raumdeuter: You are correct. The 1994 world cup was Baggio all through. The Holy Pony tail |

CapitalCee:It's not a comparism between those keepers/Defenders and the players you mentioned. Baresi was the best defender in that tournament likewise Buffon in 2006 and Neuer in 2014. Dominate respective of their positions. 2 Likes |

Expert17: Harry Kane has tops 2 good years left in him. His injury problem is worsening - it’s evident in his dwindling number of appearances in the last 3 seasons. And can our medical department handle his condition well? Remember how they’ve been fantastic and yet we keep having an injury crises every season. |

chic2pimp: Yeah Baresi 1990 not 1994 tournament as a whole, but his 1994 final performance is the best I have ever seen. VVD’s 1 month output of tackles, interceptions, clearances in 120 minutes. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Kimbeast: Ronaldo was a better player in 1998, But he absolutely dominated the 2002 tournament. The only match he did not score in was versus England in the 1/4 finals, he was head and shoulders above every attacking player in that tournament(Rivaldo has a case though) and Hassan sas of Turkey. In 1998, for me, he was also the best player in that tournament, he was allegedly poisoned and suffered concoction before the final, but there was also Dennis Bergkamp, Zidane and Davor Suker. Zidane won the best player though. |

afrodoc2: Ok. I see |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 7:53pm On Apr 16, 2020 |
CapitalCee: Common misconception. Ronaldo won the best player award. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 7:54pm On Apr 16, 2020 |
spillo1: You are absolutely correct. There is also Dino Zoff in 1982 and Oliver Kahn in 2002. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 7:57pm On Apr 16, 2020 |
afrodoc2: Really? I never knew oo, i thought it was Zidane, because he (Zidane) later won both the ballon dor and FiFa world best player that year. Honestly Ronaldo in 1998 was unplayable, even though he was just 21 at that time, One of the players in history to dominate 2 consecutive world cups. The reason I was offended at the name "Fat Ronaldo" lol |

Let me just add this here. Baresi 1990 and 1994 final. In the 1990 clip you will see excellent defending, midfield, and even wing play from Don Franco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKQUcjizTIQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boPQNpPvJq0 5 Likes 3 Shares |

afrodoc2: I am telling you. But I also noticed something, Brazilians especially attacking players dont last at the top, they easily loss form before 30. EG, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Rivaldo, Coutinho, Adriano and even Robinho although his career never got off. |

Kimbeast:Ronaldo had a great World Cup 98 and was the best player I still believe if he didn't had that seizure Brazil would have won , but it was not entirely his World Cup; Rivaldo was immense, as were the french team, Vieiri, Luis Hernandez, Salas, Suker, Bergkamp and Frank De Boer, Laudrup brothers, etc... This was a World Cup where almost every team brought in something to the table. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 8:14pm On Apr 16, 2020 |
afrodoc2: True true, Football that time was hard ooo, those attackers that period de try oo. See intensity. Where is raumdeuter? Come and see World cup final defensive performance, no be dat audio one wey you de dash Boateng for 2014. |

spillo1: I have actively watched all world cups from 1994, but France 98 was the best. See stars. -Valderramma and Asprilla from Colombia. - Beirhoff and Klinsmann from Germany. - Kluivert, Seedorf, Davies, Bergkamp, Stam, De Boer brothers from Netherlands. - Brazil was lite. Ceaser Sampiao was the unsung hero. France was laden with stars, the only surprise was Stéphane Guivarc'h starting. Mihajlovic of Yugoslavia. Croatia has Suker, Prosinecki, Denmark has Sand, Laudrup and Schmeichel. Italy was overloaded. Romania with Hagi and co. |

CapitalCee: You can only face whats in front of you. Boateng only faced whats in front of him which included some of the best strikers of his generation in Messi Aguero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1SkXGrTFOc |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by spillo1: 8:26pm On Apr 16, 2020 |
CapitalCee:Lol back then intentionally elbowing a striker in the face was a perfectly valid defensive play rather than a penalty and red card. Some of all these ajebutter strikers and players of today won't be able to cope. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 8:33pm On Apr 16, 2020 |
raumdeuter: Him try sha. But looking at that 1994 clip, the match was so super charged, No wonder world cup no de sweet again |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 8:34pm On Apr 16, 2020 |
spillo1: Am telling you. If you take Ronaldo and Messi to that time, they will not score as much as they are scoring now. And that time, there are more world class defenders available |

CapitalCee: Rules are different and it favors attackers now more than defenders, the tackles those defender got away with will get you red carded today |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 10:44pm On Apr 16, 2020 |
Like Materazzi and his signature elbow foul. Plenty red cards. ![]() Ramos doesn’t do up to half of what those defenders do in the 80s and he holds the record for highest red cards. Imagine Neymar playing in the 80s and 70s. He won’t need any advice to stop unnecessarily dribbles. 3 Likes |

afrodoc2:I was going to quote him until I saw your post. Zidane won that final with his headers but thuram, desaily and the parapo defence really neutralized choked Brazil's attack. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 1:54am On Apr 17, 2020 |
pamcode: That is one of the best World Cup defences ever. Blanc and Desailly at the end of their peaks, Thuram and Lizarazu at the start of theirs. Only thing that spoiled it was Blanc missing the final, but Leboeuf stepped in seamlessly. |

afrodoc2: I heard one name, Canniga ![]() ![]() |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 6:25am On Apr 17, 2020 |
codedguy1:He is the guy that killed Brazil in 1990 and killed us in 1994. Uche Okechukwu left him to man central defence during a set piece while Cannigia was on the left wing (right part of our box) screaming "Diego, Diego". Maradona quickly passed him the ball and Cannigia hung the ball far post. Then Benjamin Massing almost cut him in half with one of the most (in)famous tackles in world cup history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_FHqWXllX4 |
