“We didn’t play the best football at the World Cup either,” Canna said.
“Our group spirit and the ability to make the most of our characteristics made the difference in Germany,” stated the Real Madrid man.

Really, Rami? The 1988 European Champions beg to differ :p

Fliakis said:
it isnt. how is the way italy played at the world cup relevant? theyre campioni del mondo and thats that.
The very discussion concerned who played the best football at the world cup. It was never about who won it. Focus, will yer.

I was referring to 74 and 78 :D, it was a tragedy in its truest sense.

Wasn't really taking a dig at your nations football, I really respect it, you guys rocked since the 70's up to 94....you lost steam after that:confused:

Actually, we sucked ass in the 80s too. Well up to 88. When it comes down to it, we had two good spells: the 70s and the late 80s through the early 90s. It's why I don't consider Holland to be a great footballing nation. We didn't even exist as proper football nation before Cruyff.

And I'm not sure we deserve respect seeing as we usually don't win because we somehow self-destruct :D

Lol, is it the Debate-Just-For-The-Sake-Of-Debate Day??

I respected the Cruyff-Neskens era and the Basten-Gulliet-Rijkard eras a lot....and to some extent WC 94 team, maybe they weren't great, but the match against Brazil is such a classic...

Yeah it was. I'm not sure if the '98 team was stronger but I did like them.

As for debates: slow day at work, my apologies. Just don't take anything I say personal: you should never do that lol

After 2 years and around 5000 posts, I pretty much learned that....

No need to apoligize, I just found it kinda funny, I critisized America, you didn't like it, I praised your country, you didn't like it...:D
