All Time World Cup!

By Andrew Neill

The failure of all four home nations to qualify for Euro 2008 has led to nostalgic conversations in pubs up and down the land, pining for the days of old when there were players who did the shirt proud.

Surely England would be unstoppable if they still had Lineker up front and Moore at the back? Wouldn’t Scotland have gotten through the qualifiers with Law and Dalglish up front?

But just who would be selected for an England all-time team? Just as importantly, how would they fare against the all-time teams from the rest of the world?

Which is the greatest footballing nation on Earth? Which country has produced the finest talents? Could Baresi and Maldini snuff out Pele and Romario? Who would come out on top between Beckenbauer and Matthaus’ German machine and a Dutch Cruyff-Van Basten dream team?

Well, the time has come to find out once and for all, as we launch the ALL-TIME WORLD CUP!
