Brazil post the Zico-Socrates era has been like that.
Indeed, and that 1982 match was a 'water-shed' moment not just for Brazil but football as a whole in some ways. Thinking of which what other moments/innovations do you guys think change the course of the game as significantly as that one? The 1967 Celtic vs Inter (although without Luisito), Italy vs Brazil 1970, Inter vs Cruyff's Ajax when it came to rethinking the overly rigid catenaccio approach (giving way to a more modern interpretation in Italy iirc etc).
That's why I loved watching the Olympic team this summer. Its was the most focused on the attacking quartet-quintet than any Brazil squad I've seen since 1980s. They played a bit closer to that old Tele Santana style than any other team I remember although admittedly their squad was on another level to the other Olympic squads, even Germany.
Great pick, one of the better ones from the Copa America without a doubt.
I'd say Barca v United was a huge moment in football.. probably 2009 or 2011.. after which possession football became king and even smaller sides tried to play their own brand of it.
anyone can take my pick, plz? Thanks.
I can for now and then pass down to the 14-16 of the draft when I log off in few hours
Plz no more kocks
He really is. I picked him for the WC draft and read up on him and he is such an interesting story. He's rated so highly by the Brazilians who watched him and even if there's close to no footage there are still so many sources describing everything about him to make for a great write up.
He doesn't really suit the style of that Swedish team.Would've looked great in @Annahnomoss Swedish sideHe has a serious crush on him
Always a joy to have him though.

England - Hungary, definitely.
Hamburg - Juventus 1983?
I think your 2006 team attempted a replication in a lot of ways, cramming in four out-and-out attacking players down the middle, but again the wily European sides made light work of such idealistic naivety.
I think the 2008/09 season as a whole was a real game changer. From Spain's new brand of football in the summer of 2008 - raising eyebrows in particular with their ability to control by retaining possession when ahead against Russia and Germany - through Guardiola's first season in charge where this convention-changing brand of football was combined with a new level of domestic dominance not typically seen outside of diddy leagues in the modern era.
Maybe there is another even earlier example but I would say that Sweden vs Hungary was more the start of that revolution in how to deal with the Magyars. They cruised past every side who stood in their way on-route to winning gold, and Sweden were no exception, a 6-0 humiliation the final score, although Sweden still went on to beat Germany 2-0 only 4 days later.
Typically pragmatic and tactically astute, Raynor could see what went wrong in that game for Sweden. Whilst Hungary did have the best team in the world at that time, it was also their fluid style of play, creative outlets and early leaning’s towards total football which made them the force they were. When he faced the Hungarians again a year later, this time in Budapest, Raynor joked that he would paint the Stalin statue moustaches red should Sweden win the game. The Swedes earned themselves a hugely creditable 2-2 draw, against a Hungary side who were now unbeaten in 4 years, and Raynor’s side even hit the post in the final minute of the game.
Still with his heart set on domestic success and a future with the England team, Raynor took the opportunity to call the England manager Walter Winterbottom, and inform him of his method of success and what he had learned from playing the Hungarians, as England prepared to host Hungary in November. Raynor told Winterbottom that Nandor Hidegkuti was the linchpin to Hungary’s attack. Playing in a withdrawn role, he was the creative force of the team, and the only way to stop him without your defenders being drawn out of position was through man-marking him.
His suggestions were ignored, and borderline mocked. One FA member reportedly asked Raynor, “Can you really expect us to ask Stanley Matthews to track back?”. England lost the game 6-3, in what became known as ‘The Game of the Century’; Hidegkuti scored a hat-trick and baffled the England defence in the process. The return fixture was lost 7-1, Hidegkuti once more controlling the affair. Raynor would have to become used to being overlooked and ignored by England as his career progressed, regardless of the enormity of his success.
So the Game of the Century is sort of the popularized game where football changed, but it had already started way earlier than that. They had even received expert tactical advice on how to deal with the Magyars.
What made that game so big was that England were behind the rest in the evolution and hadn't yet faced the unescapable humiliation of playing them.
Conti and Hagi are good picks at this stage @Joga Bonito and @Enigma_87 - both were outstanding in their respective World Cups and could have gone earlier than some of the R4-6 picks.
Sure, they are great players who had a greater impact than some of the previous picks.
Curious to see if the managers will deploy their players in an identical role in which they reached their international peak (or in which they played during the specified version/tournament).

@Isotope
Cheers, mate. I was mulling over him, Ballack and another unpicked German the round before.
I'm not sure who out of Ballack/Hagi will start to be honest. Depends on the opposition I guess. Both had great world cups(1994,2002) and literally dragged their teams, being the best player in their side. Hagi brings more oomph and is more of a free role #10, while Ballack offers a lot in both phases, but both of them had excellent end product in those campaigns, so it will be tough decision who will start I guess.
You have the right reasoning.
The majority of the games will be extremely tight IMO.

Brilliant. Double wind-up of @antohan - not only does Francescoli not get the call until the 12th round, he also has to suffer the disrespect of his name getting misspelled.
The idol of Zidane who was fan of Olympique of Marseille.

Franz Beckenbauer
World Cup 1966
Individual Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Best Young Player Award
FIFA World Cup Bronze Boot
FIFA World Cup Team of the Tournament
Team Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Silver Medal
Profile:
Before he earned the nickname Der Kaiser, Franz Beckenbauer was tipped for great things as West Germany prepared for 1966. The Bayern Munich player had made his international debut less than a year earlier but had already established himself in Helmut Schon's first team. Beckenbauer was still three months shy of his 21st birthday when Germany's campaign got underway at Hillsborough on July 12, 1966.
The young Kaiser made an immediate impact, scoring twice in the 5-0 romp over neighbours Switzerland. He'd add another in the 4-0 quarter-final win against Uruguay before scoring the priceless winner in the semi-final against the Soviet Union.
Beckenbauer's galloping runs became a hallmark of West Germany's charge to the final. His second against Switzerland was a fine example as he escaped three Swiss players to coolly slot home with all the confidence of a striker. Then there was the fabulous one-two which set up his goal against Uruguay but the pick of the bunch came in the semi-final when he seized the ball on the edge of the box and quickly switched feet before unleashing a rocket which beat the great black cat Lev Yashin.
The Germans had fallen at the final hurdle, lost to England in the extra time but Beckenbauer had a notable tournament, finishing tied for third on the list of top scorers—from a non-attacking position. The team returned to a heroes' welcome in their homeland.
Elias Figueroa
World Cup 1974
Individual Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Team of the Tournament
Team Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Group Stage
Profile:
Luckily drawn two german sides in a group of four while the tournaments is taking place in Germany. At the end was elected as the best central defender of the tournament, despite Chile's poor performance in the competition. Team conceded only 2 goals in those 3 games and of those 2 one was a long ranger from Breitner and the second one was a gk mistake. Team defended very well in all 3 games lead by Don Elias who specially impressed against West Germans where he completely stopped one of the best strikers in history of the game in Gerd Muller.
Andres Iniesta
Euro 2012
Individual Accomplishments:
UEFA Euro Team of the Tournament
UEFA Euro Final Man of the Match
UEFA Euro Player of the Tournament
Team Accomplishments:
UEFA Euro Gold Medal
Profile:
First it was Andrés Iniesta versus Italy, then it was Andrés Iniesta versus Croatia. One man taking on two entire teams: two virtually identical photographs that seemed to define him, revealing the respect and the fear that he provokes in opponents.
Opponents look for him, surrounding him. Team-mates look to him, too. Vicente del Bosque has an almost allergic aversion to singling out players or elevating anyone above the others. So it means something when he says, as he did before Spain's second game: "Hopefully Andrés can be decisive – as he always is."
...and as expected, Andres didnt dissappoint. Finished the tournament strongly, voted best player of the tournament and MOTM of the final.
Luis Figo
World Cup 2006
Individual Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Team of the Tournament
Team Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Wooden Medal
Profile:
Figo captained the squad during the 2006 World Cup, leading the team to the semi-finals. With three wins, Portugal finished top of their group and qualified for the knock-out rounds with Mexico. They advanced past the Netherlands in the last 16, and defeated England on penalties in the quarter-final. Figo did not take part in the shootout, having been substituted for Helder Postiga. In the semi-final, Portugal were beaten by France courtesy of a penalty from his former club-mate and French captain Zinedine Zidane. This was Portugal's best finish in 40 years. The third place playoff caused some controversy as Figo did not start; Pauleta captained the team in his place. However, Portugal fell behind 2–0 to hosts Germany and Figo replaced Pauleta in the 77th minute, who handed him back the captain's armband to cheers from both Portuguese and German fans. Although Germany scored another goal shortly after Figo's entrance, he ended his final cap for his country on a high note by setting up Nuno Gomes to head in an 88th-minute consolation goal.
Despite having no trophies to show for the "Golden Generation," Figo managed to captain the team to their best World Cup performance since the Eusebio era in 1966.
Philipp Lahm
World Cup 2014
Individual Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Castrol Index All-Star Team
Team Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Gold Medal
Profile:
Started the tournament as a defensive midfielder but when staff got serious he was moved back into his natural position. In next 300 minutes of football the team conceded only one goal and that one came in the last minute of the game while they were leading 0:7 against the home side Brazil. In the end Lahm was named on the 10-man shortlist for FIFA's Golden Ball award for the tournament's best player.
Mario Coluna
World Cup 1966
Individual Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Team of the Tournament
Team Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Bronze Medal
Profile:
Mario Coluna was one of the world's most influential and comprehensively gifted midfielders throughout the 1960s, majestically bestriding the European football scene as captain of Benfica and Portugal, operating for both club and country as the ideal foil for the revered Eusebio. Though he was not a tall man, the muscular Coluna exuded an aura of effortless command, combining formidable physical authority with an elegant style and delightfully subtle skills which seemed somehow unexpected in one so powerful.
His best performance came at the 1966 World Cup in England, when he captained 'Os Madriços' to third place, coming agonisingly close to glory.

Nasazzi is regarded by many as Uruguay's greatest ever football player. In 1923 he lead his country to became the champions of South America which qualified them for the Olympics next year which they also won in similar fashion. At Copa they conceded 1 goal in 3 games as Nasazzi marshaled his way to the Golden Ball Award which is pretty special as he is only the third defender that had that honour in 100 years of the tournament and he won it twice!
At Olympics they walked through the tournament and won it easily, conceding only two goals in 5 games.

In 1991, Batistuta was selected to play for Argentina in the Copa America held in Chile, where he finished the tournament as top scorer with six goals as Argentina romped to victory and the post Maradona era started with a bang.
The nation reinstated the philosophy of teamwork in the beautiful game, and Gabriel Batistuta earned himself a move to Florence after his exploits in the tournament caught the eye of Vittorio Cecchi Gori, then the Vice President of Fiorentina. Gori immediately signed the new international star to bolster his attack, the rest is history....

Team Accomplishments:
UEFA Euro Gold Medal
Profile:
Yashin known as the ‘Blacks Spider’, was the team’s heart and soul at the 1960 tournament. When Lev Yashin covered the goal, not a pinhole was left open. This giant with long spidery arms always dressed in black and played with elegance and expressed gestures, marshaling his back four. He liked to stop thundering blasts with a single hand that stopped any shot, while his body remained motionless like a rock. Yashin, who was 30 years old at the time, then started to show his excellence by making a series of fine saves, highlighted by keeping out Kostić’s thunderous goal-bound free kick, to keep his team in the game.
Yashin would always organize the defensive game of his team, often so fiercely that even his wife accused him of yelling too much on the pitch. He seldom captained his teams, even though the custom of appointing a goalkeeper captain was virtually unheard-of in that era, but his leadership on the field was always evident.

Yuri Zhirkov was one of the great revelations of Russia’s team, which earned him a well-deserved spot on the Team of the Tournament and the award as Russia’s best footballer in 2008. The former winger was great on the left back where his marauding runs from deep were a huge part of Russia's success and his performances later earned him a move to Chelsea.

Individual Accomplishments:

Team Accomplishments:

Profile:
Hidegkuti played throughout the 1954 World Cup and scored four times, including one goal in the brilliant semi-final with Uruguay. His entire club career was spent in Hungary so he never gained the same headlines at Barcelona and Real Madrid that Kocsis and Puskás achieved after defection.
Former England and Leeds United manager, Don Revie paid tribute to the influence of Hidegkuti in his autobiography: "In the summer of 1954 England and Scotland were knocked out of the World Cup series in Switzerland. That competition was won by Germany, but dominated by Hungary, who played with a deep-lying centre forward, Nandor Hidegkuti. Alongside him; Sandor Koscis and Ferenc Puskas, two of the greatest inside-forwards in the world. But whatever people claim of Koscis and Puskas, it was the man Hidegkuti who tore the England defence to shreds at Wembley in November 1953. It was Hidegkuti, again playing his hide-and-seek centre-forward game, who shattered England in the return match in Budapest in May 1954, when we were thrashed 7-1."
Every orchestra needs a conductor to truly bring the best out of its musicians. The brilliant Mighty Magyars had Nándor Hidegkuti.

Team Accomplishments:
FIFA World Cup Quarter-Finals
Profile:
"The man who shut up Maracanã" - considered to be one of the greatest wingers in the history of football, and the best right winger Brazil has produced after Garrincha and Jairzinho - Julinho was a technically gifted, powerful, tricky, goalscoring winger with remarkable dribbling skills - in typical Brazilian mold. One of the great tragedies of Julinho's international career was the fact that in the 1950s, most South American national teams did not select their foreign-based players. However, Brazil asked Julinho to return to the national team for the World Cuo Finals in 1958. They even suggested that he would meet them in Europe after they arrived for the World Cup Finals. However, Julinho did not want to take a spot of a regular player who fought the World Cup qualifiers and the buildup and tuned the invitation down. If he had taken the spot, Brazil would have dropped Garrincha, who was the backup right wing leading up to the World Cup Finals. The rest as they say is history - Garrincha ascended to godly status in Julinho's right forward role - and Julinho could only play a leading part in the 1954 World Cup (with the likes of Didi, Nilton Santos, Djalma Santos) - scoring 2 goals before losing to Puskás's Magyars in the quarterfinal - a match dubbed the Battle of Bern where 3 players were sent off. Consequently, he missed out on Brazil's era of great success with the 1958 and 1962 World Cups - sandwiched between the heartbreak of 1950 - which became immortalized in wider public consciousness. At club level, Julinho played for Juventus and Portuguesa; and after joining Fiorentina was fundamental for the team to conquer their first Scudetto, apart from reaching the European Cup final vs Di Stéfano's Madrid.

Cubillas helped Peru advance to the quarter-finals of the 1970 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. He scored in all of Peru's four matches: once against Bulgaria, twice against Morocco, and once against West Germany, all in the first round. Cubillas then scored another goal in the quarter-final loss against eventual champions Brazil, and he thus finished as the third highest goal scorer in the tournament.
He won the FIFA World Cup Young Player of the Tournament Award, and was third in the Golden Shoe award.

Before he earned the nickname Der Kaiser, Franz Beckenbauer was tipped for great things as West Germany prepared for 1966. The Bayern Munich player had made his international debut less than a year earlier but had already established himself in Helmut Schon's first team. Beckenbauer was still three months shy of his 21st birthday when Germany's campaign got underway at Hillsborough on July 12, 1966.
The young Kaiser made an immediate impact, scoring twice in the 5-0 romp over neighbours Switzerland. He'd add another in the 4-0 quarter-final win against Uruguay before scoring the priceless winner in the semi-final against the Soviet Union.
Beckenbauer's galloping runs became a hallmark of West Germany's charge to the final. His second against Switzerland was a fine example as he escaped three Swiss players to coolly slot home with all the confidence of a striker. Then there was the fabulous one-two which set up his goal against Uruguay but the pick of the bunch came in the semi-final when he seized the ball on the edge of the box and quickly switched feet before unleashing a rocket which beat the great black cat Lev Yashin.
The Germans had fallen at the final hurdle, lost to England in the extra time but Beckenbauer had a notable tournament, finishing tied for third on the list of top scorers—from a non-attacking position. The team returned to a heroes' welcome in their homeland.

First it was Andrés Iniesta versus Italy, then it was Andrés Iniesta versus Croatia. One man taking on two entire teams: two virtually identical photographs that seemed to define him, revealing the respect and the fear that he provokes in opponents.
Opponents look for him, surrounding him. Team-mates look to him, too. Vicente del Bosque has an almost allergic aversion to singling out players or elevating anyone above the others. So it means something when he says, as he did before Spain's second game: "Hopefully Andrés can be decisive – as he always is."
...and as expected, Andres didnt dissappoint. Finished the tournament strongly, voted best player of the tournament and MOTM of the final.

Figo captained the squad during the 2006 World Cup, leading the team to the semi-finals. With three wins, Portugal finished top of their group and qualified for the knock-out rounds with Mexico. They advanced past the Netherlands in the last 16, and defeated England on penalties in the quarter-final. Figo did not take part in the shootout, having been substituted for Helder Postiga. In the semi-final, Portugal were beaten by France courtesy of a penalty from his former club-mate and French captain Zinedine Zidane. This was Portugal's best finish in 40 years. The third place playoff caused some controversy as Figo did not start; Pauleta captained the team in his place. However, Portugal fell behind 2–0 to hosts Germany and Figo replaced Pauleta in the 77th minute, who handed him back the captain's armband to cheers from both Portuguese and German fans. Although Germany scored another goal shortly after Figo's entrance, he ended his final cap for his country on a high note by setting up Nuno Gomes to head in an 88th-minute consolation goal.
Despite having no trophies to show for the "Golden Generation," Figo managed to captain the team to their best World Cup performance since the Eusebio era in 1966.
