Comments: A line-up dominated by the 1930 winners Uruguay,
with almost half the team from the world champions.
Team Formation: 2-3-5 |
|
Comments: Again, dominated by the world
champions - Italy this time. Monti, who played for Argentina four years
ago, was now part of the successful Italian team.
Team Formation: 2-3-5 |
|
Commnets: Italy provides 6 players in this line-up, dominating
defense and midfield. The strikers were the most famous in their
respective countries: Brazil's Leonidas, Italy's Piola, Hungary's
Sarosi.
Team Formation: 2-3-5 |
|
Comments: The world champions Uruguay provides only three
members. This is a tournament in which the Latin players did extremely
well - with Nilsson being the only non-Latin player in the team
Team Formation: W-M |
|
Comments: Hungary's "Golden Team", although did not win
the tournament, provides no less than 5 members. Players like Puskas,
Kocsis, Bozsik, Czibor and Grosics were good enough to walk into any team
of that time. Thanks to Hungary, team formations were now about to
move away from the traditional 2-3-5 and W-M. Austria's Ocwirk, originally
an attacking center-half, was selected at a deeper position.
Team Formation: 3-3-4 |
|
Comments: Line-up dominated by Brazil. The team
includes all-time greats such as Pele, Garrincha, Kopa, Yashin, Didi, Fontaine,
N.Santos.
Team Formation: 3-2-5 |
|
Comments: Brazil again excelled in this World Cup with Garrincha,
D.Santos, Zito and Zagalo selected. Zagalo now played in midfield
instead of the forward line. The three attackers were all joint top-scorers.
Team Formation: 4-3-3 |
|
Comments: Journalists selected 4 players from England
- Banks, Moore, Charlton and Cohen. Top scorer Eusebio was an automatic
selection for his dazzyling display. Albert's memorable performance
against Brazil also guaranteed selection.
Team Formation: 4-2-4 |
|
Comments: Most of these players selected enjoyed lasting
fame for their World Cup heroics. Even the defenders were renowned
throughout the world and could score goals.
Team Formation: 4-3-3 |
|
Comments: A line-up dominated by three countries:
Holland, West Germany and Poland.
Team Formation: 4-3-3 |
|
Comments: Surprisingly, only three players from the champions
Argentina, with Passarella and Ardiles missing out.
Formation used: 4-3-3 |
|
Comments: France, Italy and Brazil provided all but two
players. Exicitng attacking talents such as Zico, Platini, Rossi,
Boniek and Rummennigge made a mouth-watering attack.
Team Formation: 4-4-2 |
|
Comments: A balanced squad assembled to play modern soccer,
with Fernandez anchoring midifeld and Maradona the chief conductor.
Team Formation: 4-3-3 |
|
Comments: For the first time in World Cup history, most
teams played with a five-men defence. (but the formation selected above
is still 4-4-2). Top-class defenders can be seen in Baresi, Kohler, Maldini
and Brehme. Matthaus was the midfield anchor man assisted by Giannini.
Hagi was the playmaker.
Team Formation: 4-4-2 |
|
Comments: Romario, Stoichkov, Baggio and Hagi were attackers
with flair and skills.
Team Formation: 3-4-3 |
|
Comments: A team good enough to beat any side. It
also include most of the greatest players in soccer history, perhaps with
the exception of Matthews, Puskas and Di Stefano.
Team Formation: 4-3-3 |
