it's better to play him as a midfeilder

: (3) Cruyff (Holland) F

these 3 should not be on this team

: (9) Beckenbauer (Germany) Right Back
: (10) Barisi (Italy

Passarella or Junior would be a better sweeper.

: (11) tie Zoff (Italy) & Shilton (England) Goal

What happened to Yashin and Banks?

Hagi? Stoichkov?? Branco??? I admit these players were (are) good -
but maybe USA 94 is playing too heavily in your equation.
Beckenbauer would be the obvious sweeper - not Baresi. The goalkeeping
place would have to go to Banks.

OK, they're all great players, but as a team they'd be absolutely
belted by any reasonably balanced national squad. A team with 2
backs and 4 forwards???

It is true that the fourth forward should a back named Maldini to
balnce the squad. I also think that you should move Cruyff/Maradona or
even Pele back to midfielder instead of Stoichkov. Stoichkov is a
natural cherry-picker/striker and isn't the playmaker that the other
three are. You want your midfielders to be the better playmakers.
