Hmm at all levels of football or just European? Real Madrid, Barcelona and Man UTD are probably the best three teams in european competitions at the moment but Arsenal are probably the best league team. Overall it would be a difficult choice so I'm not going to pick a team :p

Germany is my pick for best team :goodjob: and the Arsenal as the league team

What? There is any doubt yet?

Real Madrid, of course ;)

I think Manchester is just plain rubbish. A lot of those players really don't belong there. For the moment I'd have to say Real Madrid is the best, although I'd very much like to see a mini-tournament with AC Milan, Arsenal and Real Madrid (maybe the right three teams for the next Amsterdam Tournament?)

yeah, but it's amazing as well that FC Basel was able to hold a lead that long, shows again: Manchester sucks nowadays...

But they are still in contention with half of their team injured.
Keane, Butt, Beckham, Ferdinand, Neville,

When they all come back, they will be a match for anyone. Their young players and reserves are getting some great experience right now.

Lokomotiv Moscow of course. :) If seriously, then I'd say Barcelona. Real Madrid does not seem strong now.

didn't neville play last night?

but really I expected more of them yesterday, if they were as strong as everyone says they are they shouldn't even have sweated yesterday. but at the beginning of the second half they were lucky that they only were one goal behind (and lucky that the ref didn't expell one or the other of their players), a pity that basel broke in after the tieing goal :(

but nevertheless a great match :goodjob: (and a fantastic ambiance in the stadium) too bad I wasn't there.

from Europe I think the most I like (maybe not the best now) Barcelona and from America undoubtedly the best are River Plate from Argentina and Toluca from Mexico (only 1 lost in 20 games!!!)

There are two Nevilles...

Waht do you mean Man United shouldn't have sweated! Its the champions league, Basle knocked out Liverpool so I think they must be quite goog themselves. There are no easy games in football, just games that you should win...

It really is a game of two halves. I have waited for so long for an opportunity to use a football cliche. I can die happy.

Any team that has knocked out Celtic and Liverpool along the way has to be respected.


You'll notice I didnt mention Blanc....

I'm not so sure about Ferdinand any more.

It's hard to argue with Real Madrid's record. And anyone who's watched Brazil play would know what I mean when I say jogo bonito . . .

How can someone say that the best american team is argentinian, or even mexican??? Of course, the best team in america is brazilian. Don't ask me what team is, 'cause then my personal preferences are going to interfere.
National teams, the best is Brazil, undoubtely. Although I don't like some players, the marketing involved and everything, it is, and I'm proud of...
Brazil is the land of football!!!

brazil had the best results, but I'm pretty sure Argentina is better than them. Brazil is more a bunch of individuals than a team anyway...but really, what do we talk about, we all know who's the World Champion...

Jan 05, 2003, 04:31 AM
I would say Brazil are the better team as Argentina rely alot on a few key players, and Argentina lost to England...

The best team of the season probably comes from italy, Milano to be precise. I just can't decide if it's Inter or AC.

AC has a fantastic defense (even better than Inter), Inter has a fantastic offense (even better than AC).

on paper that might be so, but still AC Milan playes much more offensive and much more beautiful than Inter. Ajax played Inter twice, was the better one twice, but lost (although in the last match that was Urs Meier's fault), if they would play AC Milan I don't think I would even have a chance to complain about the ref.

Please don't call AC Milan "AC"
It's name is simply "Milan", while Inter Milan is simply "Inter" (in fact its real name is F.C. Internazionale)

fair enough, I'll try to remember ;) I can't stand it when f.e. Germans say Kerkrade to Roda JC or Nijmegen to NEC or even Eindhoven to PSV.

Jan 15, 2003, 11:51 AM
Isn't there a separate team called Eindhoven or something similar?

AC Milan is ok, because it's the way it's called outside Italy
In Italy we call it Milan
But "AC", no no no

Jan 15, 2003, 12:55 PM
:lol: good, but a lot of other clubs are called AC (what does it mean, asosasion de calcio or something?) as well, right? It's like calling a random English club FC.

MCdread
Jan 15, 2003, 03:32 PM
Associazione calcio, right Rhye? But there's AS aswell, I think that's for Associazione sportiva (eg, AS Roma).

Rhye
Jan 15, 2003, 06:04 PM
Yes, in Italy there are:
AC = Associazione Calcio
AS = Associazione Sportiva
FC = Football Club
SS = Società Sportiva
UC = Unione Calcio
US = Unione Sportiva
or [.....name of the team...] Calcio
