Continuing our list of top players/ultimate fantasy soccer teams. @Bacariza and I compiled this list of the top team from the last 20 years. This list is sure to spark some controversy, but hey, that’s why its up here.
If you’re wondering why this is a spanish heavy team, well @Bacariza is from spain, and I’m American, and none of my countrymen made it on the list… 🙁

Manny maradona was a great player with a world of talent, how ever he will go down in history in my book as the biggest waste of talent in history. The reason he was so good in world cups is he didn’t have to work ethic to withstand a full season, that’s why he never amounted to much in his club teams.

I refuse to include maradona. now if the list was greatest consumers of cocaine in the last 50 years, he’d be up there.
