Much, much better than Kahn with the ball at his feet and equally as good at commanding the area. Kahn was more imposing though in a Schmeichel like way.

Plus Kahn played for Bayern, look at the big club bias regarding German national team and Bayern players, it was a Bayern fan who told me this when I was there for the Hamburg game a few months ago and we were talking CL and WC prospects, he was saying even with his bias that he realised other teams players had been overlooked. Bayern Munich sees itself as the true German representatives, dont even mention Dortmund or RB Leipzig? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and I dare say height kept him out of contention for German squads. Still, 9 trophies with us and Bundeslia titles and a champions league with Dortmund. Had as good a career as any of them, and it probably says more about the DFBs bias towards picking Bayern players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Queen's Park/Rangers 11 would have trounced anyone around the turn of the century. There were Olympics in its place.

ronniemca 479 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Followed the gers for almost 70 years and the only truly world class players (that is a player playing for us who could play for any team in the world) would be Baxter and the younger Willie Henderson Ozblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulbrian11 433 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 The De Boer’s definitely. They almost did in 98 as mentioned above. Richard Gough and Souness could have as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was speaking to a scum fan at work last night about that final (and similar to this topic in general) and they completely forgot about the existence of Braafheid. Regards to the final, I was the exact same. Didn't care how great that Spain team was, was just really hoping GVB could lift the world cup. And to a lesser extent, that particular generation of Dutch players as well ie Sneijder, Van Der Vaart etc and the fact they never clicnhed it in their own heyday.

I find it weird that nobody does the Mols turn. Plenty players do the Cruyff turn or step-overs but I can honestly say I've never seen another player try what Mols did so effectively as it works really well.

The terms world class and world Cup winner class are totally separate, one being a proper description the other being a bit of luck. You've failed to read the OP properly. Tannerall in his OP has already stated Guivarche doesn't count despite already winning the world cup (thanks to an unwell Ronaldo IMO). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rum Ham 2,063 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Claudio Caniggia surely considering he scored against Brazil and Italy to get Argentina to the final in 1990, they might have won it that year if he wasn't suspended for the final.

K.A.I 36,183 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I don't really follow international football but what sort of impact did Brian Laudrup have in Denmark's 1992 Euro's final and in their games thereafter? even though he was a class act for us domestically, he never done it for Rangers on the European stage and wasn't a big player for Bayern Munich and AC Milan before coming to us.

Crazy to think how many genuinely world class keepers Germany used to produce. Klos would definitely have been a pick for Germany if those guys weren t there.
