Wasn't born when Brazil won in 1970 and was only 4 when they had the 'greatest team that didn't win the World Cup' in 1982, so going on teams I've seen, I'd probably say the West Germany team in 1990. Lothar Matthaeus was tremendous in that tournament, as was Andreas Brehme at left back, while Klinsmann and Voeller up front were a strong pairing. I liked the France '98 team for the performance of their 2 overlapping full backs. Bixente Lizarazu was absolutely magnificent for them in that World Cup and him and Lilian Thuram, plus Roberto Carlos and Cafu really were the game changers for the modern full back's game being as much about building attacks as preventing the opposition's attacks. Argentina in 2006 were good to watch with their team goal against Serbia-Montenegro, although they peaked too early.

Away from the World Cup, Holland in the 1988 European Championships and the Czech Republic in Euro 2004 were both teams I loved watching. The Czechs in 2004 were probably the best team not to win the Euros, undone by a horrible defensive performance by Greece and that stupid silver goal rule that UEFA introduced which rewarded Greece's approach.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Cameroon and Roger (Im only 30 Millar) they and he were gooood !!! V Colombia 1990

 

[Bold Seagull]

The Sicilian. Only 2 caps prior to the '90 WC, set the tournament on fire. Toto Schillaci, loved him.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

FR Yugoslavia from France 98.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Poland 1974 - Lato, Gadocha, Deyna and the rest. If the semi-final pitch hadn't been a quagmire they'd have beaten West Germany and the fianl against Holland would have been a classic.
