Spain won three straight major tournaments. They don’t belong anywhere near this discussion.

Spain 2010 was awesome . . . ridiculous inclusion

Coop

So you voted for Italy 2006.

Archaea

One all-time goalie, a few good defenders, and an agitator . . .

They were very low in efficiency.

What exactly does that mean?

Time of possession over scoring chances. They were inefficient in terms of

Of course they were. Their midfield dominated possession and they didn't have a

I set up the poll to consider every argument for who was weak.

Efficiency is just a bad measure of quality

Coop

Then vote for another. I understand you argument.

Uruguay was the undisputed best team in the world in 1930

Don't vote for them then. I was tempted to put Uruguay 1950 instead though.

Archaea

6/13/18 6:46pm

Uruguay 1950 was a much better candidate than Uruguay 1930, IMO.

Who are the clowns that voted Spain 2010?

mik3

6/13/18 6:57pm

There are plenty of Spain haters on this board. That team is a GOAT candidate.

chilango

Exactly. You may not have liked to watch their style of play, but they were a great team.

Looks pretty clear Uruguay, Spain and Italy are the worst 3.

Many of the options in this pole make no sense.

chilango

I have an argument for each team.

How many countries fielded teams in 1930? I would argue that soccer

Archaea

Pretty much all of Europe and South America already had elite soccer. The rest

the 1934 team was awful and indications are cheating was involved in

Archaea

6/13/18 10:34pm

But was world soccer so much better in 1934?

TrackCoug

I think both teams were bad and the sport was bad at that time. 1934 involved

Greece 2004 Euros is worst team to win major trophy

scootsy

Agreed.

They committed serious crimes against the sport. Rehhagel should get a life ban.

Argentina - 1986 is the only choice. They only won because of a handball goal.

Not true, actually. They dominated the game against England and would have
