Football is one of the most popular sports in the world.
Football is all about skill, talent, stamina, speed and class. In the highest level nerve is also very necessary. The best ten football teams are:-
Latin American Football:-
Brazil Formation mainly 3-5-2
Is the Best football playing team in the world. This country always produces some extraordinary talents from Pele to Ronaldinho. The main anthem of this team is “Offence is the best defense”. Brazil is a country of great poverty. But in this game Brazilians are the king of all kings.
Brazil plays total football. The type of Latin American and European football was quite different in 1950’s a or 60’s. But as the day progresses the style of Brazilian soccer is converting to European football. The reason behind this is the top players of Brazil are playing in the European club football(Ronaldo, Carlos:-Real Madrid, Ronaldinho:-Manchester United, Rivaldo:-Milan etc). But still the Brazilian football is more attractive than European football as each and everybody of this team are great artist in his own position.
Brazil has won football world cup 5 times(1958, 1962,1970,1994,2002).
ArgentinaFormation mainly 4-4-2
I support Argentina only for the spoiled prince Diego Maradona. Argentina is also a very strong force in world soccer. The style of Argentina football is different from brazil. But they also play attractive football. Though Ortega is not a very good substitute for Maradona but he is a very useful player. Batistuta has retired from football but he was also a very dangerous footballer.
In the recent world cup there was many expectation on this country. But the group was very tough. There were tough teams like Nigeria and England. That’s why after losing to England Argentina was out of World cup soccer.
Argentina has won the worldcup twice. In 1986 the super star of world football was Maradona. .
European:-
ItalyFormation 5-3-2
Italy mainly plays Kataneccio football. There main motto is to just score one goal, then keep their defense intact. As the football of Italy is very defensive sometimes it is eye sore.
Italian football has some different characteristic than other countries. The football of Italy is very defensive. The legends of Italian football are Schilacchi, Baggio, Paolo Maldini. The Italian players are very handsome.
Italy has won soccer worldcup thrice. Italy is one of those teams which has won the worldcup thrice. But in recent times they are failing in the Euro and worldcup.
FranceFormation: 4-4-2 sometimes 3-5-2
“In 1998 world cup a football power suddenly woke up from deep sleep and in 2002
The team again went into deep sleep”. Yes, undoubtedly the surprising team is France.
In 1998 they played complete football. Each and every body of the team was very spirited. But in the recent worldcup surprisingly this team didn’t score any goal and they are out in the first round!
Michele Platini was a legend in world football and the football world first knew about France football via this footballer. France is a country of Artists. They plays attractive football. I don’t think the main reason behind the bad result in 2002 W.C is the absence of Zidane. They have the highest goal getter player like Theory Henry, Wiltord etc. That was just an accident.
Germany Formation:- 4-4-2/4-5-1
Germany is another football super power. They have won football worldcup thrice like Italy. This team is the runners up in 2002 world cup. In recent times this is the highest achievement of this country. They last won the soccer world cup in 1990. They defeated Argentina in Final and took a sweet revenge of 1986.
Though in recent times the football of Germany is not very good. Today the Bundeshliga is not so much popular like English Premier League or Spanish La Liga but Germany is improving now and their standard will remain the same.
Netherlands Formation:- 3-5-2
Though Netherlands was unable to qualify for the 2002 world cup but they has a great tradition in world football. The oranges play some attractive football and make the football an art. The forward line of Bergkamp and Overmarce is the fastest in world football.
Netherlands never has won the football worldcup title in the football history. But in each and every world cup Netherlands is one of the favorite country. The footballer of Netherlands are very desperate to win the title for their country.
Englandformation:- 4-4-2
Though England has formed the sports named football but today they are not at very good position in world soccer. Though E.P.L is very popular but the main players of E.P.L are Foreigner. David Beckham, Giggs, David Seaman, Paul Scholes etc are now the main player of England. England has won the World Cup Title only 1 times in 1966. Bobby Robson was the superstar of that world cup.
English Football is improving everyday. The young player like Michael Owen, Andrew Cole are the future of England. Though David Beckham left Manchester United, but I think the popularity of E.P.L will remain the same.
Africa:-The future super power of Football
Undoubtedly African Football will be the football super power in next 50 years. The teams like Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal,South Africa are really playing very good football. Cameroon has reached to the final of Confederation Cup. Senegal has defeated Defended Champion France in 2002 world cup and reached in the quarter final. The rhythm of African football is very attractive and I like it very much. The best thing about African Football is the physical fitness of the players. The players are very stout(The death of Vivien Foe is really very sad). Senegal has impressed the football lover so much. Player like Papa Bauba Deouf is playing great football in the present circumstances. Roger Milla, Song played some great football. Liberian footballer jeorje wiia once selected as the footballer of the year. A great future is waiting for the Africans in future.
Asian:-Japan, South Korea
Though Japan and South Korea was the host of 2002 world cup but they played very good football in this world cup. Nakata is the Asian football super star. South Korea played great football. This team stood 4th in this world cup. This Red Devils defeated super power team like Italy. Though many experts is telling that they got the home advantage in this world cup but I am optimistic about this countries. Because they are improving everyday and playing very attractive football. Lets Wait!.
