Schumacher (not the roundy-roundy driver, the keeper) deserves a place for his wild attempted decapitation of Battiston

Johann Cruyff anyone?

And no English players!

What about Lineker, Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton?

If I restrict myself to players who have played since 1990 I can think of

Baggio van Basten
Giggs Zidane Matthaeus Guillet
Maldini Baresi Hierro Thuram
Kahn

And Stojkovic can come on for van Basten when he gets injured

Zoff
Fachetti Baresi Cannavaro Gentile
Baggio Mazzola Tardelli
Totti
Rossi Vieri

Planning to replace Vieri with Van Basten for the last 10 minutes. Got to give the minor nations a run out, haven't I.

Cheers to Greeb for selecting Maldini. One of the best defenders in the game. Unfortunately no longer on the Italian squad....

With a 3-4-1-2 formation

Goalkeeper: Lev Yashin

Centre Back: Bobby Moore
Centre Back: Franco Baresi
Centre Back: Franz Beckenbauer

Right Mid: Johan Cruyff
Centre Mid: Pavel Nedved
Centre Mid: Lothar Mattheus
Left Mid: George Best

In the hole: Zinedine Zidane

Striker: Marco Van Basten
Striker: Gary Lineker

Alfredo Di Stefano, Paulo Maldini, Ferenc Puskas, Roberto Baggio and Michel Platini all narrowly miss out.
