    they were the ones that knocked us out though. Am I missing something ?

    if we'd beaten wg we would have faced Italy in the semis. Win that and it would have been Brazil in the final !

    On right I thought you were saying they were arguably the best team of all time. My point wasn't well made but what I meant was we came up against Brazil who beat us in the groups and would have beaten us again had we made it further.

    I think we may have had a good chance if we had made it to the final. I really think it would have been an excellent match.

    It probably would, we were a very good side back then and although I've only seen highlights the group game against them looked like a good match. The final against Italy wasn't too bad though.

    Surely Keegan has to be in somebody's all time XI? I can't be arsed to list one but I reckon he'd be in it.

    I could have picked a few teams tbh, Keegan was on my shortlist.

    He was top quality in the late 70's / early 80's.
