Maradona's Argentina certainly weren't, they were carried by Maradona and had nothing like the depth of this Spain side. Not to mention they only won one World Cup and one Copa America. | ||

I think you're underestimating how much having Maradona adds to your team, lol. I'd say 1970 Brazil is easily more legendary than this Spain team, though. They dominated everything, and convincingly. Spain hasn't been convincing outside of this game, lol. | ||

Either way, it doesn't matter, like I said, because being the best of all time is about being the best, not about winning for a long period of time. There are teams that won the WC once and nothing else that I'd put in the running for best national team ever. Every team that wins a World Cup plays great football. Winning 2 European Championships and a World Cup in a row is completely unprecedented. | ||

Brazil didn't even win the 74 or 66 World Cup, in fact they didn't even make the final. | ||

'78s argentina was a much much much better team than '86s argentina. Maradona didn't have the garrinchas and the rivaldos that Pele and Ronaldo had. That's why he's | ||

would every euro team of 2012 defeat the world champions of 1954? probably yes. does that mean they played bad football back then? absolutely not. in addition to that: dont try to argue with aeroplane, he's a well known flamebaiter and doesnt accept opinions other than his own ;-) | ||

Yeah, it is, but this isn't the same team as Euro 2008. So while there may be a few Spanish players, like Iniesta, who can be called true legends, the team itself has changed greatly. Forgot about Brazil 2002. I don't think this Spain team would be able to handle Ronaldo. | ||
