What a weird year 2004 was, Porto winning the Champions League, the last team from outside the big 5 leagues to win it to date, then rank outsiders GREECE winning the Euros against Portugal in Lisbon
And Portugal had many of the same players who had just won the UCL with Porto. P.S. Once Caldas, a small team from Colombia, defeated Boca in the Libertadores Final that same year.
Fun fact - Fabio Cannavaro had an interview before Euro 2004 started, he was asked which team didn't have a chance of lifting the trophy, he said GREECE.
Gullit probably did the best job of captaining his team at the euro 88. He was the captain that made all the players feel more confident walking out on the pitch anyway, but he was also the one that made the players and the manager Michels gel. The season up to the euro's had been too long for him and he wasn't in great shape. He admitted that, just worked his ass off while reading the game well, let others star and scored a crucial goal in the final when the going got tough.
Day 5 : Do a video on the Seven best footballers who made their senior international debuts prior to their first team club debuts. Like so King Alfie can see 😉
How does it come that Deschamps, Klinsmann, Gullit, Casillas are so low ranked, when their overall career is the criteria? And I would put Zagorakis above Olsen and maybe Dietz
I'm still of the opinion that if Ronaldo has stayed on the pitch at the Euro 2016 Final that Portugal would not have gone on to win it. Ronaldo's substitution forced Portugal to play more as an actual team rather than a "get it up to Ronaldo and hope for the best" sort of team. Portugal were just stumbling through and their only win in 90 minutes was against Wales in the semi's

Ranking captains based on how good they are as individual players doesn't really make much sense. It should be based on their leadership and how influential were they as leaders in the final outcome of the tournament.

At times alfie's blatant hate for Cristiano Ronaldo is quite dissapointing.
yes he doesn't hide his Barca colors at all
Let that continue
Ronaldo himslef said hate makes him unstoppable
How did you come to that conclusion?
Must have been when he said he was the best Euros winning captain of all time. Pretty harsh of me, I suppose.
Football was much harder physically when the Kaiser played. Injuries were more likely to end or restrict a career as well.
Ranking captains based on how good they are as individual players doesn't really make much sense. It should be based on their leadership and how influential were they as leaders in the final outcome of the tournament.
1:45 it’s obviously the best goalkeeper/Spanish player ever
7:20 well that aged badly
