  • The 21st century has given us one of the greatest national teams of all time, in Spain, possibly the greatest club side we've ever seen, in Barcelona, and, arguably, the two greatest footballers of all time, in Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
    In this video, following twelve months of work, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of the greatest players since 2000 in every position, from goalkeepers to strikers, the greatest managers, and ultimately a greatest XI & squad from throughout the period.

    Imo Lahm is the best fullback ever played the game because he just shut down everyone he played against. His most impressive stats are he never received a red card in his career and played a whole season without booking even a single foul. 🤯

    I love and tend to agree with most everything with this Channel..but Dani Carvajal not being minimum a top 2 right back is criminal. He’s been a starter and made an impact on FIVE Champions League winning Real Madrid squads and finals. And given how Madrid are in Semi’s again this season…possibly a 6th. Needs serious respect on his name.

    Can you please make a video about Cristiano Ronaldo. Not about his ability but the hate that revolves him recently. Granted yes I am a Ronaldo fan since childhood and he means a lot to me, but ever since the 2022 WC he has been slandered and hated like never before, I find pretty sad.

He was also showing signs to really propel Cymru as a manager too.

    RB: Cafu
    CB: Ramos
    LB: Marcelo (his impact was imo more than Coles, but ok Choice)
    CDM: Casemiro (Busquets very good player, solid, but not as dominant…)
    ZM: Xavi (Kroos also Top 7 imo)
    10: peak Ronaldinho ok
    RF: Messi
    ST: Pure Striker: Ibra
    LF: Ronaldo
    Manager: Jose Murinho

The DoF, Marc Canham promised the manager would be in place for the first week of April (now passed) but now they have pushed back the deadline to September. They have yet to have announced the interim head coach for their friendlies vs Hungary and Portugal.
    On the bright side Evan Ferguson came to the fore and has since then has had a huge drop in form.

    Dude won a hatrick of Premier league golden gloves beating Cech & Van Der Sar, despite both of them having better defenders and defensive midfielders protecting them. A calming presence in the box and a reliable penalty stopper, he was also the best ball playing goalkeeper in the word before Neuer arrived on the scene. Also don't forget that he was the second choice goalkeeper for that all conquering Spanish side - Valdes was clearly a distant third choice in the national side. Yes, he did start declining by 2013, but so did Valdes after that horrible injury towards the end of his Barcelona career. However, Reina did recover from his decline and had impressive stints at Napoli, Lazio, Aston Villa and is still going at Villa Real. Please put on some respect on his name.

    If you hadn't pur Cole as no.1 for LB, I would have switched off and I say that as an Arsenal fan! Easiest pick on the list.

    Crazy good list, but you can't leave Kroos out of the top3 based on his historical pass accuracy, titles and caps. Beats the shit out of all the english guys in debate, in all aspects save maybe goals with Gerrard.
