Missed this game but I would have voted for @2mufc0.
Sjor looks weaker than in the last round and, unless I'm missing something regarding the rules, I'm surprised the telepathic Rivaldo/Ronaldo partnership (look at Rivaldo's assists for Ronaldo against Holland in '98 and Turkey in '02) didn't get showcased.
Yeah I'd rate Coluna higher, but it was more about the balance and synergy up top. The 3-4-2-1 places Rivaldo and Meazza in their perfect inside-left/right roles. Plus the proven Brazilian partnership as well. Rivaldo was the best player in 2002 IMO, and although he started to drop off from that season on, he was the closest of the three to their respective peaks.you rate Coluna so much higher then Ardiles or you dont think Ronaldo is much better then Rivaldo 02?
What i realized in last few days since WC threads started is that Brazil 02 is probably the most overrated national team ever. Names wise they were top notch so thats probably the reason but they really didnt play that well. They were good but not that great and neither of Rs from that tourno should be playing at this stage, maybe Ronaldo if you need a poacher but then again its a travesty to use that version when you can use him at his peak where he was twice the player.
