Also posted : Dirceu Lopes, Renato Gaucho (disqualified as all-brazilian), Cantona (disqualified as narco-team), Zamorano, Ibra and more. Manys from Placar (Times dos sonhos), FourFourTwo, Sky Sports (« played with »), SoFoot and of course all possible sources as the magazines in paper, newspapers, books. (websites of mags don't have all the 11 that are in the mags, obviously)

From France Football I remember Halilhodzic had Osim, Platini and Cruijff...can't remember the eight other players...get rid of all the Friday edition (the edition into wich there was a Dream Team weekly during some time but that was not so « all time » in general, a very few were). That is another possible source.

_____Garrincha 11, Pelé 15, Maradona 14.


Including the votes of the following coaches who are Cappa, Lippi and Maturana, it would be Baresi or Maldini (5) instead of Moore or Baresi (4). And that's all.
In the MFs section it would be +1 for Matthaüs (=2) and Rijkaard (=1). Unsurprinsingly, Falcao, with 3 votes for, leads this group (of all types of mids) followed by Gerson, Tigana and Matthaüs (2). Also, amongst others who are not cited by the players, Zico got finally one vote with Lippi.

(Now, there is Marinho Chagas 11, born in 52, since the count was made but it is not included. He has the same laterals as in the overall team, the same libero plus the Uruguayan Pereyra (SPFC). It makes +1 for Neeskens, Platini, Zico (his midfield) and Jairzinho in gross so that doesn't change anything. Lastly, in attack, yes, he had Pelé and cited Neymar as the LW. Paolo Rossi, as a voter, is not included too since I found his 11 lately. His vote makes Maldini > Baresi, and Zidane and Djalma S. respectively closer to Platini and C.Alberto.

For the explanations of each footballers' choices see the mentionned thread or online sources. Maybe I'll add later the ones I have personally posted on forum's thread.
