It is certainly a tough call to select my all-time Greatest World Cup XI.

When you look at the formidable attacking talent throughout the generations, it is ridiculous to set the team up in a formation. You would just tell the attacking six to go out and play. This would be total football.

Neither of the two Ronnies, Cristiano and the original Ronaldo, the fabulous Brazilian goalscorer, make my attacking six which shows how difficult it has been.
