The Netherlands in the 70s was known as "Mechanical Orange" and is considered one of the best teams in history, although they didn´t win any title.

From my point of view, it was a team that changed the way football was played because they had some ideas that were new at that time, such as the whole team defending and attacking at the same time. Their best players were Johan Cruyff and Neeskens, who led the team to two World Cup finals.

Currently, the Netherlands is in the quarterfinals of  the World Cup in Qatar, they have a very good team and an exprienced coach.

 Beckenbauer is considered one of the best centre back in history, because he revolutionized the position of centre back. He is the only centre back with two Ballon d´Ors, as well as winning three Champions League in a row and a World Cup.

For me this player was very important in history because although his position on the field was defense, during the game he occupied other positions. His rival during the 70s was Johan Cruyff, who for me is a better player.

Currently there are few who have maintained a level similar to him, the most similar would be Puyol abd Sergio Ramos.

 This is the most atypical World Cup in history because it is played in winter. It was something very surprising for everyone that a World Cup could be played during winter.

The group stage of this World Cup has been the best I´ve ever seen because there have been surprises such as the eliminations of Germany, Belgium and Uruguay against teams much inferior to them.

I think it will be a well-remembered World Cup because it will be the last for Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and both of them have a good chance of winning it. Spain is one of the favourites, although they have lost against Japan, I hope they will change in they round of 16.

The final that I would like to see in this World Cup would be Spain-Argentina.

 Higuita was an important goalkeeper in the 90s and changed football for ever. His style of play seems very new to me for that time, in which the goalkeepers didn´t play with their feet or leave the area.

I was surprised to learm that FIFA changed one of its rules for Higuita, since after that change the goalkeeper can´t catch the ball that comes from a teammate. His most famous move was the "scorpion" it was a very different move that hadn´been done before and I think it´s a very difficult save to make.

He retired in 2009 and is currently a goalkeeping coach in the United Arab Emirates. I would like to see a goalkeeper who plays the same as him in current football.

 For me Ronaldo Nazario is the best striker in history. He was in the two most important teams in Spain but in my opinion the best season of his entire career was the year he was at Barça. I think it was his best year because it was when he stood out internationally, winning three titles and the best player award chosen by FIFA.

He is one of the few players in history who has won two World Cups. Before the final of the 1998 World cup in France he suffered an epileptic seizure, he was able to play in the final but he wasn´t the same.

From my point of view, if he hadn´t had so many injuries, he would be in the debate for the greaest player of all times.

Pelé is considered one of the best players in history. People who say he is the best in history are based on the fact that he is the only player in history to win there World Cups.

From my point of view ,he´s not the best because he played football that was very different from today´s and the World Cup didn´t  have as many phases as it does now. Until a few years ago he held one of the records that seemed impossible to break, being the player who had scored the most goals with the same club. Another record that could be broken in the next World Cup will be that of  Brazil´s top scorer, which could be surpassed by Neymar.

I would have liked to see him play in today´s football.

Maldini is a football legend, I think he is one of the best centre back in history. He has one of the most succesful careers, he has achieved seven Italian leagues and five Champions League but has not managed to be world champion.

What I admire the most about his career is his longevity, as he spent twenty four years with AC Milan and fourteen with the Italian national team. I believe that currently there is no player like him because it is very rare for a player to spend so many years in the same team.

He currently works as sports director at AC Milan, where he is doing a very good job.
