Bergkamp has to be in it. Did Del-Piero do much in the 98 world cup?
Ladic was probably the best keeper in the tournament.
Suker was better than Ronaldo
Boban over Veron
Beckham? You can't be serious

Not basing it on the actual world cup performances just ability/level at the time. Otherwise Suker gets in.

Aah I see. Well, Bergkamp should still walk into that team.
Beckham's inclusion is a surprise tbh. Maybe Figo?

Only Cole and Sheringham scored more for club that season and he was superb for England. Coming 2nd in WOPTY the next season.

Nah, Bergkamp would be well down on that list of strikers. Portugal didn't qualify.
I'd take that entire France side as is. Only thing I'd change would be bringing Suker in to play beside Djorkaeff.

So it's based on the best players in the world, but not any that didn't qualify?

Veron ffs!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do some people have no knowledge of football outside of the PL?
1997-2002 Veron was one of the best in the World in his position. Didn't work for him in England but a glorious footballer to watch in his pomp. Pirlo-esque but with a bit more bite.

You mention the point about Beckham being 2nd in WPOTY the next year, yet Bergkamp was ranked as the 3rd best player in the world at the time of the World Cup (based on the last award held at the end of 1997), yet he's considered wee down the list?
I appreciate it's hard to fit everyone in, and I'm not saying he should be a shoe in, but seems a little unfair to say he'd be 'well down' on the list of striker when he was in the All-Star team, was ranked third best in the world at the time, had the most assists at the tournament, and had one EPL Footballer and Player of the year in the season just finished. .

It's just his opinion that Bergkamp's not in the first XI though. Put your own forward rather than tell him he's wrong. I'd have Bergkamp in, personally, and it's hard to justify leaving out Petit and Desailly
I’d argue Football Italia was in its zenith the World Cup before, that was at its biggest in the early to mid nineties
Veron was not utter crap at Chelsea, he was actually pretty decent and one of the most talented players I’ve seen at the club. A lot of off the field issues are what ended his time with us.
