All-'80s Soccer Team

I've started posting, and I'm going to continue posting. But I wrote these about a month ago just to be sure. As for the previous teams, here's one for the '50s, one for the '60s, and one for the '70s.

EIGHTIES

Formation: 5-3-2

GK #1 Ravelli
Thomas Ravelli played keeper for Sweden 143 times in an international career that included clutch penalty saves at the '94 World Cup. Reportedly, he's an odd fellow, but his skill got him on the IFFHS's 20th-century top 20 keepers.

RB #17 Rijkaard
Frank Rijkaard played defender and midfielder at Ajax before moving to full-time midfielder at Milan. He played a key role in Milan's late '80s run and was essential in the Netherlands' Euro 88 victory, but got nasty at a nasty 1990 World Cup.

DF #2 Baresi
Franco Baresi is a favorite among Milan fans, having played all 20 seasons of his career in red and black. Great on defense and giving attack support as well, this Italian was the best sweeper in his prime and captain of two European Cup winners.

CB #6 Passarella
Daniel Passarella was a natural leader, and at 25, he was the captain of Argentina's first World Cup-winning team in '78. He did much more than a typical defender's share of attacking and scoring.

DF #5 Scirea
Before Baresi, Gaetano Scirea was Italy's sweeper. He collected all kinds of hardware with Juventus, and he helped his country win the World Cup in '82. And he left this world too soon.

LB #3 Brehme
Andreas Brehme had roles for each of his feet: penalties for the right, set pieces for the left. He was really good at both. The West German helped his club teams to win titles and cups, and he scored the winning goal in a World Cup with no winners.

MF #10 Maradona
The man, the myth, Diego Maradona. In the same match of the '86 World Cup came his most notorious goal ever and his most spectacular goal ever. His career's also a dichotomy, one of glory and controversy. Though 5'5", he was larger than life.

MF #8 Zico
Zico has a reputation as a playmaker and free-kicker. Whether scoring or making an assist, he played a big part on the Brazilian team and on his clubs. In '81, he brought Flamengo to victory in the Copa Libertadores and the Toyota Cup.

MF #9 Platini
Michel Platini lifted the French team to where they needed to be to win Euro 84. His free-kicking and passing were terrific, and he could score, all right. He was great for both France and Juventus, and he retired near the top of his game.

FW #11 Rummenigge
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was West Germany's best striker of the late '70s and '80s. In his first two years with Bayern Munich, the club maintained its hold on the European Cup, and he served up the corner for Horst Hrubesch to win Euro 80.

FW #12 Van Basten
Marco van Basten had a goal-filled, albeit abbreviated, career for Ajax, for Milan, and for the Netherlands. His goals in the '88 European Championship exemplify his brilliance, including the volley that won it for his country.

Substitutes
FW #14 Paolo Rossi
FW #16 Roger Milla
FW #19 Hugo Sanchez
MF #18 Lothar Matthaus
MF #4 Ruud Gullit

Note: Matthaus nearly got a starting spot instead of Scirea, but I can't do 4-4-2; that formation didn't become the standard until the '90s! Also, are Baresi and Scirea both going to be sweepers? There can't be two sweepers, so what do these two do?

And what do I post here once I've gotten all of these teams up?
