#9 France (1998-2000)
The legendary Zidane proved his class when he masterminded France’s 1998 World Cup triumph and the 2000 Euros triumph. The team was filled with classy players all around with the likes of Vieira, Henry, Thurram and Blanc combining superbly to dominate teams all across Europe and the World.
They beat a wonderful Brazil side in the 1998 World Cup finals and put in a commanding display in the 2000 Euros. French manager Aimi Jacquet unleashed a tactical revolution in 1998 when he started playing without wingers.
The ball was played up to the target man and the main source of goals and creativity came from the wonderful attacking midfield led by the legendary Zidane. They also had a wonderfully solid defence, with players like Blanch and Thurram shutting out opposition attackers.
This France team is considered by many to be one of the greatest squads of all time.
