Reactions Users sound off on CNN/World Soccer Top 10Posted: Monday March 17, 2003 4:53 PMUpdated: Monday July 07, 2003 1:59 PM CNN and World Soccer magazine release their votes each Monday for the Top 10 football clubs worldwide, and we want to know your opinion. Below is a selection of some of the best feedback from the last week. Check back next week to see the response to this week's Top 10.
The teams which are on top of the table AC Milan and Juventus should not deserve it as they were the finalist of the Champions League where as Boca Juniors have won the Copa Libertadores Cup recently. You should rank the club by their recent achievements not by the achievement they have won about a month ago.
The chart is one of the best of its kind, but I hope there can be more voters for african sides like Zamalek and Kaizer Chiefs.
Manchester United don't deserve to be in the top 5. The only thing they won this season was the Premier League. Boca Juniors ended as second in Argentina and they won the Copa Libertadores. They should be on the fourth or fifth place.
Bayern Munich, without a doubt, deserves to be on this list. Sure, they were dumped out of the Champions League early. But coming from a group that contained the eventual champions and the always great Deportivo, that isn't saying much. They destroyed the Bundesliga this past season and will be on a rampage through the Champions League next year. However, Ajax does deserve to be on this list. Especially over teams like Porto, the masters of the dive, and Real Sociedad.
AC Milan won the Italian Cup, the European Champions Cup, and we are in the final for the Intercontinental Cup,in the final of the UEFA Super Cup as well as in the final of the Italian Super Cup... We deserve the top spot! Others teams on top like Porto?!?!? With only three major teams in the league? Give me a break!!!!
It never ceases to amaze me the idiotic reactions to the weekly Soccer Top 10. In general it is we Americans who demonstrate our utter ignorance of the game when we resort to bashing a team or league in a region, which more than likely we have never visited. I have been fortunate enough to travel throughout Europe and Latin America and can confirm that the beating heart of soccer is alive and well in both regions. Boca Juniors rightfully deserve to be in the Top 10 after dismantling Santos in Brazil 3 to 1. For all those who do not think South American soccer can compete with Europe, remember back to the Intercontinental Cup of 2000 when Boca beat the vaunted Real Madrid squad of Roberto Carlos, Raśl and Luis Figo 2 to 1.
How is the Dallas Burn not # 1? European soccer sucks! Go Burn!
I think Ajax Amsterdam has to have a position in the top 10. Because they are one of the youngest teams with am age average of 21 years all over the world and they managed to get into the quarterfinals of the Champions League, losing in the last second of the game to AC Milan who later on won the Cup with the big ears. Next year they will be back and we will be the best club in the world. Ok. Now that is over. The fifth Libertadores is ours. Would you place Boca Jrs. where it deserves to be?
It is so obvious that the greatest club team in the world wears white and are called Real Madrid. Hence they should be sitting pretty at the top of the CNN/World Soccer Top 10 and with the arrival of Beckham they are very close to becoming the perfect "SUPERTEAM". The last ingredient in this mixture of stars should be Lucio (Bayer Leverkusen) or Christian Chivu(Ajax)
