I was watching some all-time XI’s by former footballers and analysists and was asking to myself: “Did football start in the 90’s for these people?”

I understand that people will always be biased towards the players that they got to experience and have an attachment to, but do you think that players from the old era like Eusebio, Rivera, Meazza, Di Stefano, Etc… are underrated compared to modern legends?

    The reverse is way more common. You see people confidently placing players like Yashin and Di Stefano in their All-Time XI despite having never watched them play.

    Not that they’re necessarily wrong, but they just go with “Oh, they’re older so they must be better”.
