Most overrated team,player,national team,league? biggest over and under achievers?

[Juvenile Junkie]

Your thoughts??

Overrated team............Bayern Munich. Barcelona's B team could top the Bundesliga.

[Tommy Thunder]

Some overrated players that spring to mind:

Asmir Begovic. Good GK, but IMO, Sorensen is better.
Adel Taarbat. Yes, he was awesome in the Championship last year, but in the PL this year, he's barely noticeable.
Andy Carroll. Never going to be a top class striker, and NEVER going to live up to being a £35 million player! With Heskey's retirement from international football, Carroll will be a perfect replacement for England.

I'll be back with more when I think of them.

[Steve Austin]

Teams- Tottenham, Inter Milan.

Players - Ashley Cole, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, Frank Lampard, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gonzalo Higuain, Karim Benzema, Carlos Puyol, Iker Casillas, Victor Valdes, Theo Walcott, Bacary Sagna, Phillip Lahm, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Fabio Coentrao, Pepe, Pato, Julio Cesar, Neymar (He's still got plenty of time)

Overrated Sports League that all of us from rugby playing countries can agree on:

AMERICAN FOOTBALL!!!

helmets,padding,players who only do 1 thing,breaks after each play,my word imagine if Manu Tuilagi only came on the field when England are defending in their own 22........................he'd have enough time to go for a swim!!!!

I thought this was based on current football, not historic?! That's why I went for Italy, same for Argentina!
