Can't believe this discussion.... ???hands down 73 squad man!
Yuh know how hard it was to qualify fuh the World Cup before they restructured for the 82 World Cup? There were only 16 places before 82, then 24 and now 32. Concacaf had One place in them days...no if's or but's...it had one place! The gap in quality then was not as wide as now. Suriname, Hati, Mexico, Honduras, El salvador, Guatemala and even Canada had good sides then (the States was shit as the NASL was king and yanks didn't give ah damn bout their national side then) The 73 team came second (in a group of 6 with one-off games between teams...ALL AWAY FROM HOME!) which would have qualified them for any tournament from 82 onwards. Strike squad came 3rd (in a final group of 5 with home and away games) and Socawarriors came 4th (group of 6, home and away matches).
People questioning the Mexico team of 73 they beat Haiti in that tourney and apparently should have won by about 3 or 4 rather than the final 1-0 scoreline. We cut em up 4-0...when they had something to play for!
For yuh Info Haiti's results in 74 were(with fantastic preparation):
Game 1 vs Italy 1-3
Game 2 vs Poland 0-7
Game 3 vs Argentina 1-4
and just so you doh start screaming bout the Poland result...they won the group by beating everyone and finished 3rd beating Brazil along the way. I'm glad for the Socawarriors...real proud but the class of 73 was just that....CLASS!
