Sacchi's yea, Capello's less so, even through Capello never needed massive bottlejob to win the title in a better league at the time like Cruyff needed thrice.

England and Real Madrid PR together if that happens, world isn't ready for this.

Don't get me wrong Cruyff did brilliant things for Barcelona, even if he only won 1 La Liga title, but it rubs me the wrong way when people say it is one of greatest teams of all time, when it wasn't even best during its era - Milan under Sacchi and Capello was.
Don't disagree, just it's weird that it is often talked about as one of greatest teams in history, when they weren't even best of their era(Sacchi and Capello's Milan).
Cruyff's Barcelona might be luckiest team in history, 3 of their 4 La Liga titles are due to massive bottlejobs of rivals on a final day, twice Madrid lost to Tenerife and once Deportivo missed late penalty which would've made them Spanish champions. I guess their luck finally run out when they got battered by Milan 4:0 in UCL final, after which "dream team" won nothing.
People are really mad because goal was disallowed for wrong reason. Like it is a dumb mistake, but it doesn't really matter as it would be disallowed anyways. Better than letting goal stand.
