87OVR
López's 1950 Uruguay. Varela as the captain who refused the noise, Schiaffino as the brain, Ghiggia as the last word in the Maracanã.
Juan Alberto Schiaffino (90) is the headline. Obdulio Varela sits behind that in the ratings, which is not the same as who actually ran the dressing room.
What they actually did that year: FIFA World Cup winners — the Maracanazo. Also on the list: Ghiggia in front of 200,000 in Rio.

How this XI is built
Possession sits at 52, not a religion. Counter-attack 80: the point is the break, not the concert. Attack 90 is the loud number.
