10 best players youve ever seen play.

[gaffs]

Both were top players. But my point was Fat Ronaldo was the best striker of his generation. Romario was from the previous generation, which Nearco failed to pick up on.

 

[DiaboliQue]

He thinks that Zidane is not good.

Tevez
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cantona
Beckham
Vidic
Tim Cahill
Zola
Maradona
Pele
Roy Keane

Tim Cahill and Nemanja Vidic are two of the greatest players he's ever seen

He is not a good player. Cheating scums are never good players even though they have skill

Tim Cahill is great but apparently Rivaldo is shite.

Never rated him since his headbutt. fecking disgrace.

...(speachless)...

The best players should not only have skill, but be a good role model. That is what football is about.

Nope, this is not what football is all about.


This forum could use more insightful and intelligent posters like hycool.

In terms of who I have seen live and what I have seen them do in the flesh.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo
2. Messi
3. Ronaldo (only saw him play once live. He got a standing ovation.)
4. Paul Scholes
5. Ryan Giggs

8. Andreas Iniesta
9. Kaka
10. Henry

There is obviously some bias towards United players as I’ve seen them 100s of times. Players like Xavi and Messi I have seen a dozen or so times and were just phenomenal.
