Just for his 'face like a welder's bench' looks??

I'm no pundit, but mine are (with reasons):

1. George Best (drinking like a shite and still being amazing)
2. Gary Lineker (never picked up a yellow card - rather impressive)
3. Roy Keane (too many defensive midfielders get looked over, and this one did rule the middle of the park)
4. Jose Chilavert (for comedy goalkeeper free kick and other antics value)
5. Teddy Sheringham (purely for playing decent football until he was 42)

And if you haven't already seen the Chilavert fun, it's worth a giggle, I couldn't get the embedded video to work, but click the link and watch the first vid:

1. Maradona






2. Zinadine Zidane
3. Ronaldo (striker)
4. Lothar Matthaus

[Vasconcelos]

Those that I watched playing:

- Zinegod Zidane

- Ronaldo R9

- Maradona

- Van Basten

- Casillas (ye, ye I know hes a goalie, but man, some of his perfomances just keep me speechless)

Those that still play at the time being:

- Casillas

- Messi

- Gerard

- Kaka

- not decided between Agüero, Cristiano, Fabregas, and some others... I dont rate Cristiano very much, too much diving and useless feints to my taste.

Ronaldo (bra)

Messi

Zidane

Nice to watch, but he does sometimes over elaborate (C.Ronaldo does the same ofc, but he's in no way as good at Ronaldo for the rightstep back kick, that was was shit in the vid). So many of those moves didn't end up in a goal because he pissed about, that back kick for example in the Palermo game, he should have turned on the left and shot, instead he tried some fancy ass move that was an easy keeper save - score you twat, that's your job.

Also, erm, those goals were against some poor ass defensive mistakes for the most part as they watch the player and not the ball - I also couldn't believe the video trying to pay homage to him showed him get a small clip in the leg and he dragged it like a mofo, shock horror in the italian game style of simulation (though I admit it's rife everywhere).

Nice skills none the less, amazing what some people can do with a football imo.

That said, Ibrahimovic tits about too much on occasion, especially as he has the ability to draw defenders when he goes wide and lets others get into the box. Instead of beating them and getting that ball in he continues to showboat and loses the ball 90% of the time or comes inside and is faced by a wall of defenders tracking back knowing he's dangerous. Talented maybe, but not a very flexible attacker imo. He'd get ass-kicked in the premiership where defenders aren't so lazy.

We have the best domestic league in the world, we don't have to follow the others.

Lol only j/k - I like to keep up on european football, but Serie A is so corrupt it's unbelievable. Clubs still get massive 'anonymous donations from benefactors' every summer.....Mafia *cough* Mafia.
