[–] lucky_labra 16 years ago

I don't understand how anyone can put Maradona before Pele. Maradona was a stellar player, but he was never Pele, there may never be another Pele. Maradona was close, but not quite.

1. Pele
2. Maradona
3. Ronaldo
4. Beckenbauer
5. Zidane
6. Raul (I just thought I'd put a 6th in there because I think Raul is great)

reply

[–] kausix777 14 years ago

And I don't understand how anyone can put pele (who was only a striker who got excellent help from Didi, Vava, Garrincha, etc and who had to be carried out of the stadium twice) before Maradona (who won a world cup almost single-leggedly and almost another one and who would be stable in spite of brutal treatment from opponents, would be excellent with his body balance and who would MAKE the game).

Pele is not even on my top ten.

Pele (No explaination required)

Maradona (No explaination required)

Zidane (Legendary, an immense talent)

Ronaldo (Before his injury, he was unstoppable. In his one season with Barcelona, he scored 31 league goals in 34 appearances. Then he got injured, and he was never the same player again)

Franz Beckenbauer (Amazing defender, truly outstanding. A rock in defence)

To all of you who posted Beckham as a top 5 player OF ALL TIME: Are you kidding me???

reply

[–] stevenmejia007 18 years ago

I'm not kidding mate, David Beckham is one of the best athletes the world has ever seen, if now he is out of fitness that happens to every player in any sport, just remember Germany '06 England against Ecuador he was really wasted because of that wicked hot weather and anyway he scored a winner freekick from about 35 meters from goal, that's quality. And BTW can you recall a player (not a Man U player) that has won the treble (Premiership, FA Cup, Champions League) in the history of football, Becks played on his top fitness and gave it all to win those 3 trophies, he was heart and soul of that great Man U team on those days.

I hope he gets that Fitness back to help England win that Euro 2008.

and next time talking about a player is talking about his whole career...

what i cant do is like others that maybe post pele or maradona because of his history, i never saw a full time game of any of those players, and i have to see a whole game of those players to really judge them, thats why me favorite All Time Top 5 Players are. 1-Beckham 2-Zidane 3-Henry 4-Gerrard 5-Lampard and next five wannabes Top Players are 6-Rooney 7-C.Ronaldo 8-Ballack 9-Terry 10-Van Nistelroy

reply

[–] CCRider01 18 years ago

1. Pele (One of the few true sports icons with Ali and Jordon)
2. George Best (Before the booz,fame, and woman became his downfall)
3. Garrincha (The little bird that played for pure love of the game)
4. Johan Cryuff (Genius behind Hollands total football machine)
5. Franz Beckenbauer (Pure class on and off the field, plus defined a sweeper)

Greatest Goalie: Gordon Banks (Best save of all time 1970 World Cup vs Brazil)
Greatest Defender: Bobbie Moore (True World class player and person)
Best Free Kick Taker: Riveleno (Power and Curve before the special balls etc)

Most overrated player: David Beckham (Too one dimensional,and image based)

3) George Best (wasted his talent playing for N. Ireland, but his Man U days were magic)
4) Paul Gasgiogne (At one point the greatest player in the world, then he ruined it for himself)
5) Marco Van Basten (that goal for Holland in the finals of the Euro Champs! amazing)

reply

[–] alicante22 18 years ago

cheat or no cheat, the guy was a phenomenon. so if thierry henry falls over when brushed against, and owen goes down in the box when touched, will this be what people remember? no. they will remember the good things that they did, and in maradona, they will always remember that he almost single handedly won the world come in 1986. i mean, can you name another player from the argentina national team that year? me neither...

you are a girl right? thats the only reason why you would choose david beckham 5 times... for his looks. he was a good player in his time, but not exactly in the same league as anyone else on the lists on this thread. sorry.

[–] bexlyspeed 17 years ago

Jorge Valdano, Oscar Ruggieri, Jorge Burruchaga, Jose Luis Brown, but you are 100% right, he won the damn thing on his own, and almost did it again in 1990

reply

[–] kausix777 14 years ago

Me can - Burruchaaga. :-)

Well, mate, I agree - cheat (which he himself claimed, no one could prove) or drugs (no drug can produce a Maradona) - he had a magic about him - excellent balance at that.

reply

[–] kausix777 14 years ago

Every one knows he cheated BECAUSE he said so. Even today, no camera can prove he cheated.
