In Euro 2004 he was the best player, I don't know what you're saying.
Lille outplayed Manchester, weak direct opponent i'm sure.
A weak Brazil? You're saying Brazil at the World Cup was better, they struggled against Ghana lucky the refs picked favourites again.
Why are we talking about Euro 2004 when I thought we were talking about this season? :wth: Not directed at you, MDJ17 -- just wondering why this is bring brought up at all for any relevance.
The kid was 19 years old at Euro 2004, and that was three years ago.
Sheesh. We should be talking about Bobo Vieri for that matter if we're going to dredge up irrelevant things from the past. Ronaldino has had an utterly under-achieving (for his standards) 2006-7 in my book, and I wouldn't lavish the Pallon d'Or on him. Or even Shevchenko for that matter.
Most players have good years and not-so-good years. So why does this discussion keep turning back to this greatest-of-all-time thinking? We're not trying to compare the guy to Alfredo Di Stefano or something here.
