Recent ones i can think of:
Tudor- you all know how it is...
Denilson (as someone already said) always been a fringe player for brazil but never anything more, has exceptional skill
Riquelme- was in my eyes the next maradona
Veron- after early success has faded dismaly
Djalminha- ever seen this guy play?
Kanu- pre-arsenal was great talent
i'll think of more later

This isnt a DP thread you know, and I dont want it to become one, but I have to agree with Gray, DP hasnt been indispensible for either Juve or Italy. If he wasnt Juve captain, he would of been dropped long ago. Do you really believe that your best strike force is DP and Trez? Or DP and Zlatan? Its unlucky, because it was an injury that ruined his carear, but he's never been the same, and never will.
Why is Matteo Brighti a lost talent?

Actually.. I think DP-Trez is still Juve's best stiking force. In the 01-02 season and lots of the 02-03 they were pretty good together. Last season was terrible beacause they both had lingering injuries, and the team was rotated too many times. This didn't even allow DV and Miccoli to settle in.
But I do agree that DP has been very inconsistant after 98. He also never regained his old form, but he has been important (though not as much as Nedved).

and what about holland? Ok, they won in 1988 but after that the period of the penalty shoot outs came:
1992 (european championship sweden) semi final against denemarken: Van basten missed and we lost 5-4
1996: (european championship england) quarter final against france: seedorf missed and we lost 5-4
1998: (semi finale World Championship france) We lost 4-2 after cocu and ronald de boer missed.
2000 : We were the great favourites after beating yugoslavia 6-1 in the quarterfinals. IN regular time kluivert and frank de boer missed a penalty. In the shoot out only kluivert scored. Frank de boer, Paul Bosvelt and Jaap Stam missed.
ok ok this year we finally won a shoot out against sweden.
