It's a strong eleven but not as good as Brazils or Spains in my opinion. Not to sound arrogant but other than those two I think we could beat anybody else on our day. I think we'll get to the semi's but thats it.
I don't question that. I am just saying he is way overrated by many and I could easily pick 10 players better than him. He is not top 10 in the world.
When you say he is top 5 but there are many better than him, then you are overating him and that's why I meant when people/media overate Ribery.
The figure thrown for him is just too much and is a price of a first tier list of stars (Kaka, Ronaldo, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi)
I do think he is in the seconds tier with the likes of Torres, Rooney, Fabregas, sneijder and etc.
Come on, don't be biased and judge Kaka on this season alone. Talent wise Kaka is miles ahead of Ribery and most of the players around. Kaka proved his worth on the biggest stages. Kaka is step ahead of all but Messi , Ronaldo, Xavi and Iniesta, if it wasn't for his recent injuries then he is top 3
First of all, let's not just based our opinion on that season alone. I am shocked to see that you disagree on Xavi and Essien. Those 2 are the best in the business when it comes to CM.
@ Nick 19: Don't judge him based on his England performance or this current season with Liverpool. Gerrard has been performing at a top level for some time even though he is a big cunt
