What are your top 10 best footballers? (1 Viewer)

[Desmond]

Pele
Maradona
Cruyff
Baggio
Platini
Eusebio
Beckenbauer
Zidane
Van Basten
Di Stefano

In no particular order.Muller, Di Stefano, Gullit, Zico and Maldini would have been next in line.

Btw IMO Zidane is too often excluded in such lists because of the fact that he's still playing, looking at most of the players on the lists I must say Zidane is up there with the rest of them and indeed his technique was something else, even amongst these greats.

Why would i choose pele ?

 

[Débora_BR]

Why?!

You chose Zico and Jairzinho! And Pelé is FAR a better player than them. I don't like Pelé very much, like my avatar show, I am Zico fan... But, Pelé is better than him... Even Zico talk with Pelé if he was the "King" of Football.

Pelé score more goals than Zico, won more trophy than Zico (include 3 World Cups).

The only thing Zico "win", is he was the responsable for Flamengo become the largest supported team in brazil. Flamengo is the Brazilian number 1 team, and Santos is only the 6-7.

Please, tell me, you are joking, right?

10 - Baggio

So are you actually gonna give a worthwhile reason ?

Why?!

Yes... Why ? ... Still waiting for an answer that means something...

You chose Zico and Jairzinho! And Pelé is FAR a better player than them.

In your opinion... Thats merely your opinion not a reason

Even Zico talk with Pelé if he was the "King" of Football.

And that proves what exactly... Zico liked pele as a player... big deal... again not proof jus someones opinion...

Pelé score more goals than Zico, won more trophy than Zico (include 3 World Cups).

Completely irrelevant... On the first point they played different roles... Number of goals scored doesnt mean better player anyway...

He won more trophies... so what, that has nothing to do with the quality of the player... It is a team game you know...

The only thing Zico "win", is he was the responsable for Flamengo become the largest supported team in brazil. Flamengo is the Brazilian number 1 team, and Santos is only the 6-7.

Again... completely irrelevant

Please, tell me, you are joking, right?

No not at all.... Again i ask... Give a real and relevant reason why i should have picked Pele ??

Drogba? No, my list was ten guys who failed to impress during their short Juventus careers.

I couldn't make the connection excepot for all being players below average IMO.

 

[The Pado]

OK, you thought it was a random bunch of suckers. There was a method to my madness.

 

[JCK]

I know you have style

Hey, Guzman never had a chance in Juve, so he never had a carrer to waste... he shouldn't be in your list...

What did Jairzinho and Zico made that Pelé didn't? Especialy Jairzinho. Pelé was the number 10, the magical man of the team who won in México in 70. Jairzinho was a important player of course, but not better than Pelé.

Pelé with Santos won everything possible. He played againts the strongest team in Brazil, South America and Europe. BTW, many times Santos won of Benfica of Eusébio.

Pelé won 3 times the World Cup. He couldn't played in 62-66 very much, because he was injury, mas in 58-70. He was the star. And Zico, for exemple (saddly) didnt won the World Cup.

I honestly think he culd won in 78, but Argentina bought that WC...

In 82 he was the star of one of the greast team ever, and he failed. When Brazil needed of Zico, against France, in 86, he failed again. Pelé, othewise, never failed. Always did his best, and when he was 100%, he bring to us 2 World Cups.

Pelé is the best Brazilian Player of the all times. Even those who doesnt like Pelé (like I do) say that. So, IMO, if you dont pick Pelé, than you cant pick Zico, Falcão, Rivelino, Garrincha, Jairzinho, Nilton Santos... (and the continious... ).

I said a lot of reasson to pick Pelé, but you never gave to me any reasson to not do that...

BTW, despite the position of Zico, he always scored a lot of Goals. He scorer with Flamengo more than 500 goals...
