Tom 13919 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Recoba.Buffon. Nedved. (I haven't seen that many) Tell me you're whooshing me? I'd have said the same about Buffon... one of the most over-rated keepers I've ever seen. More the fact that Recoba is South American. That was my point. I misinterpreted as, seen in European competition. Yeah, yeah. John Anderson moment more like No certainly a misinterpretation. Having seen Buffon & Nedved at the home match against Juventus, which we won 1-0. And having seen Recoba at the home match against Inter Milan.

Loved the Ajax team that won the European Cup in 1971, 72 and 73. Told my mate that Holland would win the World Cup before the tournament started, I never put a bet on because I've never been a betting man, but he took no notice. Best nearly prediction I ever made. He was kicking himself as the tournament went on and they shocked everybody, but I don't understand why hardly anybody thought they had a chance. They were the best team in the tournament but just lost the Final. They also lost in 1978 against Argentina, Rensenbrink hitting the post in the last seconds before extra time. Weren't as good without Cryuff but came closer to winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelie 103 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Alrredo di Stefano. I know, I know, he was born in Argentina but his parents were Italians and he achieved greatness in Europe while playing for Real Madrid and Spain. Never seen anyone better.

Sima 0 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 As much as I love Stoichkov and Nedved it has to be Zidane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_cann 0 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Zidane for me, mainly due to his performances in Euro finals, World Cup final and the wonder goal in the Champions League final. All the talent in the world and the major honours to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevie Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) I`d say Dalglish or Mattheus or Zidane are the best I`ve seen. Dalglish was a class footballer no one disputes that, but the other two, who I have put first and second, were the leading men and fundamental reasons their countries won World Cups. No disrespect to anyone on this thread, but some of the names that have been mentioned in front of Zidane and Matthaus, are utterly staggering. Maybe a lot of people are put off by the fact Zidane is so recent, but it would be interesting to know if Baggio rates himself as being better than Zidane. As for Matthaus, still playing for Germany at 40, adn still tehir best player, albeit in a shit side. Zidane lit the 1998 World Cup Final up, and Matthaus was simply unplayable for the majority of the 1990 World Cup, a 5-1 against Yugoslavia stands out. True proven World class and World Cup winners.

Class player. Serbia/Croatia/Yugoslavia were so blessed late 80s early 90s. Fuck knows how England did them 4-1 in Belgrade. Savicevic was world class, there was the emerging Prosinecki, Katanec, Pancev and Suker, Boban was world class, a long with Mihailovic, and Dragan Stoijkovic.
