After my comment about Henry in the other thread, I was inspired to make this thread as a matter of fact. In my lifetime, I will have to go for this man.

Love that goal against the Czechs. Platini for me though, just.

The balls on Baggio taking that penalty against Chile in France '98 man.

Likewise... Baggio was class but Platini for me was a level above.

Van Basten wouldn't be far off no. 1 either.

 

Or Gullitt or Rickard - what a set of players the dutch had then - pity they couldn't make a team out of them all (they reckon that boy Cruyff was handy an all)

They did win the European Championships in '88 :lol:

Quite true mate - I just think they are synonomous with the team implosions of the world cups during the 80's and 90's when thay could and probably should have won one with the players they had - the rickard voller incident sums it up for me(hilarious as it was) wasted opportunities

I actually think, as much as anything, they'd peaked and weren't the side they'd been two years earlier. Still a very good side who could have won the World Cup though. They never qualified for a World Cup in the 80s iirc.

Zidane, Matthaus and Gullit are head and shoulders above the rest of the European players I've seen in my life time. In my opinion they are the best players that have played for their countries, better than Platini who was a genious himself, and better than Cruyff who clearly was sensational. Matthaus and Gullit could play everywhere, and look world class where ever they were, they never ever, ever lost the ball, the ball was like their wife, except they didn't divorce it. Zidane, well I don't think there's ever been a more graceful player ever, not saying he was better than Maradona, but when he played it was like he was dancing with the style he had. Zidane I'd go for.

My favourite is Hagi. Not necessarily the best but I used to love watching him play.

There's a load of players like that for me in Europe over the last 25 years. Stoichkov is another one, Futre, Luis Enrique, Detari, Scifo etc....

Always used to love Guardiola.

Recoba.

Buffon.

Nedved.

 

 

(I haven't seen that many)

Tell me you're whooshing me? :lol:

 

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. :(
