    Thanks for saying it. It is pretty clear after seeing the results of the voting that it was done in Brazil.

    And also Guerrero + Pato wasn't performing exactly a duo.

    Mostly, one is the starter and the other subbed in the 2nd half :)

    exactly ... Pato + Guerrero? ahem

    Any way (agree with Misioux) most of those names were NOT a pair ...

    Since WC2006, most teams played either 4 2 3 1 or 4 3 3 and these formation consist of 1 center forward (hence NO PAIR in a sense)

    True pair is in 2 3 3 2 , 4 4 2, 4 3 1 2, 4 4 1 1 , 3 5 2 ...

    Guerrero the Hamburg flop + Pato the Milan flop.

    They flopped in Europe yet are great in the mediocre Brazilian league so they are the best. :thumbsup:

    He was their best players for many seasons with Van der Vaart. The fact that he had dozens of injuries and played as a playmaker instead of a striker influenced.

    Correction:
    Kocsis + Puskas were MUCH better
    Romario + Ronaldo (scored 6goals in confed final) > Romario + Stoitchkov (scored 0goals in 0-4 lost UCL)

    They are NOT duo... actually they compete with each other in same team: for being whois most important man of Bayern !
    Last year 2012 final game, Ribbery punched into Robben face for his "bad language" against Ribbery - They both operate on each flank, and always separated by 1 or 2 men in between

    Well check again your fact

    Kocsis and Kubala played togetehr at Barca for like 2,3 seasons (59-61) during their worst form
    They both produced <20goals together a season = hardly a great performance

    Well I didn't mean their relationship. Is this thread about relationship, lol?
    I mean how they are combine to each other. I don't see any other better couple in Europe. Btw last year isn't this year, at the CL final both of them were responsible for both goals. Let's see how Messi +Neymar are.

    I got that ...
    However a DUO meant two players playing CLOSE in SYNC, and often SIDE by SIDE
    Ribbery and Robben were neitehr cases

    For example:
    Like Di Stefano (#9) and Puskas (#10) in middle attack of the Real team 2 3 5
    Like Yorke and Cole as two front men of ManU 4 4 2

    51 goals in 117 games at Milan is a flop? LOL

    He has 63 in 150 matches for Milan (you only quote his Serie A goals). Obviously "flop" is too much said, and obviously Pato has nothing to do with anything "best in the world" whatever.
