My belief is that he is the best keeper the US has ever produced. Damn shame Liverpool gave up on him as he went on to be a beast for Blackburn and seems to be doing fine at Vila.
Agree
I'm not sure about Mascherano. He seems to be highly-rated for a DM.
.
imo there are still many poeple that dont understand how important his role is. and if i remember correctly, he was not chosen in the shortlist of the top players of the year, which is kind of hard to understand given he is probably the best current defensive mid in football.

I checked the list and that is surprising, especially as there are some crap players on that list. Hi, Pepe!

Underrated players? Daniele De Rossi. He is invaluable to Roma and the Italian NT. He is a complete midfielder: has great defensive abilities and often has to clean up the shoddy work of his defenders, breaks up plays, and makes great tackles. Offensively, he can serve some great balls, has a killer shot and can take set pieces pretty well also.
I feel he often doesnt get as much credit as he deserves...

He is the best two-way midfielder in the world bar none.

Probably because he's in a failing Roma side at the moment.

He did not get the credit he deserved when he was in a relatively successful Roma side that were pushing Inter hard last season.

Very true...
Why does it say "BigSoccer yellowcard" underneath your name BTW?

Until I stop hearing crap like "Liverpool are a two-man team" with reference to Torres and Stevie G, I will continue to consider Mascherano supremely underrated.

Try looking at the best/favorite XI thread. Apparently Mascherano is the best defensive mid on the planet.
Everyone's forgotten about Senna I suppose.

mascherano is definately not underated, he is widely regarded as one of the best DM's. THe DM position as a whole is underated, not the MaSH. An underrated DM would be someone like yaya toure.

When you have been around as long as I have you notice a pattern in the posting of certain members. vancity eagle, for example, is rarely seen but when he is his posts consist of hailing African players and little else. It does get tiring, notably when he refuses to accept the reality of what he does.

Then be better than those people and don't bother responding at all. You're doing nothing but annoying other people, and basically trolling with your one word posts. Just saying.

I'm doing nothing of the sort. If vancity eagle wants to respond to it then I eagerly await his latest 'justification'. If not no harm done. I'm not bothered either way.

do you even know the meaning of underrated ? Underrated are people you don't hear about, not people showing up on most peoples best 11's.

A player can be in every single XI created but still be over/underrated in terms of their ability, influence and standing.
