So instead of a normal Ballon d'Or the magazine France Football decided to make a Ballon d'Or dream team....
I've opened a new thread here because in the end it doesn't fit neatly in already existing categories. It aren't necessarily one of the best...
Since the Ballon d'Or nominations have come out: Sadio Mane, Sergio Aguero, Dusan Tadic, Hugo Lloris, Frenkie de Jong, Pierre-Emerick...
"This week at The Independent we have been counting down through the 100 greatest players of the 21st century. We asked ten of our football...
For fun I'll post here the team of the weeks by Voetbal International. Of course it shouldn't be taken too literal and if they are torn between a...
Maybe interesting to discuss are the players who go against the stereotype of the country or region. Preferably good players of course ('bad'...
[IMG] Coinciding with the African Cup of Nations they published their thirty best African players in history. The interesting part is the African...
The below is taken from the Voetbal International guide for the upcoming World Cup. It does not conclusively show players are good or bad, and of...
I had already posted the list with names here but since I like most descriptions, and in many ways that's more important than the exact order,...
Inspired by the comments I made here (also correcting and adding myself, i.e. Valentino Mazzola), I thought it might be an interesting subject and...
I was wondering about this and eventually I thought it would fit best to just open a new thread. The question is an easy one, although actually...
There are now a few 'great players' lists from the 1980s and beyond available. To see how they were rated against their own contemporaries and the...
Suddenly this one popped up in my mind. I saw it isn't mentioned on RSSSF or somewhere else on the internet so not everyone might know about this....
This thread will take some more time. For clarity: me - and many others - don't like half seasons. Therefore a 'decade' means in this case the...
To me one of the biggest oddities and mysteries of this year, if not the biggest oddity. "Although no financial details of the deal were...
I think we can all agree that Ronaldo and Zidane dominated the headlines and discussions between roughly 1995 and 2005. The first ten years after...
I open this thread because there wasn't one yet, and because DBScalcio has some flaws to put it mildly. It is also interesting to see where...
I saw he hasn't a thread yet. Wing-back, fullback and sweeper. One of the players who is always a candidate for an all-time XI. Missed the...
[img] Sadly, I don't have the one for 1978, which has Keegan, Platini, Cruijff and Rivelino on the cover. [img] Mirror Football was always...
Myself and Tom Stevens arrived at the interesting subject of (potential) top three years, without the teams of the players being close or near...
Just to take earlier comments and possible future comments to here: For making visible the quotes within the comments, one has to click the...
In 2003 UEFA renamed their own publication into 'Champions Magazine'. Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of UEFA, and the the (in)famous...
The World Cup players have been much discussed, let's gather some thoughts about the european championship players of the tournament. 1968: For...
One of the reasons I open this thread is because I know relatively nothing about baseball, other than the basics. After seeing the movie and...
Inspired by this: Yes, I think it is an explosive subject. Very likely you have seen the Castrol/FIFA ratings previously with 9.80 for Maradona...
