Rank them in order. Here are your choices. You can add some and change some too. Argentina: Veron-Crespo-Saviola Brazil: Ronaldinho-Rivaldo-Ronaldo France: Zidane-Trezeguet-Henry England: Beckham-Heskey-Owen Germany: Ballack-Klose-Neuville Turkey: Hasan Sas-Mansiz-Hakan Sukur USA: Reyna-Donovan-Mathis Senegal: Diouf-Fadiga-Camera Spain: Mendieta-Raul-Joaquinn Sweden: Ljunberg-Larrson-Ibrahimovic Holland: Kluivert-Nilsterooy-Hasslebaink italy: DP-Totti-Vieri My ranking: USA: Reyna-Donovan-Mathis Brazil: Ronaldinho-Rivaldo-Ronaldo France: Zidane-Trezeguet-Henry Holland: Kluivert-Nilsterooy-Hasslebaink italy: DP-Totti-Vieri I'm just going to do the top five, which you can do- or else it takes too much time. I'll do the rest later
I wouldn't put the USA trio at #1 quite yet. Two of these guys are still young players, though, and should only improve as they mature. They have already gone further in the important international tournament than Holland, and as far as Italy, so I'll rank them third, behind Brasil and Germany. France still has some holdovers from '98, which keeps them in my top five. Argentina and England have talent as well.
portugal Figo-R.costa-pauleta(when 100%) they werent at the world cup. back up Simao-conceicao-gomes that as good as the USA's first
Did i forget to put Portugal on the list? Oh sorry, it should have been there. I like Portugal and respect both of their first and second strings, especially becasue Conceicao plays for my favorite team Inter. But, if the USA outscored Portugal in the World Cup, then how can I put Portugal ahead of the US. The next time Portugal play the US, if they win, I'll cahnge it. Or else I won't.
ROFL. Are you serious? Better than Brazil, France, Argentina, England, Italy, Portgual, Holland, Turkey, Senegal, Cameroon Nigeria, Sweden, Denmark etc etc etc. USA is a good team, not about outstanding players. The USA trio is not even in the top 15. Diouf Diop Diao are better. Reyna = Southampton Diouf + Diao = Liverpool
does the US going as far as another team mean they have better attackers? hmmm...no? theres no way the 3 US attackers are even close to #1. n although i love holland i dont believe hasselbaink, kluivert, n van nistelrooy ever play together. one i would like to add is cameroon. eto'o, mboma, and idk? theres gotta be sum1 there-lol.
how about peru? i know peruvians never do well in nationals n even if all the 1s i will mention play for the national team bout Pizarro, Solano, n Palacios sounds damn good to me.
Delusional. The USA trio is not and should not be in the top 15. But for you to place them number one on the list is just insane. Ronaldo and Rivaldo by themselves outscored all US trio counted together at J/K.
Brazil's 3Rs and France's trio, when they're at full strength are a cut above the rest, but I give the edge to Brazil. That Ronaldinho dribble that took apart England is still buried in my mind. Germany and Argentina's players are below the two above.
'France: Zidane-Trezeguet-henry' Let's not forget Robert Pires !! When it's at full strenght the French 'quartet' Zidane-Pires-Trezeguet-Henry is at the top. Pires's injury was one of the reason France failed so miserably in the WC.
What's wrong with this picture? Reyna. He's the only one on that entire list that doesn't produce goals. I'd also argue that Wolff is a far better striker than Donovan is, though I expect Donovan to improve a great deal over the next three or four years.
thepremierleague: Obviously I was kidding. But Reyna plays for Sunderland. YOu should know that, your the EPL guy. Benreilly: Ok, if you want it can be Mathis-Donovan-Mcbride, or JOB-Mathis-Dononvan or Beasely-Mathis-Donovan Wolff may be better now, but in 20 years everyone will be talking about how great Donovan was for US, not Wolff, when they talk about this time period.
Mendieta and Joaquin have not played on the field at the same time except for one game. Really Valeron would be have to be included. So, in all due respect, the attacking trio for Spain listed here is completely wrong. You'd either have Raul - Valeron - Tristan or Raul - Valeron - Morientes.
Listentobobmarley: Mathis Donavon Beasley Possibly Mathis JOB Adu You gotta have Donovan in there. Mathis Quaranta Adu Quaranta hasn't played for the US. Adu in 8 years. I guess nobody on bigsoccer knows this yet but Adu is 13. Juanele: You're right. That was stupid of me.
