My friends and I are in a heated battle of who the best player in the world is, who do you think it is?
Zidane is the best player that is still active. However, although today he's still one of the best, I think Ronaldinho is the best. Raul and Nedved are close.
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllll Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddddddd
If you are going to list Beckham then you have to list Owen. Owen has recently won Euro player of the year and is one of the most lethal strikers in the world. Either way I say Ronaldo, but I digress.
Zidane. He may not get all the goals, but what he does is infinitely more important, he can set the pace of an entire match. And, he does it beautifully.
Robocop The Czech Cannon The Czech Rocket the one the only pavel nedved. juve would have won the CL last year if he was not so cruely suspended. your list is missing many names
If you're asking who has been playing the best football at this, the beginning of the season I would name: Beckham (Real) - has been playing well at Real, scoring and assisting. Del Piero (Juventus) - the best player on the pitch versus Wales and for Juventus in the early rounds of Serie A. Looking back to the form of the player of 96. Adriano (Parma) - Has looked like one of the best players in the world in his last few games. Scoring great goals with his left foot. Who's been playing particularly well in England? Holland? France? Germany? Brazil? etc. . .
Pavel is great and I think gets my vote. With regards to Raul he is also great. But to say that a team with Zidane, Beckham, Figo, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos (amongst others) and that only one player IS Real Madrid is funny. No one player IS Real Madrid even if he is arguably the best player on the team.
Well, this is what I mean. When I think of the other players you mentioned, this is what I think. Zidane: France and his bald spot Beckham: England and Manchester Figo: Portugal and Barcelona Ronaldo: Brazil and the Inter flop Roberto Carlos: Brazil and his weak ass defending. Raul is the only one that instantly brings on the image of Real Madrid when his name is mentioned (some would argue the Spanish NT too). See what I mean? Raul IS Real Madrid.
