I know Franz Beckenbauer is the most famous for being good at both defense and offense. Who are some other players that were like him?

Roberto Carlos(Brazil)- one of the all-time best free kick takers.

Jamie Carragher is what English footballers are all about.Tough,skillfull and loyal.Give me a Carragher any time as well as a Gerrard and a Lampard and a Terry.England are going to win the world cup because of players like these.

I got an easy solution for you...\nJust Check it out for yourself!\nThe Brazilians video is off the chain!\n\nI also like Ronaldiho's moves.He admited that playing indoor futbol in Brazil,got him to be so good at moves.Henry is the best in the world at making a move then suddently shooting and scoring.

Bill Walsh - the 49ers had a very entertaining style of play.

Pound for Pound, I would have to say Allen Iverson. He is an amazing player for his size and he has great heart. He has a "Never say die" attitude that makes him a competitor. He isn't even six foot tall, and yet he still averages over 30 points a game in a leage that the average height is more around 6'5". He is an all around, truly amazing player. Not to mention my idol!

Lidstrom is the best, but Chris Chelios is in the same class with him.  The Red Wings are fortunate to have two great defensemen like those two.  Both are locks for the Hall of Fame when they finally hang 'em up.\n\nBobby Orr was a great player on a great Bruins team, but he was an offensive defenseman.  I was a hockey fan (Red Wings of course) in the years when Orr was the leader of that Boston team along with Phil Esposito, Gerry Cheevers, John McKenzie, Derek Sanderson, Johnny Bucyk and others.  Orr was an original, a defenseman who was offense-minded.  He strayed from the blue line more than any d-man had up to that time.  He scored a lot of goals, but was often up ice so much that it put a lot of pressure on the other defenseman.  Great player, but for pure defense, I'd take Lidstrom or Chelios any day.

The old steelers one is very good, the steelers are good at producing linebackers.  right now I would have to say the most established is the chicago bear.  Urlacher was the defensive mvp last year and has proven time and time again he can change a game.  Lance briggs was a pro bowler last year as well and both of these guys are in their prime.  They anchored the number one defense in the nfl last year.

I like Beckham's work but there was a guy on Italy's team that looked like he had some cool ones too. I don't remember who it was though.

Different player play different position, it is difficult to say who is the best player, but I think Thierry Henry is the best for playing forward, Roanaldhiho for midfielder, and Cannavaro for defender

Tim Duncan. His skill is undeniable, but his personality isn't arrogant or flamboyant. He just gets the job done. He learned from the best, The Admiral, David Robinson. (He's actually my favorite, but I assumed you wanted an active player.)

Right. He only needs a great assist man, a player able to spot it out the best passing opportunities. Turkish goalie Volkan Demirel is the world best fitted. Awesome pair.

Wow, um, I have SEVERAL faves:\n\nKuyt--determined to score everytime\nCrouch--limbs all over the place--easy control of the ball!\nHeinze--fierce when possessing the ball\nC.Ronaldo--skills\nFabregas--all round great player\nvan Persie--all round great player\nMessi--speed\nDeco--all round great player\n\nI haven't been a footy fan for long, so my choices are current...

Messi from Argentina!!Whenever the change is made he gives the team a more dynamic energy and when attacking 2 or 3 guys cover him which makes opening for Argentina's offense!!!
565002
Wow, so where do I start... I'll start with Spain...\n\nDavid Villa is at the top of the list, closely followed by Fernando Torres, Cesc Fábregas, and Iker Casillas.\n\nthe rest, in no particular order:  \nFreddie Ljungberg, of course \nMichael Ballack, he looks smart, for some reason\nThierry Henry, and I love his voice\nRonaldinho, I actually don't think he's hot, but I think he's cute with a cute personality\nLuca Toni, he's Italian,come on\n\nI'm sure there are a million others I'm missing, but Beckham was left off on purpose (sorry, too much of a pretty boy for my tastes).
