He was GREAT...... way back when. When he played for Barca...when he won the world cup. Now he plays for olympiakos--not the best team but hey that was his choice. Ronaldinho has taken the spot for the world's best player now. I still have love for Rivaldo though--ah the fond memories.

for kappa italia..........ma vaff******............tell all the centroavanti in serie A that materazzi sucks............no one wants to face il Matrix..........even though he may be considered a dirty player, he is a great/physical defender with both technical and tactical abilitiy. to answer the original question, figo veron and of course il nostro grande capitano javier zanetti have contributed the most this season.........cambiasso too. but inter have too many argintines......we need piu' italiani (rumor has it we're interested in franceso tavano, bomber dell'empoli).....that would be a good signing i think

totti is overated, very overated, i think he is possibly the most overated player in the world and he plays like a poor mans frank lampard, if you mean brazils ronaldo then he is having weight problems at the minute but he is fantastic, the defining player of a generation, 15 world cup goals says it all, has had problems with form for the last couple of seasons but still ronaldo would walk onto any teamsheet be it chelsea, barca or juventus he is the best striker in the world.  inzaghi is technically gifted and a good forward, i wouldnt say he is especially good just good, klose has an eye for goal and probably the best header of the ball in the world, crespo plays football like he is painting a masterpiece, he is a little overated but very very classy, del piero played in tottis place the other day and played well but he is only a shadow of his former self he used to be a great player but for the last few seasons in the champs leaugue he has been poor messi is a name to look out for in the future he hammered chelsea at camp nou but has been largely left out of the argentina team at this world cup, he has graced our screens one or twice and has looked good but come 2010 he will be the star of the tournament, so so talented i would go as far to say that along with arjen robben he is the most talented winger in the world and a huge huge star of the future, i dont know who this bal is sorry, the best player on that list is ronaldo( if you mean brazils ronaldo) ronaldo is the best player of his generation, ohhh bal is michael ballack, ballack reminds me of steven gerrard and michale essien, he is class true class great range of passing, great tackler, powerful shot, never runs out of energy, ballack could play centre half or centre forward and would not disapoint in either, a great midfielder and  a great commited footballer as his performances have shown,

He's a great young player for Portugal and Man.Utd.He is magical with the ball like Ronaldinho and I love watching him play.I hope he has a great tournament...unless he's playing England.

He is pretty good! He did have that nasty elbow on Brian McBride but he will become a fixture for Italy in time. Right now I dont know if he can beat out Guttuso or Pirlo for those central spots. But he is dynamite for Roma

better then C.Ronaldo difficult to say, to me he has some difficulty with being consitant all game he is a great player but he needs to give it his all everygame not just half ass it , he is good like ronaldo and all the you portugese players they will get better with time.

As a Spurs fan since '59, he's  the nearest thing I've seen to the great Jimmy Greaves at the club, not in terms of his Goalscoring but in terms of his natural Skill, Intelligence & Quick Thinking.\nMind you, Ginola wasn't bad either, but he was a Winger!

i know i'll take a bashing from the english football fans here but here goes anyways... in retrospect to most english footballers, they do make too much money!  technically-that is skillwise-they're english players are far inferior to say, spanish, argentine, brazilian, dutch, czech or-oh my god! even french players. take david beckham for example... the man is above-average at best... he's not great goalscorer like ronaldinho, doesn't possess riquelme's vision, figo's footwork, nedved's playmaking penchant nor landon donovan's speed. we're never going to compare him to zidane for a myriad of reasons-most of which have to deal with ability. he doesn't even play any real defence. all of these downgraded abilities and yet, only ronaldinho makes more money than he does.  why?  because of looks...!  (chuckles...) then there're are individuals such as jermaine defoe whom i can never recall ever starting a match for team england-and rightfully so-yet he makes millions.  onward, we have the goalkeeper, robinson who would not start for my national team, romania if he were selectable by the head coach, victor piturca.  i cannot remember sol cambell, joe cole or shaun wright-phillips haven't really made serious impressions on me. ofcourse, there are exceptions... rooney is a boatload of talent, sheringham continues to be a warrior and steven gerrard is by far, the best midfielder england have now... he even scored today, versus trinidad and tobago.  then there are players such as crouch and, possibly the best england has to offer, michael owen. this brings us to a serious question: why don't these players make anywhere nearly as much as beckham-i mean, i really understand ronaldinho's income-he deserves every penny and more. what is depressing to me is that beckham isn't even the best midfielder on his national team let alone in europe, with the likes of rosicky, nedved, figo, ballack, antonio reyes and so forth-or the world with riquelme, donovan, ronalaldinho, robinho as well as julio baptista getting the nod from me over beckham-and i watch and follow loads of football-you would think i really didn't have a social life if you all would know how much football i follow. therfore, i know what i am arguing about! although footballers do not make anywhere near the kind of money that nba basketball players or pga tour professional golfers make on a yearly basis, some are grossly overpaid-especially in england.  to compare the earnings parity among the different sports: as much money as ronaldinho and beckham make-both in the vicinty of $25 million- kevin garnett of the nba makes $28 million per year in salary alone-not including very lucrative endorsements. shaquille o'neal makes more than $30 million a year in salary alone. let's not even discuss kobe bryant. the single most boring sport you can ever wacth on telivision, golf, brings tiger woods more than $60 million a year in total. phil mickelson more than $25 million. therfore, in comparison, footballers' pay, anywhere in the world i'm afraid, pale in comparison to athletic earnings from your brothers in arms from acroos the atlantic-and i do not mean canada!!! footballers face much more pressure to perform well than athletes here in the united states and then there're all the politics involved-such as when say, germany suit up against poland or ireland republic play england. everyone on both side play their hearts out when turkey face greece and serbia face either bosnia-herzigovina or croatia. we, as romanians, lose our minds when we play hungary. this unique to only football, and adds alot of pressure. when you really think about it, eleven or so men can cause the utmost national pride or adversely depress millions, in seconds. football is the only sport consistently used as political propaganda-remember el salvador-honduras? the match only pushed things over the edge and gave both nations' leade

I think he is the best  GK now. Not to mention the most expensive one. \nthe ppl who say he is not the best r having a serious problem.

haha apparently english fans have a little chant where they call him fat.\nanyways, i do think hes a bit over weight and out of shape, but if he can keep up with play and score the goals that are needed, who cares?\nHe's tied with Pele for third with 12 goals, with three more he'll be in first place.
