Nah... He won't be an all time top scorer...\n\nSomeone is much more deserved for it... like Klose

Buffon is much better. Cech is overrated. Viva Italia.

They've done it in the past with Souness (and he was not even a Rangers legend at the time) so why not.  But remember PLG will have just won his second championship by then and will be riding high in the champions league!!!

Actually, in the last season, Gigi Buffon played well, but his goalkeeping was, according to me, overshadowed by Lehmann's antics in goal. He was truly incredible, and the only blot on the season was his sending off in the Champions League final. I believe that the award should go to one of these 2 keepers. It's high time their jobs are given their due recognition.

Unfortunately, I'd have to say no.  But there's nobody who'd love to see 'Il Divin Codino' play again.  There were few before him that had the magic and skill that he possessed, and even fewer after him.  When a man that is 'too old' is the third highest scorer in Serie A, behind Christian Vieri and Francesco Totti in 2000, for player selected to the National team, and he didn't get selected, you know something is wrong with the higher-ups.  4 goals in 4 games in the '98 World Cup, his last international tournament.  He was a clutch player, who (almost) always came through when the team needed him most.  Ignorant football fans wish to talk down about him because of one penalty miss.  English have gotten over Beckam...and Batty, and Southgate, and the list goes on and on for them.  The Dutch forgave De Boer, and he missed TWO in the SAME GAME!  The best players throughout history, have failed at least once, and that's what makes them great.  You have to lose to win.  I do believe only 5 players have ever scored over 200 Serie A goals, him being one of them.  Pretty impressive for a career, plagued with serious knee injuries (many of them career-threatening, mainly the one when he was 18, and the doctors said his career was finished.)  A winner of the FIFA World Player of the Year and the Ballon D'or.  Scorer of one of the greatest World Cup goals ever scored (sorry Czech Republic, or Czechoslovakia, as they were known then).  Over the last 6-8 years, the problem with the National team has been their lack of creativity, lack of vision.  There's no more magic in the Azzurri.  Primarily because there's no Roby.  Euro '96 could have been different if it wasn't for Arigo Sacchi.  How could you not pick the man that single handledly took the country to the final of the World Cup, just two years before.  Sadly, this has been a serious problem in Italian football for years.  It really is a shame, that due to injuries and the ignorance and stupidity of the managers, coaches and officials in the Italian game, we barely got to see what Roberto Baggio was really capable of.  \n\nHell, he was transfered from Inter Milan because he refused to tell the coach (Lippi, god I love him, but he fucked up!) which players were criticizing him.\n\nFucking politics!\n\nBy the way, one of my favourite moments has go to be when in 1998, Euro 2000, when Alessandro Del Piero came out, the Italian fans were all chanting 'Roby! Roby!'.  It's absolutely beautiful that some never forget the greats.  \n\nIn case anyone is interested, you can search for this on the net.  I seen a picture once of a banner that some Azzurri fans had brought to an International game.  It read Pele + Maradona = Baggio.  I'm not quite sure about that, but if you aren't aware of Baggios' true talent, check some clips in the net of him.  His skills were very comparable to Maradona.\n\nAnd to the ignorant fools that say he'd too old.  You obviously know nothing about football.  Ever heard of Roger Milla?  And on top of that, check some clips of Baggio in his last couple of seasons, mainly the goals against Lazio, Udinese, Inter and Juventus.  Sheer class!\n\nBy the way, who was the first ever Golden Foot winner in 2003?  Beating the likes of Batistuta, Romario, Zidane, Figo and Giggs?  That's right...Baggio!\n\nForever in our hearts, Baggio, the last of the fantasia.

Pelé (From Brazil) and some other people have indeed made soccer (football) a legend.

most likely. not only he has an exceptional individual technique, but also he has a truly remarkable overall vision of the game\nhe is a complete player and deserves to be named the best player in the last decade

Yeah, he is a legend, but I think that Eto'o will become even bigger than him!!!!!

...how about what a non-italian thinks; NO, BUFFON IS NOT AND WILL NEVER BE THE BEST KEEPER IN THE WORLD...he might be the best salesman for PUMA

Ha ha ha. Nice story. You have a talent for story-writing, do you know that? Anyway, Ronaldo will always be Ronaldo. Nobody can stripped him of his honor of being called "one of the greatest." His record will speak for himself. He may be down now, perhaps because of age (?), but in due time he'll deliver again. The Brazilian team has a deep bench. With Ronaldinhio, they might have a repeat this year. Ronaldo's talent and energy is one of a kind, thus, i believe he will make a great comeback. :D

Yes, I think he is a key player, one of many. Personally I am a huge fan of his, and think and hope that he brings luck to Portugal, as well as all the other key players such as: Figo, Quaresma, Nuno Gomes, and Pauleta, just to name a few.
