After the Barcelona vs. Real Madrid of yesterday, I have a new vote:
That argentine motherf*cker called Messi will be da very best one day,
probably soon. He destructed the Real Madrid with only 18 years old.

Hello Atkingani, can you tell me what's the latest story about Romario? He became very popular playing in Holland with PSV Eindhoven, I have always enjoyed his scoring abilities but he turned out to be a rather narcistic personality (his ex-wife was a shrink I read somewhere, must have been a very steamy relationship), will he ever become president of Brazil?

Thank you!
From the list I vote for Ronaldo Assis aka Ronaldinho (Barcelona).
Best player ever... hmmmmmm. It is difficult to say. Pelé played together with other genius like Didi, Garrincha, Rivelino, Gérson, Zito, etc. be with Santos F.C. or Brazilian National Team; but obviously he was great. Maradona was great too, but now we know he was using drugs all the time when he was active and the question is "did the dope enhance his playing"? If so, I cut by half his success.
My favourite player was Zico that took (as a leader) my team to be 5 times Brazilian champions and also World Champion beating Liverpool 3-0 in Tokyo (1981). My team is FLAMENGO, from Rio de Janeiro.

Roy Keane, anyone?!
For about 10 years he was number one in English football , and although he's one of those guys who has too big a mouth, as a player he is/was simply the best defensive midfielder.

They've been writing the phenomenon off since his first major injury, prior to the 1998 World Cup ... I say as long this guy stays fit, he'll do the damage ... the main problem he has is that he plays for Real Madrid and Brazil ... competing for places with other titans .. one bad patch could be the end ...
I still expect him to end his career as the record goal scorer in the World Cup Finals (he's got 12 from two, just 2 goals behind Gerd Muller) ... and conclude with a spectacular last hurrah ... as for international goals (56 internationalgoals in 89 matches ... and more to come)
I am probably the only person in the world who would use the fast in relation to Ronaldo-in both senses of the word....
Cristiano Ronaldo,however is definitely one to watch.
I would just like to add my twopenneth about Arjen Robben.He was a sensation in his first season with Chelski but Premiership teams are notoriously slow at figuring players out.This season everyone seems to have his measure and he is a shadow of his self from his debut season.Over-rated.

1) At this moment I am mostly impressed by Ronaldinho. A few years ago he was more a circus artist but his development is stunning: he still shows his 'out-of-this-earth'' technical abilities but he also is very effective with passing, controlling and scoring, I love to see him smiling !
2) I don't like him as a person but the arrogant and provocative German midfielder Michael Ballack (Bayern Munich is one of the best in the world at this moment, I think he will join Real Madrid next year. By the way, he should have been in the Poll!
3) Yesterday evening I enjoyed the super talents from the 20-year old Rooney during Manchester United against Charlton Athletic on Match Of The Day (BBC TV), this man will be a sensation on the next World Championship in Germany!
4) It's also amazing how many great Dutch players we have at this moment in foreign competitions: Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Robin Van Persie (every week better!) and of course the speedy (but injured) Arjen Robben in the UK and Rafael Van Der Vaart with HSV (Germany), we will see them in during the forthcoming World Championship too !
5) Ronaldo (one of my favorite players) should play in a decent team, the unbalanced Real Madrid is build-up for commercial activities, not to win prizes with that overkill of technical players!

Thank you.
Yes it is, but I confess I was far more attracted to the previous one
Best player now: Oh come on, from an attacking sense, how can it not be Ronaldinho? ... the man's a magician ...
Best player of all time: Diego Armando Maradona ... Pele is very close of course but the advantage he had was playing alongside many other geniuses (Garrincha, Vava, Jairzinho, Tostao and Rivellinho, for a start).
My 5 favourite players of all time: Carlos Valderrama, Glenn Hoddle, Ferenc Puskas, Roberto Rivellinho and Diego Maradona.
