So, who is widely considered to be your country's best football player of all time? And if you don't agree with the widely accepted choice, who would it be?
Here it would be either Rafa Marquez or Hugo Sanchez (Sanchez' nickname, "El Pentapichichi", is legendary here). I think Rafa is slightly better than Sanchez.
>not choosing Herrera
Fuck you, Mexicunt
Ji sung Park, who was a captain of Manchester utd
>So, who is widely considered to be your country's best football player of all time?
Dragan Dzajic.
My choice would be Dragan Stojkovic Piksi.
>Corona
>Not Modelo
Normally portoposters are based, but im disappointed in you fampai.
almost everyone agrees on him being the best
What about Drulovic?
some say Van Basten is. thats defendable too
>I now remember Fabio and Rafael
Sorry, CHI, but I need to stick with our star's beer
He was the Serbian Quaresma.
Corona is the only one available in most shops here. Both are good.
If only he was as good as he is ugly he'd be better than Péle, Maradroga, Messi and Ronaldinho combined.
Yeah, I can agree with that
is there a van besten stadium? no.
For me, it's Xavi Hernández
i'm honestly shocked to see that a few of these guys were on the team at the same time.
Christian Ronald
Cahill
Donovan
George Best
kek, based mexibro
DER KAISER, followed by Gerd Müller, followed by Walter and Seeler.
>Ronald
Not even a top 5 Portuguese player
Name the five best
>flag
top 10 anime betrayals
In no order
Deco
Carvalho
Eusebio
Rui Costa
Figo
I think Pepe is arguable, and by the time Bernado Silvas career is over he'll be there too
Xavi/Iniesta, even though some inbred madridistas say Raúl or Casillas
For me, it's Giles
1.Eusébio
2.Figo
3.Deco
4.Rui Costa
5.Bernardo Silva
Of those two I think I prefer Iniesta. Guy is an absolute madman on the field.
Casillas is awesome but fuck GKs.
>deco
We were born on the same town, I'm not portuguese
And some even say Ramos
For Scotland, it’s Dalglish. Though some would argue for Denis Law or Graeme Souness.
Casillas is ahead of Iniesta, IMO (as difficult as it is to rank outfiled players and GK's). Iniesta is probably third in my list, anyway, so it's not a massive snub or anything.
The King
Yes you are, stop lying to yourself
For New Zealand it's Ryan Nelsen.
His heart was Portuguese; is yours?
it's suker and it's not even close
Everything in purple and the Asian and European white lands count as Portuguese
>tfw portugal is mostly congoloids
That explains that cunt Pepe.
for me it's pic related
The original based black man
Fair enough, he prob is the best spanish gk ever
>when you're so good both camps love you
no contest
Pelé.
What about the original Manniche?
>Yea Forums showing respect for Casillas
Is this Bizarro Yea Forums!?
What's bizarre about that? Even I as a cule respect Casillas, he was number 1 GK in his prime and one of the very few decent human beings in Halal.
Usualy Yea Forums has no respect at all for Casillas and he is only mentioned in mockery
What are you even asking?
As it should be.
What do you think of the original Manniche?
And the other Benfica guy, magnusson
I posted a picture of Michael Laudrup, why are you asking me this
Skini se sa espija Davore.
>tfw born in cuba
>sport finally starting to gain traction
>the only thing left on the island is blacks and mulatos
Now everyone is going to think Cuba is black like Argentina.
And what's the source of that animosity towards him? I think he's likeable.
Because they are also Danish?
Mostly the Robben meme, EVEN THOUGH CASILLAS LITERALLY DEFEATED ROBBEN IN A WORLD CUP FINAL AND ROBBEN NEVER WON A WORLD CUP
That meme is disrespectful and annoys me
Patrician choices
Thought you were talking about Portuguese Maniche, turns out he's named after him (Manniche), who'd have known.
He only played briefly for our NT, not exactly goat material. I have no idea who Magnussen is
why not this small goalkeeper wearing flashy clothes?
also Poland, Kazimierz Deyna. Maybe because he is dead, otherwise it would be Boniek. Deyna is considered better than Cryuff desu. He is also a "wasted" talent because our communist authorities didn't let him play abroad earlier (Legia was our army official club so he was kinda like this Korean from Tottenham)
Boniek fucked us with refball in '84, fuck him
Boniek is an italian mafioso destroying polish football. A shitty manager who has so much undisputed power here that he dictates Brzeczek how to choose 11 starters and tactics. Fuck him either.
Lmao still can't believe Casillas fucked that save, and he still stopped Robben's shot.
Magnusson was a Benfica star, but he's Swedish
I rated Prosinecki more though, bica sniga
>not rating Garrincha because his body is stolen from the mausoleum and he don't exist officially
Ups, sorry, my bad
Do I even need to say it?
Larson?
Ravelli, Ljungberg or Larsson?
You mean Jorge Campos?
I think he'd share the 3rd place with Cuauhtémoc Blanco, not only because he's the only midget who could ever become a world-class goalie but because he also was a damn good striker. Yes people, this cunt played on what are basically polar opposite positions, and he excelled at them both.
Probably Luis Suarez or Enzo Francescoli unless we want to go back to maybe Juan Schiaffino
What about Mijatovic?
Is there a Johan Cruyff alive?
I think Casillas would have been ahead of Iniesta if he would had step aside before fucking his career up both in Madrid and the NT.
Or Brolin
Wasn't Casillas sacked without real reason from RM?
He was something like Morientes for Spain, good but not the best of all time.
This niBBa was a striker and a gk in the same season
There's like 10 candidates for that
Zoomers will scream Mkhitaryan though
Djorkaeff is a good candidate if we include the diaspora
elias figueroa
de gay indeed
me
Beckenbauer
>Djorkaeff
Damn, didn't know he was Armenian.
He is a russian - armenian - mongol - french mix
At least 14 countries can relate to Djorkaeff
He was elite 2bh. Scored an amazing goal against Atletico in the Europa League, played with Landon Donovan and David Beckham, he's the world's top scorer in WC Qualifiers and scored 5 goals in his last match for the national team. The best there was, the best there is, the best there ever will be.
Based Ruiz.
tfw capitalism gave him the nickname Tecatito when he played for Monterrey because their beer sponsor is Tecate
Fucking legend. His chip vs Juve was something else. I miss him.
He used to score blooters on a daily basis, I miss him so much.
cringe
the real GOAT here is Cuauhtémoc Blanco
England: Bobby Charlton, although people will say Gazza was the most technically gifted English player
Wales: Gareth Bale has probably eclipsed every other Welsh player by this point
Scotland: Kenny Dalglish
Northern Ireland: George Best
Another GOAT goal
>Wales
Ian Rush was the GOAT goalscorer
Based and jorobapilled.
Bale is the better goalscorer for Wales both in terms of the number of goals and the rate at which he scores them.
based
I'm a madridista and I'd say it's Iniesta. Casillas second and Xavi third.
For me it's La Sombra Voladora
>Trivago
Russell Latapy
>Tripadvisor
Dwight Yorke
Won 1988 Olympic Gold, scored 2 goals in the tournament
What about Jankauskas?
>Latapy
ULTRA-BASED!
Correct.
Del Piero
>What about Jankauskas?
He's up there, one of the best at the very least
1. Iniesta
2. Casillas
3. Xavi
4. Hierro
5. Xabi
>tfw i bought both of them in fifa11 because their names sounded like they would be decent players
Most would say Zidane, but for me it's
JIROO
>Del Piero
As an Italy supporter since 2000, I will never forgive Del Piero for his misses in the European Championship final.
If argentina is black cuba is, has been and will always be black.
definitely pic related
The absolute state of that team
why tf is #2 there twice
Also he´s from Hermosillo and absolutely no one drinks anything but Tecate here
t. juve fan
He wasn't even the best italian player of his time, propably top 5 though
Honourable mention to Brady and McGrath but no one could control a game or lead like Roy
Unlike the players on your list, Ronaldo actually won something with Portugal
Based
I didn't mean exclusively in the Wales NT. Nowadays Wales has a much better team than in the 80s, 90s and 2000s. Players like Rush and Giggs would have much better stats if they were playing today. Overall, in his Liverpool career, Rush was an elite strikers, with similar numbers to Shearer, Henry, Suarez...
>corona
>good
tastes like piss faggot
Based Parkposter
Who's that between Park and Chicharito?
Roberto Baggio
Or you could just roll a dice on Milans team
yes but bale is so far ahead of rush in his record for the welsh NT, also winning 4x CL with real madrid. rush was absolutely elite no question but bale dragged a pretty shit wales team to the euro SFs
What? Why? He saved two 1 on 1s against PEAK Arijen Robben in the world cup final.
This guy is cringe
I'm not really brit, this is the undisputed GOAT.
Jackie Milburn is probably the best Northumbrian footballer ever.
unreal how this 2011 (?) photo has 4 players who are STILL at united, 2 of whom are trash
Pescadito mah nigga
Mago Valdivia
Americanistas >Pic related are you
Savicevic by far
cuahtemoc BTFOs both of them in his prime.
>Bobby Charlton, although people will say Gazza was the most technically gifted English player
came to post this
Is it Donavan or Dempsey, Ameribros?
For me I think it’s Clint
If "without real reason" you mean he drop his form dramatically, brag about not even training, leak info to the media so they would support him and complain all the time for not playing, then yes.
I obviously didn't see him playing, but people who had always says that Luis Suarez (the Galician one, not the Uruguayan) was absolutely amazing. He's still the only Spaniard who has won the Ballon d'Or, for that's worth.
B A S E D Portoposter. #respeto
the goat
Buttner?
I liked this Great Lebowski
What no faggot, he was close but not on Rafa or Sanchez level
To be fair most people who like Liga MX look like oaxacos apestosos, specially Cruzazulistas.
Deuce for sure. Donovan had great moments, where as Deuce was a great player.
Donovan couldnt break into starting 11 in germany or in england. Deuce was the man at Fulham.
Only caught the very end of his career and the fading memories of WC98 but he just looked a class apart even against Brazil
In my lifetime it's probably Gazza (also Mcmanaman imo - was good enough to win 2 CL with Real) but after having seen his youtube comps Hoddle was unbelievably good and totally wasted by British mongs for managers. Also John Barnes.
Pre-injury Del Piero was on the road to be the best but he never came back the same. With better luck Baggio could have won 3 WCs
>this team won the premier league convincingly
Don't pretend like that's their first team
Objectively, this guy.
But some people say that Elias Figueroa was the best player in Chile, but he is more of a living legend than a player who has won important titles like Vidal.
90% of it was. Shitters like young, cleverly, Rafael, nani and smalling were all first team starters in the league along with de gea. If nani didn't play they had other shitters like Valencia. It was a truly garbage team outside of van Persie yet they still walked the league and even had the opportunity to break the record for most points in a premier league season by the end but their form dropped a bit eight at the end and they drew a few games like that 5-5 against west Brom.
Smalling made 10 starts, Nani 7. Non eof the players you listed started more than half the league games aside from Rafael
Young was a first team starter till he got injured and he literally picked up his medal in crutches. Same for smalling. That United team was pure garbage no matter how anyone twists it yet it walked the league with ease. Everyone was either washed up like Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra or legit garbage like Cleverly, Valencia, Rafael, Evans etc. De Gea was still a prospect at that time. It was a miracle they even won the league. They let in a fuck load of goals but scored loads as well. Everything that happened to Moyes started in 2012/13 with the leakiest defence.
corona with lime is great
fuck outta here
Fuck you faggot. ZAMORANO
The Prem was shit before your pocotinos and peps
>So, who is widely considered to be your country's best football player of all time?
one out of Jim Brown, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, or Lawrence Taylor
most people our generation would say Brady
"football" is not synonymous with association football in this country
>implying handegg is a serious sport
Lmao
Nobody
>implying soccer is
I think harry kewell is the goat of Australia
He won the Champions league
Keano is Kino
Cahill was better in Internationals for us though.
I think Matt Ryan will also be in for a good shout at the end of his career.
Based Kazimierz Deyna. One of the greatest midfielders of all time. This shot was so powerful that it broke his shoe.
youtube.com
Based
Bobby Charlton for sure. I think Gordon Banks is probably next in terms of universal agreement
This man changed football as a player and as a manager.
Nothing but respect.
>"football" is not synonymous with association football in this country
If you're some mouthbreathing idiot who would rather make an ass out of himself than just use basic fucking context to understand which football is being talked about, sure
>sees everybody talking about actual football players
>decides to be a fucking imbecile
>"Tom Brady huehuehue"
The absolute state of these handegg cocksuckers.
ok, for real now
>I am old enough to remember when Scottish football was serious business and Scottish players were respected and feared
>Mcmanaman
You could get a pretty decent 11 of 90s English players who hardly got capped. Macca, Le Tiss, Fowler, Winterburn, Parlour
Reminds me of my childhood
I thought Yorke was Trivago. They've got a stadium named after him and everything.
Nothing special really...… just the best player in the entire world
George Best
I think it's either Kevin De Bruyne or Eden Hazard
Zoomers will say Oblak, for me it's Zahovič
It's Tom Cleverley
ABSOLUTELY BASED!
Can see the top of his huge scar from the knee surgery that nearly ended his career before it began. There's a big torrent of his whole career and it's amazing
Look at these DOODZ
Chicarito the lesbian looks the most normal lmao
He was so fucking good
>Ronaldo actually won something with Portugal
no he didn't, he didn't play the most important game
> that spinning uppercut when he scored
Either Tim Howard, Landon Donavan, or Clint Dempsey. Most people say Donavan but for me it’s Dempsey.
All hail the King!
Suker, Modric or Boban. However, for me, it's Prosinecki.
Hierro and Xabi have no business being there ahead of Raul
yes Dempsey is based
Hierro and Xabi have no business being there, period.
Even Busquets, Puyol or Ramos should be above them, and I fucking hate that fucking gipsy. And thats only to name a few in recent years and not going to Zamora or Suarez times.
>Herrera
very good
>Layun
had one very good season, and one bad one
>Corona

maybe at a club level but definitley not for the mexican national team, he's always been a huge liabilty since 2002 2-0 wc
Riquelme.

not one single player from the 90s or 00s could hold a candle to any of our teams from that era

What? When you say someone's the best you talk about general ability, not accolades in a small percentage of games throughout their whole career.
Rafa was an absolute beast on the field, period.
>And if you don't agree with the widely accepted choice, who would it be?
Claudio Reyna
Anyone who thinks otherwise either worships stats or had never seen Reyna play
Zoomers will say Hamez or Falcao but el pibe put colombia on the map alongside Asprilla and the rest of the 90s team
BASED
craig forrest
Jimmy Conrad
youtu.be
Italy-bros, this man is fucking based. Always came to love Di Natale. Such an elegant player.
Probably Bobby Charlton. Though Owen could have eclipsed him had he not gotten injured so much. Though that could be said about so many English players. Gascoigne was also a lad. There is no English player who would get into a World's Best XI now. There is superior in every position.
Not necessarily disagreeing, but just curious what your argument for Reyna over Landon is.
>nobody has said Bobby Moore
what the fuck
Charlton and Banks probably come close too
Duncan Edwards had he not died in Munich may have been the greatest
Gazza was technically the most gifted player
Hoddle is underrated
The 00s golden generation were all great players but none were truly legendary
ahead of Raúl, Quini, Puyol, Guardiola, Aragonés, Zarra, Zamora, Valerón, Pichichi, Mendieta... there have been a lot of players who were better than Hierro and Alonso. For me it's
1. Xavi H.
2. Casillas
3. Iniesta
4. Valerón
5. Raúl
Rafa marquez did more for mexico than hugo ever did, even at the height if his career he never cared about the national team only stat paddin for mudrid and pumas. Rafa Marquez was elite for a short period but he always cared about the mexican NT. Hell, even cuatehmoc did more for the NT than Hugo. Hugo only remembered cus he was elite in europe, thats it.

Overrated and softer that a shit after Taco Bell's.
Big player for small teams (and Depor was that). I dont even think Raul was THAT good (very decent player, but wouldnt he be at Madrid, he would have been very much less regarded as a great) but to put the autist Canarian above him is just laughable.
Pre injury Falcao
>Imagine being this much of redditor
Tell me, Dutchbros.
Is he the 3rd best player of our country (Behind Cruijff and arguably Van Basten) or is he the true GOAT?
Based
Based as fuck
Remember him best for his time at Derby where his legs were so fucked that he couldn't even train, yet was still an imperious man mountain pretty much on positioning alone
For me, it's Archie Gemmill
>tfw england stole the best ever canadian and jamaican footballers
Absolutely perfidious
Netherlands have many many great players, but I would give all my money to see Dennis play.
This season was proof that SAF must have sold his soul for the magic touch. He won the league with a team of Rooney, rvp and spare parts. Took them to the CL final and only truly outclassed by literally peak Barca who might be the best side ever.
>Mulattos
I wish then the cuban team would actually be semi good. The only thing left in Cuba are fucking Haitians
>Le fail at Serie A player
Kosovo here
We had a few guys like Riza Lushta who played for Juventus in the 40s and Faton Kryeziu who played for Roma around the same time.
But Fadil Vokrri is by far the most popular here despite not playing for a big club(he had offers at the time but because he was on military service). Biggest club he played for was Fenerbahce.
Also was the President of Kosovo Football Federation and he played a crucial role in FIFA/UEFA accepting Kosovo.
He died last year of heart-attack. RIP.
So? He still is better than any Albanian player ever
True, true.
Im pretty torn, its probably Shaqiri if Im honest but I cant get over this lad. You get one based and redpilled point from me if you know who it be
That dude from Basel
Fucking newfags I swear...
Unironically him
correct answer is chapuisat
Really now? Shaqiri wasn't even born in Switzerland.
Pretty sure the OP was asking about players from your country as in players that are actually Swiss in your case.
Stephan Lichtsteiner comes to mind.
