Let me preface this thread by stating that opinions are like a s s h o l e s, everyone has one, so let the bashing begin. These are the best players I've seen play in the last 40+ years.
1. Pele. The Babe Ruth of soccer.
2. Messi. Inching closer to #1
3. Maradona. Used to be #2
4. Johan Cruyff. Favorite player growing up. A legend
5. Franz Beckenbauer. Der Kaiser was the puppet master in his time. He revolutionized or better yet, invented the attacking defender.
6. Zinedine Zidane. The complete package
The first 6 are easy. This is where it starts getting a little more difficult.
7. Ronaldo. The original Ronaldo. Pure scoring machine.
8. Cristiano Ronaldo. Hate to admit it because he's so cocky, but the guy is real good.
9. Gerd Muller. The experts will say Eusebio from Portugal belongs here, but I never really saw him play.
10.Xavi Hernandez. Architect of one of the greatest club team of all time and national team of all time.
