I used to read Match when I was about 12.
Totti was too low down but Henry isn't the worlds best player. |

Haha, some Brazilian exchange student used to talk up Kaka to me last year, but I thought he was just some shitty sensation in the Brazillian leagues. Go figure.

Dida is brazils and Milans keeper, he was in the shoot out in the Champions League final last year. Kaka is also brazilian and in Milans team, meant to be shit hot, kept Rivaldo out of the team last year.
The list isnt great, some of the choices are insane and its obviously voted on by people who watch only the premiership and champions league, how else would Okacha or Rooney get so high? Duff owns Nedved though ![]() ![]() |

Kahn may be one of the best in his generation, but this is the now mate, and right now, he sucks big time! And Harry Kewell?, if you think he deserves to be in the list, i'm afraid it is YOU is making an arse of himself! |

Campbell has improved hugely since Tottenham, I'm not gonna say he deserves to be in the top 50 footballers in the world, but I'm guessing this is based on ability per position, and Campbell has great ability. He is one of the best tacklers I have ever seen, he has pace, he's big, he can head, he has every attribute you could ask for in a defender. The only thing I could ever say against him, is that his positioning can be a bit wayward, but he has really tightened up the last 2 seasons, and he would always be my number 1 pick for England's defence. Hell, Arsenal's defence is hardly full of superstars, and yet they concede less than anyone else in the league, Campbell is the number 1 reason for this. As has been said, Kahn's generation is now. Kahn only broke out from Bodo Illgner in around 97/98 to become Germany's number 1, but ever since he's gone that extra yard, he has proved what a quality keeper he is. Look at the world cup, watch a Bayern Munich game, watch the German national side, the guy has the safest hands in the business, ok, he made a mistake the other day, big whoop, every keeper makes a mistake once in a while, Kahn made his Wednesday, I bet this weekend he pulls off 5 fine saves at least. If you think Kahn sucks, you have absolutely no idea what your talking about. Harry Kewell is a good player. If he wasn't thrusted into the sh>it that is the Liverpool side right now he'd be a much better player. You just have to watch him when he's on the ball, he has got to be in the top 3 in the premiership for a player with the ball at his feet and then doing something with it. See his goal on Thursday? That's quality. I'm sure that once the Liverpool side gets its act together, you'll see the best of Kewell. You are suggesting that because of one average season Kewell shouldn't be on a list, when he has had 6 or 7 years of top quality performances for Leeds, week in week out, the guy who tore England apart at Upton Park, and at the start of this season was Liverpool's best creative threat. Harry Kewell shouldn't be in the top 20, or maybe top 30, but he should be on there. |
