Re: Top 20 Soccer Players
[ QUOTE ]
Ive read on this thread a couple of times that Zidane is the 2nd best player behind Maradona. I was suprised when I read this(although I am new to watching soccer), but I just didn't know that people would put him ahead of someone like Pele. Is this widely accepted?
Although I was extremely impressed with his performance against Brazil, it has to be classic and is the best in this tournament by far, IMO.

Comparing players across eras is obviously difficult and subjective. I would not say that Zidane is a clear cut #2 behind Maradona, but it is probably fair to put him in the very top upper echelon all time along with Maradona, Cruyff, Pele, and maybe a couple others.
