Beckham is not even close top50.
I Think Zidane is the only one, with Ronaldo maybe crackin the top 20. Ahead of him there are
Pele
Garrincha
Maradona
Cruyff
Beckenbauer
Di Stefano
Platini
Zico
Romario
Zidane
Best
Bobby Charlton
Eusebio
Puskas
Matthaus
Baggio
Nilton Santos
Yashin
Tostao

[/ QUOTE ]

Can you explain to me how and why Romario got on that list? And Baggio?

You are forgetting loads of great players like Eder, Socrates, Nordahl & Liedholm

LOL, I was going to poast this last night too but I was tired after a tournament. There are like 5 players in this world cup that are better then those two using any comparison you would want to use.
There is no way those two and a bunch of others are better then Ronaldo. He may have been [censored] this WC, as was the whole Brazil team ( compared to their usual standards), but I have yet to see a better goal scorer ever.

Baggio is an absolute lock in a top 20 list.

Müller.

He scored 68 times in 62 games for Germany, 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga games. Nobody will ever top that.

LOL I was not born when he was doing his thing. But yeah that is quite an impressive stat sheet.

I have watched pretty much every world cup (for sometime the only time we in the US were exposed to world class soccer till satelite) game since 1986 and the best player I ever saw was pretty obvious........... Maradona. It really is not close. He pretty much carried his teams on his back.

Some of the others that standout (world cup wise):

Stoichkov
Mathias
R. Carlos
Battistuta
Zidane- 2nd. best player
Ronaldo- best goal scorer I have seen
Kahn

I know I am forgetting a few. I would have included Ronaldinho for his 2002 performance but man he did nothing this time. But I think his coach killed whatever chance that team had. He right or wrong went with his horses (Adriano,Cafu, R. Carlos to name a few) and decided to skip the younger faster players (Robinho and Cincinho) that opend up space up top for Ronaldo and others. But I digress and that is off topic sorry.
