Default Top 20 Soccer Players

If you made a list of the Top 20 soccer players of all time, who from the current WC tourney would be on the list?

Zidane definitely, Henry probably, R. Carlos, Ronaldhino if he keeps up his current level of play. You could throw Ronaldo in there too. That's all I can think of off the top of my head, I know I'm forgetting some.

FH, I think he means people who have played in this world cup.

Zidane definitely, Henry maybe.

oh I'm an idiot, missed the "of all time" part. That's why this was looking like a strange thread to me [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Definately Zidane, very likely no one else. Althought there are a lot of young players with a ton of potential, in a few years this could look a lot different.

Di Stefano
Eusebio
Lev Yashin
Beckenbauer
Pele
Maradona
Zidane
George Best

I'm sure with the guys I'm not remembering I could fill the other ten spots of a top 20, I think you guys are being too generous.

I was probably being a little generous, mostly due to the fact that I never saw the old greats play (outside of some clips), so I can't really compare the current players to them. Zidane and Carlos are the only ones who I'd put up there based on their current body of work, the others won't be at that level unless they continue to produce.

zidane is the only one, IMO. This was done by the guardian this year. I think zidane was the only one in the top 20, with beckham the next closest at like 24 or something.
