Someone tried to argue with me yesterday he wasn't one of the greatest players of his generation/the 90s.

Clueless...superb player

His words were "I could name at least 10 players today better than Baggio".

Without being biased, I could struggle to think of three.

KDB probably the only one who comes close. And maybe Lewa.

Today? ...Imagine him at Bayern or Man City today! I have a heavy bias to the 90s. Ask him to watch some of his Fiorentina highlights including dribbling past the best defence in club football at the time (Napoli). Would love to know his list of 10

Messi and Ronaldo are givens, I will agree with that.

I just struggle to think of 10 players today better than Baggio, let alone as good as.

The goal against Czechoslovakia at Italia 90 was the quintessential Baggio goal. True modern great.

I image him staying at Fiorentina and forming a formidable partnership with Batitstuta. Surely there was at least one Scudetto there for La Viola.

He did form a good partnership with a striker ..can’t remember name. Wonder if they would have bought Batistuta if they held on to Baggio

It was Bati and Rui Costa (great player but inferior to Robi)

Roberto baggio the best italian player ever... one of the best in the history of the game, players today not even close to his skill level

Wouldnt Maldini & Del Piero be ahead of him?

Batistuta was about 20/21 when he signed with Fiorentina, and I think he was a bit of a bargain buy at the time as well. The Fiorentina VP "discovered" him so even if Baggio was still around Batitstuta was going to Florence.

It was Bati and Rui Costa (great player but inferior to Robi)

Rui Costa was a very good player who I loved watching as well, but he wasn't Baggio. He was even a fourth rate Baggio.

I dont think I'll ever get in a chopper. Harding, Srivaddhanaprabha, Kobe ... It's a no from me.

theyre fine, have been in them a couple of times. bad accidents happen in cars also.

 

[SM]

Yeah I refuse to get in a helicopter, they just seem like death traps.

Yeah but in a car you aren't hundreds of feet in the air.. You could say the same of just walking down the street, but everything I hear about helicopters just sounds like a bad idea.

All true but theres hundreds of millions of uneventful flights all the time worldwide on choppers.

I did it in Vegas for a grand canyon tour. Once the pilot explained the safety features it wasnt an issue for me. Theyve even got autorotate feature so can land even with an engine failure.

 

[chef]

Im a big no for helicopters too

That's great but still a no for me.

The dumbest part about using that expression here is that this is the very reason a few of us are saying we won't get in a chopper. We only live once we don't want to waste it going down in a chopper.

Yeah, each to their own. Helicopters are a very safe form of transport, thats borne out by the facts.

Pretty much any form of transport we use involves a minute amount of risk.

For me personally I am not worried about it. Others may be and theres nothing wrong with that.

Been in one, once.

It carried 5 people including the pilot, I didn't feel unsafe but I don't know if I would rush to get in one again.
