Haha what a rubbish list.

Firstly - 68. Michael Owen , he's not that good. Especially when you consider that the greatest english striker ever isn't on this ridiculous list.

Secondly - Luis Figo ahead of Zinedine Zidane? Not sure how they can justify that, nor the reason that Luis Figo is so high.

Thirdly - Rivaldo at 14? Fair enough he's been a great player over the years but he's no-where near 14 on the 100 best players ever. I'd have him at 70ish.

Fourthly - Sylvain Wiltord Need I say more? Bahaha... just noticed Patrick Kluivert above him at 52

Fifthly - Kanu at 76

The whole list is practically rubbish, I could go on and on and on, but I wont. I'll save that for Nip

The list has to be a prank.

No-one is that thick.

At least they probably got one thing right with Pele at #1, but thats probably all.

Lev Yashin misses out, and Fabian Barthez and Edwin Van Der Sar make it... okay

diego maradona says hello from all the way down at sixth

 

[GreekLunatic]

Ronaldo at No 2. Also i think Claude Makele should be on that list.

 

[hype]

2.Ronaldo (Brazil)
3.Romario (Brazil)
4.Luis Figo (Portugal)
5.Zinedine Zidane (France)
6.Diego Maradona (Argentina)

I think they accidently flipped this part of the list.

2. Diego Maradona (Argentina)
3. Zinedine Zidane (France)
4. Luis Figo (Portugal)
5. Romario (Brazil)
6. Ronaldo (Brazil)

Sounds far more accurate, although figo is way way too high.

Pathetic list..

86. Gary Neville (England).

Oh the humanity.

 

[Benno_900]

Fabregas >>> Pele

 

[Darealrath]

Anyone bother to read this ?

"The AFS' system of awarding points for goals scored by forwards, clean sheets from defenders and honours won - including cups and caps - seems like a reasonable idea at first glance; but there are so many variables in football that their method appears more flawed than FIFA's notoriously dubious co-efficient World Rankings for national teams. "

It's flawed but at least the flaws are obvious. Interesting for sure.

86. Gary Neville (England).

Oh the humanity.

If he is in a list of the top 100 000 players of all time its a joke

 

[jod23]

Yeah i read that list a few days ago. What a joke. Made for some terrific laughs though.

 

[apollo_creed]

If Robbie Slater didn't make it then it does not have my endorsement.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Brady? Where the fcuk is Brady?

Brady > Bergkamp > Henry, let alone hacks like Thuram and Neville.
