I've never understood people who get off saying "xxxxx sucks" in baseball or soccer threads. Who cares what you think? I think NASCAR is the most God awful shit on earth but I don't find random NASCAR threads to post stupid comments in.

So many fucking Ronaldo's.

I thought there was some baller-ass Ronaldo for Brazil like 10 years ago who was the best of all time.

Where's he at?

3/2/2010 10:05:39 AM

The only sport I actively seek out threads to shit on is the WNBA

I encourage you all to do the same


As far as the list, and this is going strictly from my FIFA experience, no way there is that much seperation between Anelka and Drogba...they aren't quite interchangeable, but its more Michael and Scottie than Michael and Horace Grant the list would have you believe

3/2/2010 10:08:32 AM

^^there was. he still plays in brazil, but he's def not one of the current top 50 players in the world anymore.

3/2/2010 10:13:51 AM

^^^he turns 34 this year....you cant be the best forever, especially after 3 severe knee injuries

3/2/2010 10:19:55 AM

I am not sure why people think Xavi is better than Iniesta. He ain't.


And I'd move Higuain up about 8 places. No way Mascherano is better than John Terry, or as much as i hate to say it, even Ashley Cole.


Evra needs to be up in the 20s somewhere.

3/2/2010 10:32:14 AM

well i wasnt gonna be too serious in this thread...but essien does not deserve to be where he is...hes prob played 30 games in the last 3 years


fabregas should be in the top 10. arsenal are no where without him

[Edited on March 2, 2010 at 10:38 AM. Reason : f]

3/2/2010 10:35:16 AM

wait i just realized arshavin is not on the list, didnt watch him much this year but he did very well last year, i'd put him in my top 20

its more like anelka is the rick fox to drogba's kobe

3/2/2010 10:56:00 AM

Torres is better than Drogba.

Gerrard is way too high.


and if we're being current, Rooney Tunes is #1.

[Edited on March 2, 2010 at 11:04 AM. Reason : .]

3/2/2010 11:04:03 AM

I dunno, I'm ok with that top 3 being as it is.


Maybe you could move it around, maybe not. Depends on the day.

3/2/2010 11:13:08 AM

lol arshavin had 2, maybe 3 good games last season when he moved to arsenal...hes had at most 3 good games this season too. he is one of those guys who disappears for games at a time. he doesnt need to be anywhere near this list.

torres, this year, is not better than drogba. not even close. drogba and rooney have been unstoppable on the field. torres has been unstoppable in the infirmary.

you could say the same about ronaldo with his injury plagued season but he has scored more goals than games played i believe. anyway, rooney should def be ahead of ronaldo by this season alone.

patrice evra is better than cashley cole...

hate chiellini but he is a lot better than 49th.

not sure what benzema has done in madrid to be on this list.

kaka is riding off the fumes of like 5 years ago to be this high on the list

everytime ive seen sneijder play, which is in champs league (highest competition) he has been great. could make a case he should be higher

going off this year again, tevez should prob be higher cause he has single handedly kept man city tied or ahead of a lot of opponents in the EPL

anyone watch barca much this year? has henry really been great enough to be in the top 50??

lol mascherano? lol

im gonna lol at landon donovan too. hes the best american...not so sure about 50th best in the world

[Edited on March 2, 2010 at 11:30 AM. Reason : .]

3/2/2010 11:29:41 AM

that list is laughable.

3/2/2010 11:38:15 AM

I'm not advocating him to be top 50 or anything but Masch is underrated as hell

3/2/2010 12:57:33 PM

Arshavin plays for Russia who failed to qualify. Perhaps this is why he nor Zlatan, who's country also failed to qualify, aren't on here. Also, no Schweinsteiger is the real travesty.

FYI

Nobody wants to hear a self-proclaimed redneck's opinion on soccer.

Ever.

3/2/2010 3:04:27 PM

most people just don't wanna hear about soccer...like ever

3/2/2010 3:06:30 PM

^^ Agreed. Especially one that reads like a retarded second grader posted it.

3/2/2010 3:08:50 PM

^^ You realize the entire world watches soccer right?

lol

3/2/2010 3:10:17 PM

^^^I think like most rednecks, when he says "I", he's referring to himself and his similar-minded kin-folk.

3/2/2010 3:14:14 PM

To be fair, to most rednecks, "the world" only includes those states south of the Mason-Dixon line.

yeah, apparently since it's the cool thing to do in Sports Talk, I'm just gonna start going into threads of sports I neither play nor like and start shitting them up.

3/2/2010 7:20:34 PM

well you dont have to worry about getting suspended or anything..........

3/2/2010 7:22:11 PM

I love how some people have to let you know their opinion on something that they were never asked to discuss in the first place.

Friend 1: That movie was great wasn't it?
Friend 2: Yeah, it was.
Random Stranger: O HAI GUISE, YOU DON'T KNOW ME, BUT IT SUCKED!



BY THE WAYYYYYYYY.

Players too high on that list:

Kaka
Essein
Buffon (is this list from 4 years ago?)
Klose (ditto)


Players not high enough on that list:

Tevez
Aguero
Anelka

And I agree with kiljadn about Iniesta > Xavi.
