have to disagree with you there... he hasnt made as big an impact as the others on that list have made... wat surprised me the most is he included davor suker who only performed at france 98 after which he was gone as quickly as he came up ... another surprise is that ryan giggs didnt make the list...

Giggs, Beardsley, Gascoigne? Where are they?

If Diouf was Brazilian or Italian there's no way he'd make that list. Obviously Pele doesn't want to be accused of favouring the 'big' countries so he's thrown in a few players like Diouf to balance it out a bit. The result is a crap and worthless list. There's no way Diouf deserves to be in there.

Ian Rush
Jürgen Kohler

Where was Jarizhino, one of the greatest BRAZILIAN players of all time?

No matter what kind of list you make, there will be those who deserve it and are not on it.

Maybe if he made top 3, which would include Pele, Maradona and Cruyff than noone would complain. Otherwise there are bound to be complaints.

I do think, however, this list is a pretty close approximation.

The uefa golden jubilee top 50 thing is a joke as well. I hate these things, theyre all popularity contests ffs. Beckhams the 21st best european player ever?? Yeah right.
