as good as gerrard is, i have to say nedved. european player of the year doesn't go to just anyone these days, you have to be GREAT. he was amazing, and still can be. so i pick nedved, although it's close.
Tevez. I think he is more effective. Messi tends ti dribble lots and end up running out of room, a bit like Rooney at times. Tevez is a very classy goalscorer. Both have bright futures ahead of them.
robinho. there's really no reason martins shouldn't be just as good, but he's not making the best of his situation right now. robinho, despite being on a *questionable* team, is scoring incredible goals and making very nice plays.
messi vs. rooney (judging only by their last 5 games)
messi has been better than rooney only in the last 5 games since messi is a better dribbler and he can still improve more than rooney can. rooney sometimes passes in a bad while, but then he improves more than he was before
two back midfields viera and makelele VS. two back midfields Gerrard and Lampard
I think if you are comparing the French mdifeld to the English, then the French would usually come out on top. Gerrard and Lampard are never as influential for England as they are for their clubs. The current formation restricts them both as well. The next England manager needs to be more adventurous if he is to get the best out of them.
gilardino. reyes is starting to fade away at arsenal, as far as i know. i haven't actually seen him play in ages. gilardino is doing well for himself at milan, and he's getting more time, so i pick him.
crespo vs. drogba (as in, who should start for chelsea?)
nice one. i'd have to pick rooney. just by the way he's playing right now. adriano is more inconsistent, whereas rooney can play well in almost every game. that's really the only thing that separates them.
I like this one. Im going with Drogba. Both are forwards so they should be fast, but i think Drogba is the faster of the two. I also think that his skill level is above Ibrahimovic's.
Nice matchup.
Now i leave you with an old-timed battle.
Pele vs Maradona
Maybe a good matchup maybe not.
"Coaches can make you smarter. But no one can teach you to play." - Thierry Henry
Pele just. Maradona was a great player but he only won 1 world cup compared to pele's 3. He scored over 1,200 goals in his career as well. People say that he never played in europe where defences are a lot more solid but there wasn't as much of a difference as there is now. Also I think pele was much more of a team player and his passing and long range shooting were amazing.
