To be quite frank 90% of the suggestions on this thread have been simply moronic.

Example: Chrstiano Ronaldo overrated?!?!?! rolleyes.gif
42 goals last season tells you a different story.

Aye good call, rolleyes.gif

Great playes never have tournements when they fail to live up to Hype.
Henry (Euro 2000 onwards, Ronaldinho (WC 2006) etc etc

Top scorer in last years champions league final, plus a goal in the final also tells a different story.

Ronaldinho = cant remember the last time i seen him run with the ball, lazy lazy lazy

Zlatan Ibrahimovich = lazy aswel and thinks the sun shines fi his arse!

Steven Fletcher = real madrid haha he wouldny get a game for celtic or rengers and am a hibs fan!


Andrei Arshavin = there is a reason no big club will pay that much for him cos he is not that good


Owen Hargreaves = he cant pass well runs about like a headless chicken, ok he can take a free kick tho!!!!


as for c.ronaldo haha ur jokin eh ok he never had a gret euros but evry1 has a bad few games the boy is pure class!!!

Can't believe I have forgotten:

Roberto Carlos
DancingInTheStreets
I've tried to go for players who cost obscene amounts of money (wages or fees) without ever really meriting it.

Michael Ballack - Just an average player. Never worth 30m.

Nicolas Anelka - His heart just isn't in it. And I hate his brother too.

Frank Totti - Prima donna of the highest order. The boy's got a bit of talent but he's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.

Raul - see Totti.

Guti - is he still around? I used to laugh at him. A lot.

Cant believe some of the suggestions on here though.
Surely you cant say someone is under-rated if they inspire their teams to win trophies!

Lampard - scores 20+ goals a season from midfield almost every year and has plenty of medals for his efforts.

Gerrard - laugh.gif Liverpool are nothing without him.
Single-handedly dragged them to the Champions League trophy.

Barry Ferguson - won the league for Rangers with 30 goals from midfield a few years back.
Doesn't get forward as much now but he still controls matches.
Let's wait and see how well Scotland keep the ball without him on Saturday!

We might not keep the ball as much, but we'll sure as hell pass it forward more often and look like creating more chances.

Forgot about all of them, good choices.

5. Aiden McGeady - decent player, but needs to remember he has team-mates when he goes on one of his mazy runs. Hopefully that will come in time.

4. Barry Ferguson - World-class? I've just never seen it

3. Emile Heskey - couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo, but has somehow been capped nearly 50 times by England. Go figure...

2. Roberto Carlos - a free kick wizard we were led to believe after his peach against France in Le Tournoi in 1997 - never to be seen again.

1. David Beckham - has no pace, can't chase back, can't tackle, can't run at players, can't header, his wife's ugly, he shagged Rebecca Loos, earned over 100 caps for his country and made a fortune in football from just being able to take free kicks (very well, in fairness). Not bad for a one-trick pony

You call Ballack average then laugh at Guti, Totti and Raul only to claim Barry Ferguson and Lampard are great players.

5 - Michael Owen - great potential when he was young but never lived up to it.

4 - Barry Ferguson - doesn tackle, doesnt get forward, what does he do?

3 - Darren Bent - £16million? wot were spurs thinkin?

2 - Zlatan Ibrahimovic - just cant see what all the fuss is about

1 - Kirk Broadfoot - why is he an old firm player? why is he in the scotland squad? Why is even a pro?

I say Ronaldo is overrated because people say he's the best player in the world and I don't think he is.

He was pitiful at Euro 2008 I thought. Surely you should be judged on that rather than by how many goals you score against Middlesborough and Bolton et al?

People saying Ballack is over rated are fucking stupid. He is sheer class.

Ronaldo at no.1 easily. All we need is one of those number 5 gongas that plays CB to kick him the whole game..

.. And nobody say he will just skin him because he won't. Smallest bit of contact and Ronaldo is down like a sack.

I partly agree but some players win World Player of the Year, just on the back of a good big tournament.

Cannavaro didn't have a great season but won the award because of Italy's defensive record in 6/7 games in the World Cup. Thierry Henry should have won the award at least once, but then players like fat Ronaldo have a good world cup, and then it's snatched from him.

I find the decision making flawed, and very rarely agree with the panel's decision, minus the glorious Zidane years. He was brilliant during the season, as well as at the World Cup/Euro's.

Messi is the best player in the world

Ballack kept Chelsea in the hunt for the title last season, hardly shite.
He has also scored 38 goals at international level, from midfield, which is hardly bad, especially when you look at Miroslav Klose, who is a striker, he has scored 41 in 83.
Ballack shite?
I think not.
