ITT: Underrated players in the history of soccer
>>64264693
>Francescoli
>underrated
wat
Diego Milito looks a bit different there
These two.
>>64264704
do you people even know what underrated means?
Is that Diego Milito on charlie?
>>64264716
They're underrated in Europe.
>>64264741
You mean overrated.
Rivaldo
This nigger was legit at least as good as Zidane in the late 90s and he's rarely mentioned in all time great discussions
>>64264693
>>64264704
>>64264725
none of these are underrated
You now remember based camoranesi
>>64264741
>memes
By posting a nigger from Chelsea you reminded me of another gravely underrated player.
Marcel Desailly
One of the GOAT defenders of the last 25 years and I feel like no one ever remembers him
>>64264741
>>64264780
>>64264783
>>64264767
none of these are underrated
>>64264768
Negro please. Deco is atleast a top 10 midfielder of all time. He may not have national team success but he sure did perform at club level
>>64264731
no they're not.
Zinedine zidane literally named his son Enzo.
Salas was considered pretty much the best Lazio player at the time, and Zamorano is shit so it doesn't matter.
>This butthurt Argie
>>64264816
I'm not him, but deco wasn't underrated at all, people knew he was good.
why the fuck would you assume that if he wasn't underrated he was overrated?
>>64264832
not even the same guy lmao
>>64264816
>Deco is atleast a top 10 midfielder of all time
lmao
>>64264804
>Desailly
>not underrated
Wat? He was part of the GOAT NT backline and was one of the best CB/DMs of the 90s. He won the World Cup, a Euro and 2 CLs with different teams and barely anyone remembers that he even existed
>this thread triggers the Argie
>>64264869
>barely anyone remembers that he even existed
Speak for yourself
He's obviously a top 10 all times defender
>>64264780
ahahaha he was legit garbage
>>64264869
>barely anyone remembers that he even existed
again, not him, but this is factually wrong.
>>64264889
He has more WC titles than most Brits alive
>>64264845
>why the fuck would you assume that if he wasn't underrated he was overrated?
What? I've never seen him mentioned amongst Laudrup, Zico, Zidane, Xavi and the others when in fact he was much more talented than the lot of them.
>>64264849
(You)
>>64264871
m8, in an "underrated players" you're supposed to post players that people don't even know they exist, or don't remember.
literally every player posted here is considered to be great, this makes no sense.
Zico
>>64264915
>I only socialize on 4chan
that's it m8
this based nigger right here
was my favorite player of the 2000's with Gerrard
>>64264886
>>64264895
Make a "GOAT Defenders" thread in a couple of days. I bet Desailly will barely get any mentions
>>64264943
>literally called "the white Pelé"
I'm gonna leave now, you people are fucking retarded.

Based Socrates
>>64265014
hello reddit
Argentina is right though. 99% of the players in here are universally recognised as greats or as having been world class at some point.
>>64265014
I mean this retard. Socrates is considered one of the best midfielders ever.
Paul Scholes
>>64265073
>le fake quotes man
>>64265073
But he's highly rated
I remember Maradona in an interview saying something like: "the best player after me? that ginger lad from United"
>>64265166
Can't see Diego saying '" Ginger Lad '" ever.
>>64264956
Couldn't cut it in the spl. Rated accurately imo

Alex Frei was really good. Being injured half a season every season made people not realise that though.
Estou decepcionado minha senpaiília. por que você ligue para o nosso amado esporte pelo nome que os inferiores usar?
We all drew a line on our chin when we were young to imitate Robert Pires

based Romford Pele
David Suazo, the greatest north american player ever
>>64265511
what ever happened to that nigga?
i remember he went to inter and was scoring lots of goals in like 2007/08, and then he disappeared
>>64265511
>the greatest north american player ever
>no George Weah
>>64265450
I studied Portuguese mate, it's just that you interpreted differently because I wrote using the original one, not the Brazilian version.
>>64265557
you wot, George Weah was from Liberia.
>>64265560
I was just messing you, it's quite decent. But "ligue para" doesn't make sense there, you made a literal translation; try "chama" instead.
Also "usam", not "usar".
>>64265553
Couldn't find space in the team and got loaned to benfica where he got crippled with injuries and basically his career finished there
>>64265557
That's african
Based Peter Beardsley
>>64265623
Ayy lmao I actually used Google translate. Thanks for cosign senpaiília
Johan Micoud
Steve McManaman
Beppe Signori
think Nedved is pretty underrated lads, just the thought of the Nedved-Zidane midfield at Juventus still makes my peepee tingle
Always wondered if he would have found a place in the Galacticos squad
>>64265763
>just the thought of the Nedved-Zidane midfield at Juventus still makes my peepee tingle
But Nedved was bought after Zidane was sold to Madrid
>>64265763
>think Nedved is pretty underrated
he won a fucking ballon d'or
>>64264704
>Za Sa
>>64264725

>>64264762

None of you know what that word means.... or maybe I fell for the bait and should be ashamed.
>>64265557
>No one else got this joke
Fuck. Argie dont despair, i got the joke and keked heartily.
>>64265243
that a joke m8?
>>64265893
>None of you know what that word means....
>Rivaldo is an all time great and a top 3 player of the 90s decade
>Rivaldo is rarely recognised as such despite all his achievements
>therefore Rivaldo is underrated
Also everyone claims that Ronaldo was the best player on the 2002 WC team when in fact, Rivaldo had a much better tournament. Further proving that he is underrated.
Underrated doesn't mean completely forgotten, it means being considered worse that you actually were. Which Rivaldo definitely is
>>64265944
Rivaldo is recognized, the deal is he's not charismatic and doesn't like media exposure.
>>64265944
I don't mean to be snide, but i'd like to know where it is you get your footie commentary from, as most knowledgeable observers make sure to mention Rivaldo when discussing all time greats. Also >>64265996
>>64265557
ayyy
>>64265996
>Rivaldo is recognized
Not as much as he should be
>>64266039
>i'd like to know where it is you get your footie commentary from
From the experts who voted for the 2002 WC Golden Ball
>1st place for a goalkeeper whose mistake cost his team the final (although the vote might have taken place before that so at least he deserves a top 3 spot)
>2nd spot for a Rivaldo's teammate who was not as good as Rivaldo
>3rd spot for some meme Korean to recognise the hosts getting refballed to the semi
>no spot for Rivaldo, the best player of the tournament
UNDERRATED
>>64266108
Everyone knows Rivaldo. If you're going to say an underrated Barcelona player from the 90s, go for Hristo Stoichkov or Robert Prosinecki
Micoud, he was kicking it when I started watching Bundesliga, loved his play.
>>64264906
>this flag
>this opinion
he's legit shit. good feet, but no agressiveness, not cut for european football
>>64266108
......fuck me, you are one determined autist. If Rivaldo is underrated then so is Henry. (Really should have gotten that Balon D'Or in 2006, no shade to Cannavarro but cmon pham)
>>64264704
God the 90's uniforms were so shit. They fit like a garbage bag.
>>64266108
Kahn was player of the tournament and you're a retard if you think otherwise desu
>>64266169
Once again, just because everyone knows him doesn't mean he's not underrated. Everyone knows him and yet, he's rarely regarded as highly as he should be.
Being underrated isn't just about not being known
>>64266245
>speaking ill of GOAT baggy kits.
Do you even have a sense of style? Do you even nostalgia m8?
Pay your respects to the best Dutch forward
Kluivert who?
>people who think underrated means being an obscure faggot that nobody has every heard of
>people who think well known players can't be underrated
every. single. time
>>64266340
....Jesus christ. I came into this thread to post Roy Makaay, and you beat me by seconds. I don't hear much talk about him despite his great Super Depor and Bayern days.
>>64266368
Why didn't makaay even get called up for the 2006 WC ? They only had van nistelrooy up front
>>64266337
>Do you even nostalgia m8
All the time, just not when it comes to those kits. Even nostalgia can't help those
where's rooney
>>64266413
Maybe it's just me, but the baggy kits have an overpowering charm that wins my approval. And they look so comfy
>>64266464
It's pure nostalgia. They're terrible. Most things in the 90's sucked. Music, clothes, etc.
>>64266258
>shit the bed in the final
nah m8
>>64266488
This. late 90s/early 00s was the worst period in human history. I'd rather live in prehistoric times and get eaten by a dinosaur than go back to the year 1997.
>inb4 some autist mentions that dinosaurs and humans never existed simultaneously
>>64266488
>implying the 90s didn't produce the best Trance, House, DnB, and Ambient
>>64266464
>That hoverhand
Rivaldo is shit
>oh i am so good i won 2002
yeah ok autist enjoy single handely fucking up your club
>>64264693
I remember one of his managers saying that if he was Brazilian he'd have been playing for a top club.
>>64266552
Literally who the fuck is that
>>64266488
>music
objectively wrong
>>64266540
Funny because the best players from that French generation (Zidane, Henry, Trezeguet, Desailly, etc) weren't real Frenchmen
>>64266540
Thought that was Trezeguet for a second
>>64266540
No it didn't, but I was going to mention to >>64266515 that the only saving grace about the last 90's was the rave scene just exploded around that time in Toronto. The parties were insane, and the MDMA around that time was amazing. Never got a shit pill, even if I bought off random dudes. Had a fucking blast in the late 90's
>>64264817
Salas played alongside Nedved, Nesta, Crespo and Veron. He was not regarded as Lazio's best player.
>>64266596
Mehdi Mahdavikia
>>64264969
Underrated is not the same thing as forgotten or overlooked
>>64266602
>states his opinion
>objectively wrong
My opinion is just that, but at least most people agree with me. 90's music was bad.
>>64266488
>implying the 90s didn't see the GOAT supermodels
>>64266658
>most people
I think pretty much everyone outside of 16 year olds from /mu/ will tell you 90s music > 00s/10s
>>64266658
No, most people won't reply to retarded manchild.
the one and only gary medel
>>64266658
..........that may be true for other genres, but as someone who DJs professionally, i'll tell you that many people in EDM agree that the 90s was the decade in which Electronic found it's form and reached it's artisitic peak. That spectacular explosion of creativity that subsequent decades are still trying to match.
Samuel Eto'o. Was pretty much the biggest factor in the victories for his side in all 3 (three) CL finals he was in.
>>64266737
I will give you that, the 90's progressive trance/house was pretty damn good.
>Sasha/Digweed at their peak
How come Chilean World Cup and Copa heroes (Jara, Diaz, Vargas) don' even make it to the starting XI for mediocre Bundesliga teams?
>>64266773
>Sasha & Digweed
The kekworthy thing here is that they are ones who are credited with the over-commercialization and deterioration of Trance. PvD, AvB, ATB, and Ferry Corsten did their jobs well though.
Also
>90s Italo House
absolutely sublime.
>>64265379
Of course I do. Fucking based.
>>64265441
Rated a lot here.
>>64265728
>Jogan Micoud
This, nowadays City would spend 50 million for him.
>>64266772
Everybody agree he's one of the greatest strikers of his generation. At least I hope. Though some guy argued once that Villa was better than him, it was funny how wrong he was.
Here's an absolutely underrated player. Hardly anyone remember him outside for his current coaching role but he was an amazing RB. He also looked like an homeless man.
>>64264762
This fucking Zidane meme has gone too far. Rivaldo was far better than Zidane.
>>64266772
>Was pretty much the biggest factor in the victories for his side in all 3 (three) CL finals he was in.
That's simply untrue. Larsson and Valdes were better in 06 (Valdes deserves a mention ITT just for this final, no one ever says how great he was), Xavi and maybe Messi were better in 09 and Sneijder, Milito and the entire defence were better in 10.
He was still one of the GOAT strikers of recent times
>>64266808
>The kekworthy thing here is that they are ones who are credited with the over-commercialization and deterioration of Trance
Maybe, but they were fucking great, especially Digweed.
>PvD, AvB, ATB, and Ferry Corsten did their jobs well though.
Please don't compare those shit-tier producers to the above mentioned
>>64265379
Everybody knows that nigger. Him and Nuno Gomes were Portugal's only strikers for a decade
Dis nigga.
Dis nigga right here.
>tfw only 3 (three) Balon D'Ors
>tfw only 3 (three) CLs
>>64266873
fuck off already, you're becoming really tiring with your obsession with zidane
>inb4 hurrrr you're a sandnigger
>>64266596
He played against you lot in the 06 WC m9, though he was slightly past it and half his team was returning from injury. Not a great memory for me. Fucking Bravo
>>64266928
Everyone rates him highly as one of the best strikers ever though. It's only casuals who don't recognise him.
>>64266873
Bro, both overrating Zidane an calling him a meme player are two of /sp/'s greatest memes. All you can do is to choose a side.
Dario Hubner.
Patrick Kluviert.
George Weah.
Fabrizo Ravenlli
Giaunluca Vialli.
Leonardo (Brazil).
Costacurta.
Ayala.
David Trezugeut.
>>64266921
>Everybody knows that nigger.
>I know him therefore he's not underrated
Once again, being known doesn't make someone not underrated
>>64266928
Most people recognise him as one of the GOATs though
>>64266973
I know, my post was baity shitpost. There is no way that Van Basten could be considered underrated
>>64266996
Kaka. Nigger is 32 and was insane, but he won't be remembered.
>you now remember Robinho
>>64266996
This post is pure nostalgia
>>64266934
Literally the second time I've ever posted about Zidane being a meme. He was a world class midfielder, but he is remember with the rosiest of fucking rose tinted glasses. People forget that he disappeared in more big games than when he showed up, but when he did show he was fuggin GOAT, but consistency is the key to being GOAT af pham and ZIdane didn't have it.
Also hurr you're a shitskin desuuuu~
>>64267031
>but he is remember with the rosiest of fucking rose tinted glasses. People forget that he disappeared in more big games than when he showed up
this is just an anti reddit propaganda.
I don't like reddit myself, however if you look closely, France played 2 WC finals, Zidane starred in both.
in those 2 finals, france scored 4 goals.
3 of those 4 goals were Zidane's.
yeah, he disappears during big games.
>b-but the champions league
just shut the fuck up about it.
literally the only bad thing about him is that he got mad really easy, and it was very easy to get him red carded.
>>64267580
you're literally confirming what the guy above you said
>highlighting and praising to no end every good big game that he had
>just shut the fuck up about any bad big game that he had
>>64266808
I'm blue da ba de da ba da
>>64267933
congrats on missing the point.
if he had at least 1 good performance on 1 big game, then he didn't disappear.
people should just stop saying this.
>>64267975
>if he had at least 1 good performance on 1 big game, then he didn't disappear.
That logic is literally worse than Zidane's performance against Dortmund in 1997
>>64267023

JAJAJAJAJJAJA

on repeat
Paul Scholes is criminally underrated
>>64264795
omg I totally forgot
>>64265014
in what sense that he and like zico didn't win the world cup
>>64264704
Salas was shit
>>64266876
Nigger in 09 Manchester United was raping Barcelona for those first few minutes until Eto'o got a fucking ball and took it into the box and single handedly fucked united over into playing defensively. Everyone talked about Messi, Xavi and Iniesta being amazing in that game when they didn't do shit. Messi scored a fucking header when United had completely given up.

>i've watched the greatest 100 prem goals and he scored a couple of worldies and i like to act like a hipster
ftfy
Raul and Valeron.
Such a shame they weren't in Spain's team when it started winning everything.
>>64272721
Raul was team cancer
It's no coincidence that when he left they won everything
>>64272670
Fuck you, man. Le Tissier was brilliant. If it weren't for Shearer leaving them, the Saints would have had a core to build upon proper. He's lost his luster after the 90s, but for his time he was a walking highlight reel.
Crying shame he didn't do more with his career. It was like watching Di Canio turn out for West Ham.
>>64272721
2002 was the best Spain team. I have no idea why South Korea got so much going for them.
>>64272738
Yeah, but to think that such a goalscorer was also such a black cat, man, it's beyond me.
>>64272774
>I have no idea why South Korea got so much going for them.
South Korea were the joint hosts, so the refs were probably told/paid to favour them massively.
>>64272774
>2002 was the best Spain team
>Spain has a team that enjoyed success previously unseen
>hurr some random quater final losers were better
I literally can not think of a more tryhard hipster opinion
>>64264693
Jari Litmanen
>>64272837
I don't think he's underrated to be honest with you family, he's very well regarded at least in europe
Riquelme was pretty underrated here in England. I know he won poty in Spain at least once though
>>64272987
Probably because Riquelme isn't a box-to-box midfielder that runs his socks off.
Was Dado Prso any good
What the fuck is wrong with you 4chan?

It's not blocked in china senpai. But it is effectively blocked because reCaptcha is owned by google, which China hates. Which means you can browse but not post. I gave in a bought 4chan pass to bypass captcha.

Would Michael Owen be considered over/underrated?
>>64273526
Overrated. He was an insanely talented striker who had the potential to be one of the world's best but got ruined by injuries and he was essentially done at the age of 25.
The key word here is potential. He had the potential to be one of the world's best while some people act like he was the world's greatest striker in the early 00s when in fact, he never managed to score 20 league goals in a season.
And he won the Ballon d'Or which was a joke

Childhood favourite.
They say his career would skyrocket if we had gone to a big team, but he felt the colours. Mad respect tbqh
>>64273626
He wanted to see Messi fail. It's a threat to his status as a god in the common argentinian mind.
Should've been a starter in 2002.

we also had Van Persie, Vennegoor, Kuijt and Babel in the squad. Makaay was much better than the last three so I don't really remember why he wasn't even in the running
I do remember a lot of discussion about whether Huntelaar should have been called up but I think Van Basten considered him to be too young

Makaay was way better than van Persie in 2006
>>64273730
but if I recall correctly Makaay always sucked ass for the NT and had a Heskey tier scoring record
306 goals in 561 games across all competitions.

Why is Gerard Depardieu wearing a newcastle kit?
welbeck or sturridge
>>64273734
he never really played, he always had either kluivert, bergkamp or van nistelrooij in front of him
he had a pinchhitter role which isnt fit for him at all, hes a fucking poacher and one of the best ever desu
inzaghi tier

People for some reason think this team is 'average'.

>hes legit shit
>not cut for euro football
>scores over 10 a season in Portugal
euros are just as clueless as americans it seems, though I agree he is not underrated
>>64273893
I just looked it up. He had 43 caps and 6 goals.
That's pathetic, he was a poacher who did not score. No wonder he stopped getting call ups
