I don't get this obsession with Zidane. You might say my memory is a bit off, but I cannot recall him being THAT fucking good. He was great don't get me wrong, but I can't remember him being as good as say a prime Ronaldinho, Brazilian Ronaldo, Portugese Ronaldo, Messi, etc.
>picking a player you didn't grow up idolizing
plz...
>>68868549
He was great in big games which is why everyone remembers him so fondly
Very inconsistent league player but was on another level in big games. I hate it's a meme now because his performance vs Brazil in 2006 got me into the sport more than casually
>>68868209
>that 6-0 against man city
Pretty disappointing season at the end of the day, but those where the days. Makes me pretty mad how City is seemingly respected/not hated by a majority of people while Chelsea is STILL under constant hatred from everyone. At least Chels was hovering around the top 4 for a while before getting bought. City was subject to losing 6-0 to Chelsea and 8-0 to Middlesbrough in that same season.
Actually there is a rumour that Roman only ever bought the club because Chelsea scraped to a top four finish on that final day against Liverpool in 2003.

It's not only the goal itself, Rivaldo scored a hat-trick in that 3-2 match including THAT goal in the last minute, qualifying Barça for Champions League and saving them from bankruptcy.

I don't think someone from Norway have watched Bordeaux vs AC Milan (1996) or France vs Portugal (2000).
Here, we did.
But when people compare a midfielder to a striker you know they are a joke.
>>68868651
Okay first off all, mate, what the fuck is up with the passively aggressive attitude? I was hoping for some real answers and to open a dialogue and this is your answer. Second comparing ability has nothing to do with position, how can you not understand that? If player X is a midfielder and Y is a striker, and player Y is slightly better in his position than player X is at his, that makes player Y a better footballer. How is that hard to understand. Every player out there is comparable in ability, no matter where on the pitch they play. You'd agree Chiellini is a better player than Bebe right? Right.
>>68868715
Forever and always
It was a joy watching him play when I was younger
SUPERKEV
>>68868715
The thread was about who is your favorite player. a French guy (not me) answered Zidane and you act surprised.
I propose you to watch France vs Portugal from Euro 2000, probably a better game than all the boring games Euro 2016 has to offer, maybe you will understand why people like this player.
You can also watch Bordeaux/Milan from 1996 or Brazil/France from 2006, twenty years between both but always the same talent. In the 2006 game you could also compare his game with the one produced by Roni and Ronaldo.
Zidane was strong against the strong and always delivered with his NT (see WC 2002, no zidane, no party), that's why we love him here, is that hard to understand?

I don't know that much about soccer, but Zidane is my favorite player simply because of the way that he moves. It's like watching a poem on two feet, and that is beautiful. His roulette is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in the sport.
Roberto Baggio
Bergkamp
R9
Baresi
Modelled myself on him by kicking players off the pitch.
who does your father rate?
my father is a 60 yo nostalgia 'back in the day it was better' dude and the only active players he rates are Iniesta, James, Suárez, Robben, Pirlo and Mascherano
>>68868549
>I can't remember him being as good as say a prime Ronaldinho
>there is people that ACTUALLY believe this
>>68869842
But anon your dad is right in the past footie was better, defense actually could play defense, offense was creative, lack of modern PEDS make smarter players because they coudnt run the field like stupid monkeys for 90 minutes.
Basically
Pele Garrincha Zico R9, Zago, Taffarel etc.>>>Kaka, Neymar, Hulk, David Luiz, Marcelo, Alves, etc.
Webm related and Kaka, yes i'm boring. I loved Gattuso too
Henrik Larsson. He was the ultimate professional and a really clever forward, I've met him and he's a really nice down-to-earth dude too.
Literally every nigger had this haircut at school in 2002.
>>68870610
lol what grade??? high school???
retarded chavs???
riquelme, le tissier, bergkamp...anyone who makes GOAT technique look easy. the lazier the better.
Jari Litmanen is definitely my all time favorite, but that's because I'm a biased mongol.
Patrick Vieira is my favorite non-mongol player.
BR Ronaldo
That game against Baggio's Italy...
just an immense presence
Robben.
>>68871132
who
Paul Scholes. I unironically think hes the greatest player of all time, mostly do to his overall approach to football.
>>68869842
>who does your father rate?
Daniel Brailovsky. Played in the Mexican league.
as for me, Batigol was a beast and everyone rated Ronaldo but my idol was this >>68868229
It wasn't easy getting international footy back in the day in the USA so the best I got were highlights in the Mexican channels especially with based Jose Ramon Fernandez's DeporTV.

Good times man.
I like players that don't disappears when the going gets tough, so people like Iniesta, Suarez, Mascherano... currently I don't have many favourite players tbqh
>>68870802
The correctist answer
Funny thing is, at the beginning of the WC1998, ALL the other 8 year old kids had their favourite player as Ronaldo.
>>68872577
Probably because Ronaldo was far better than Zidane at the time and Zidane did nothing besides get suspended before the Finals.
Aimar, D'alessandro and Riquelme
>all the people ITT who don't rate Zidane
>>68872160
why would you /thread OP's question? kys my man
>>68872644
Should have never won it over Ronaldo that year. Amazing that he won that on the basis of one performance.

>>68872684

Stay bootyheated amerilard
>>68872732
he went against Ronaldo in both Serie A and World Cup that year and won both competitions while Ronaldo choked in the most important game
/sp/ is pretty retarded, on one hand you make fun of Tsunaldo for statpading against weak teams and choking in big games, on the other hand you claim Zidane was overrated because he was a genius in big games but lazy against literally whos

cannavaro is not a meme and henry didn't deserve to win it anyway
>>68872863
>implying Henry should've won in 2006
Personally I would've given it to Pirlo. Ronaldinho was amazing until May, then he started to lose form rapidly and was meh for the rest of the year. Henry? Arsenal was terrible in the league for the whole year and he was clearly tired at the world cup not being even near his best form.
>>68868549
Won Euro, world cup, has been champion a couple of times and CL.
>Port Ronaldo and Messi didn't win anything with their country.
But still Messi is the GOAT, with Maradonna from 1990 and Cruyff really close.
>>68872899
>Personally I would've given it to Pirlo
>>68872805
Zidane was suspended for the final group stage game and the first knockout game against Paraguay cause he stamped on some arab. He did literally nothing the entire tournament before the Finals as the France GOAT level defense carried them.
Also the only reason Juventus won the league that year over Inter was cause of refball. Ronaldo nearly led a far inferior team to the title.
>>68868549
No we're not having this discussion again

>France vs Portugal from Euro 2000

You know that Queen song? How does it go? Oh yeah, "no time for losers cause we are the champions".

People still are mad at that to this day hahaha
But that's why I liked him...he was super committed to the end and he made sure that goal went in no matter what

What's your favorite meme player?
Mine's Gilardino
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8U2FaA3_JU
>>68866370
These two.
Klaas-jan Huntelaar. No question. He was so fucking good at ajax.
Ibrahimovic is my second favorite player. He has it all: pace, strength, headers, dribbling, passing and of course crazy acrobatic goals and passes
>>68873706
Guti. Definitely Guti.
>>68874179
Guti was not a meme m8. His technique was the real deal.

meh… that's like your opinion i liked his style of play. it was entertaining as fuck and it reminded me of early Ronaldo or Weah (keeping it Milan related) with those darting runs with the ball close to his feet

Alen Boksic
For me the answer is simple. For me the answer is Arjen Robben. A player who seems to be playing a completely different sport to everyone around him. He gets the ball and defenders panic immediately. They start lining up in front of him to block his path. He places the ball on the outside of his left for and starts moving towards them menacingly. A small trickle of urine makes its way down the inside thigh of the left back opposing him, who takes a tiny step backwards to buy himself some time. Robbin keeps coming, the left foot kissing the ball with every step cocked on a 45 degree angle. Robben is going to cut inside. This is inevitable. The only question in the mind of the backtracking defender is "when?". But as Robben advances further, doubt starts to penetrate the defender's mind. "What if he doesn't cut in side?" "What if this time he is going to-" and in that moment Robben cuts inside and all is lost.
