Answer 1

Answer 2

I'd have to go with Pele:

Edson Arantes do Nascimento (born October 23, 1940 in Tres Coracoes, Brazil), best known by his nickname Pele, is a former Brazilian football player.

At 16, he became the top scorer in the league and a regular on the Brazilian national squad. While at Santos, Pele won nine Campeonato Paulistas (Sao Paulo state championships) in 1958, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1973; three Torneio Rio-Sao Paulos (Rio-Sao Paulo interstate championships) in 1959, 1963 and 1964; two Libertadores Cups (A South American international club competition broadly equivalent to the European Champions Cup) in 1962 and 1963; and two Intercontinental Cups in 1962 and 1963. During his time at Santos, Pele played alongside many gifted players, including Pepe and Coutinho.

Pele also won the Taça Brasil in 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1965; and the Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa in 1968. These two tournaments were established to provide a meritocratic Brazilian entrant for the newly founded Copa Libertadores and can be seen as forerunners of the Campeonato Brasileiro (the Brazilian national championship), although the Taca Brasil was a knockout competition.

He was a prolific and clinical finisher and exceptional at dribbling and passing. Famed for his pace, strong shot and an exceptional heading ability for a man of average Brazilian height. Pelé's technique and deft touch combined with his dribbling skills and scoring ability have been universally praised. His most spectacular signature move was probably the "bicycle kick".

Pele's goalscoring record is often reported as being 1281 goals in 1363 games.
Sports awards
He was voted athlete of the century by the International Olympic Committee in 1999 for his Olympic successes.

In December 2000, Pele was named Footballer of the Century by a "Family of Football" committee appointed by FIFA, after a Web poll favored Diego Maradona.[13] FIFA announced that a second award would be made after publishing Maradona's victory over Pelé. Critics to the poll point out that the average age of the current internet user could have favoured the idol of the 1980s[citation needed]. Allegations that the Internet poll had been bombarded by Argentine fans still remain to this day[citation needed].

In the same year, Pele received the Laureus World Sports Awards Lifetime Achievement Award from South African President Nelson Mandela.

Answer 4

Henry - he didn't perform well in the Champions League final shooting wise, but he stopped Barcelona attacking by not giving them a chance to rest using his speed and trickery. Ronaldinho was ineffective in that match, it wasn't that he was marked out of the game - he was just bad. He also flopped in the World Cup this summer, Henry wasn't spectacular either.

I'd say Henry was the better player because of this. That's my personal opinion, but I think Ronaldinho and Henry are both amazing players and there isn't much to seperate them.

Rooney and Messi will become better than both of them though I believe.

Answer 5

Present: Zidane (although he's JUST retired)

Past: George Best, unlucky that he never made the World Cup with Northern Ireland, if he had then he would have been seen as better than Maradona and Pele.

Answer 6

Cristiano Ronaldo is the best.
Ronaldinho sucked in the world cup and in the premiership finals, so did henry.

Answer 7

Undisputed Pele

Answer 8

Depends on the criteria. If you ask which player adds the most to his teams when he's on the field, then my answer is Zidane. There are better scorers and more explosive players - but Brazil can do OK without Ronaldinho, not sure where France would be without Zidane - I guess we'll see...

Answer 9

Ronaldinho without a doubt, but did not show his class in the World Cup.

Answer 10

shevchenko is past his best and rohnaldhinio goes missing in big games along with henry. I would say that the worlds best football player was a certain Mr Gerrard.

Answer 11

Pele; he was a leading scorer, helped Brazil win 3 World Cups, and other numerous feats. He is considered by many to be the best footballer of all time.
