Who are your top 5 overated and underated players in Professional soccer?

Answer 1

Overated:

1) Landon Donovan - Proven to be trash outside the US, with his failed attempts at Leverkusen.
2) David Beckham -
Past his best, doesn't bring much to the team anymore, but alot of people still thinks he's the best in the world.
3) Raul - Absolutely terrible, but plays because he's "Raul"
4) Jens Lehmann - Crap, good Arsenal/German defence helped him out he's a total nutcase.
5) Dider Drogba - Garbage how he plays for Chelsea is beyond me they have world class players everywhere expect Drogba, he has no touch, and can't finish.

Underated:

1) Rafeal Van Der Vaart - Look what he's done to Hamburg
2) Teemu Tianio - Everyone talks about Davids, Carrick, Keane, Defoe etc. But Tottenhams best player last year was Tianio, great player.
3) Aaron Lennon - Great WC, showed he is far more of a threat then Beckham (see above)
4) Craig Bellamy - Great pace, great player can finally show he is meant to be at a top club.
5) Matthew Taylor - Still young but almost single handedly carried Pompey away from relegation (with O'Neill).

Answer 2

Over-rated:
1. Beckham
2. Lampard
3: Riquelme
4. Raul
5. van Nistelrooy

Under-rated:
1. Owen Hargreaves
2. Miroslav Klose
3. Gregory Coupet
4. William Gallas
5. Cesc Fabregas

Answer 3

1. Jason Schmidt, Dodgers - signed a big deal with LA and now can't even throw over 88 MPH. Big bust so far. 2. Alfonso Soriano, Cubs - should be in the league leaders in every offensive category with the salary he makes. Not great on defense either. 3. Adam LaRoche, Pirates - after hitting .282 with 32 homers and 82 RBIs last year with Braves, can't even hit his weight with Bucs. 4. Gary Sheffield, Tigers - Hasn't done a thing with Detroit. Seems like everyone that leaves the Yankees just goes down-hill. 5. Kerry Wood, Cubs - Every year people say this is his year and he ends up injured. Is so injury prone that we will never know how good he could have been.

Answer 4

Overated:
5: Lionel Messi (He's good but he's ain't the new Maradona, no one can replace Maradona)
4: Francis Jeffers (Arsenal paid over 8 mil pounds for a lad that scores only 8 goals in 39 matches)
3: Djibril Cisse (Liverpool paid over 14 mil pounds for a guy that changes eye-catching hairstyles faster and more than scoring goals)
2: Juan Sebastian Veron (moved to Manchester United for 28.1 mil pounds and what ever happened to him now?)
1: Jonathan Woodgate (once said to be the next Tony Adams and wat happened to him now, is there even a place for him on Real's bench?)

Underated:
5: Miroslav Klose (Scored 10 goals in 2 WC and he's still playing in Germany, shouldn't he be in some big european teams?)
4: Claude Makelele (I still can figured out why Real sold him to Chelsea. I bet they are banging their head on the table now.)
3: Guti (He's a really talented player but he's always playing second fiddle to Raul & Ronaldo)
2: Jamie Carragher (What he done for the team is immense and he don't grad any headlines)
1: Paul Scholes (He's definately one of the best in the world, up there with Zidane. He used to make those surging late runs into the box before Frank Lampard burst onto the scene)
