FIFA 100 Greatest Living Players

Citizen7

FIFA are appearently announcing the top 100 today at http://www.the-100.com/. the top five (including Roy Keane) were announced a few weeks ago. Anyone got any inside scoup on the who the other 95 are, I got an Irish Times text alert naming the former Man City players in the top 100, so the list must be out already !!

BTW Marc Vivian Foe was one of the city players, and not to speak ill of the dead but isn't it called greatest living players ... whats the criteria ?

Citizen7

Cheers for the link ...

if you click on roy keanes name you can buy a siloette of a someone holding a ball ...supposed to be Roy, for €7.5K + VAT !!!!!

the list I posted isnt the same one in the link...the one I posted was done by some bloke called Pelé

TwoShedsJackson

No Tostao or Rivelino but he puts in Mia Hamm?? Eh ok, whatever :rolleyes:

super_furry

No Liam Brady or Paul McGrath? The two best Irish player ever and they doesn't even get a look in?

Pele talks an awful ammount of arse at times, and should stick to selling viagra.

eirebhoy

I am bewildered as to how Diouf can get in and Scholes can't, Rivaldo can and Giggs can't. I am not a United fan but I would prefer both the man u players over the others.

Washout

that just seems like a site for selling signed photgraphic images at extra ordinary prices to me

Villain

ROFL

El Hadj Diouf!!!!

Ah man this is hillarious, come on Diouf ahead of McGrath or Brady.

Thats just a joke:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Johnny Giles was omitted too, lynchpin of the all conquering Leeds teams of yore.

I often wonder at what stage Pele became senile.

JippoKelly

All lists like this cause controversy. They're always other people tha tshould have been included and others that are in it that shouldn't.

But how he can place Diouf ahead of some of his 1970 World Cup Brazilian team mates is beyond me.

Lex Luthor

I am a Pool fan and cannot believe this inclusion. Needless to say I can't understand the omission of Ian Rush.

Scammo

Apparently Pele was abused in Brazil because he left out Jairzinho and Gerson.

The latter made an appearance on tele just to rip up Pele's list!!!

JippoKelly

I wouldn't blame them tbh. I know Pele has always been a bit of a nut bar but come on! Jairzinho is one of the all-time great players in his own right.

BaZmO*

Somebody glued a football to Johann Cruyff's head for his picture!!!

Understandably, El-Hadji Diouf is causing most consternation, but the fact that Veron, Pires, Desailly, Kluivert and Okocha are there too makes me think that this "list" is pandering to some strong & shadowy marketing forces.

Jimmy Grealish and Paddy Roche might not have sold many t-shirts, but . . . .

Tony Grealish, even
