World Cup goals lacking. 1 v Iran and 1 v North Korea
Arguable he is a flat track bully playing in an amazing Real Madrid side
He needs to win the World Cup singlehandedly, which he won’t do, to be ranked with the very best.
In summary he is a great player but not a great, great player.
[QUOTE=“Rocko, post: 938635, member: 1”]Sort of. I believe the current official RTÉ position is:
“He’s a very good player who does great things but he also does things that great players don’t do.”[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that’s pretty much their stance. Grudging praise for him.
If only he had some of Dirk Kuyt’s grit and chased back 60 yards every time he gave the ball away. :rolleyes:
He’ll be slaughtered during the world cup by Dunphy and co no doubt, though they are oblivious that he single handedly got them to Brazil.

George Best never played at a world cup, what does that make him?
Did you ever see George Best play?
Dunphy slagged off Maradona during 1986 World Cup (pre or half time analysis during England game) saying he ran down blind alleys, didn’t know what was doing
Maradona mugged him off good and proper with this goal. Dunphy was always a spoofer and a charlatan.
Modric is a joy to watch. The best midfielder around at the moment.
Ronnie & Keane 
Poor old Lee Dixon is like a spare prick there.
CR7
Pjanic is the best midfielder around now, mate.
Over rated. 2 league titles in 11 years for a player people say was best in world is poor considering the club. Best Law and Charlton etc etc a lot of the fame comes from a single European Cup final goal. He only once scored more than 20 league goals in a season for United.
Yeah, he was muck. Kevin Phillips was better.
It’s his cockmanship* that most people admire, bud.
*I assume you are fishing and realise that he was one of the greats although he ruined his own career.
Serious work rate.
7 different teams won the league while he played for Man Utd, so it’s not like any time were dominating like they do nowadays.
That is my point. With the greatest player ever you would expect United to dominate. Naturally gifted and an entertainer. Yes. Overrated. Yes.
Not necessarily, teams found it much harder to stay at the top because the could just go out and buy shit loads of players like they do now.
How many league goals should a winger score in a season?
A dead, wife-beating, orange bastard.
