Not a fan of doing lists but Ronaldinho is easily the player I liked to watch the most. Afterwards probably Rivaldo and Zidane.

The Bundesliga thread is waiting for you bro. :lol:

I could make a different list every day, but at the moment probably the following:

Ronaldinho
Zidane
Drogba
Crespo
Pirlo

I really got into footie in the early 90's, and I loved the columbian team. Valderamma could basically pick out any pass he wanted and seemed to always hit guys in stride.

That team was fun to watch. Valderrama is an underrated player. His vision was amazing. It is nice to see his name mentioned for something other than his hair

Should've known you'd be a Totti man. 8-)

Such an incredibly entertaining player in his prime, and even now he still pulls out these jaw dropping passes. A rare example of absolute loyalty in modern football, too.
