In American football my favorite player is the ageless quarterback Tom Brady. Unbelievable at his age that he is still one of the players in history. His quick release means he make decisions and takes advantage of other teams at the drop of a hat. He is the best!
 
Without a doubt Diego Armando Maradona, I know that Pele has more merits, but Maradona's was a too complete player for me, his instinct for agility, speed and cunning on the field was not normal, the quality with which he handled the ball and the The way he defined excellent unfortunately his personal problems did not allow him to achieve greater achievements but that does not remove the phenomenon that he was, a fantastic and gifted player overshadowed by a deadly vice.

My favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo because he is a player who has all the qualities.
 
Being Brazilian, I am extremely happy to see many of you choosing players from my country, like Ronaldinho and Ronaldo (Phenomenon). Contrary to the rivalry between Brazil and Argentina, currently my favorite player is the Argentine Lionel Messi. Second Cristiano Ronaldo.
 
My favourite player in football history is Ronaldo the phenomen...but in this last year's Cristiano Ronaldo has broken all the records in football...physical conditions...mental conditions...strategy power....leadership...he has all to be the best player ever existed...

The best

My favorite soccer player, It will always be the great Roberto Carlos, the best winger of all time, spectacular punching vision and unbeatable speed, The best Brazilian player I have seen, Ronaldinho is also good but in my opinion I consider Roberto Carlos better.
 
hello

we think the best football class of all time was a rifle but I don't follow it so much anymore because Hungary was very good in football now the whole Hungarian football is worth nothing

Good question, good answer.
Neymar in a good day it's very good too.
Messi is incredible.
But Ronaldinho was a "special" player, happy and here to give only pleasure.
 
my soccer player of all time
MARADONA y RONALDO the phenomen-R9

my 11 would be this

Lev Yashin
Cafú - Beckembauer - Maldini - Roberto Carlos
Pirlo - Platini - Messi -Maradona

Pelé - R9

 
Juan Roman Riquelme, from Boca Juniors, was a player who had all character and a lot of talent
 
Neymar. He might not be the most effective player, but for me he's the most entertaining.
 
For a 11, I would probably prefer Buffon as the goalkeeper.
I don't know how is it possible not to put CR7 in the team.

Maradona, I like the player too.
 
Mine is Pelé, I didn't see him play, but I've watched almost all his games on YouTube or on DVD. He was a magician at the time.
The second is Maradona, as he was a genius with a good foot and finally Messi he is just fantastic.
 
This goes back quite a few years, but I loved to watch how masterful in controlling the ball Johan Cruyff was when he played for Ajax of Amsterdam.
 
Don't have favourite, but in their times the following was quiet good:

In the 50s' the Hungarian Golden Team, all of them were a star in the nowadays viewpoints - sad that the commies did not let them win the World Cup, at least once, but they got 4 Olympic gold medal, and in those years, no age restriction was on Olympic Games, so it was like world cup

In the 70s, 80s not so many players, teams, matches i saw, probably, Beckenbauer, Platini, Boniek, Maradona, was great with several others

In the 90s the big Milan players, generally the hole team, Maldini, Baresi the best ever mid defender couple ever for me. They had a Sevcsenko, later on Kaka, they had their moments, how Inzaghi, the Filippo, who was just an average, but clever guy, and he drove nuts all the defense because of his intelligence on the pitch, nothing else.

From the last generation, there are few, especially the real characters are out from football, it is too professional and money centric. But Buffon, Pirlo, Zidane, even both Ronaldo was a great player.

Nowadays, I do not see any from the next generation, whose comparable to these players.

One of my favourite was Gennaro Gattuso, in his golden age, he never give up, had some football knowledge, but everything else was his real strenght, and even lift him above the talented players, like Inzaghi, I can't name similar ones nowadays... everywhere, highly overpaid average players without character, the football become unenjoyable for me, it is just business, even for the players... I just read the transfers in January, some noname English 2nd leauge player was sold for 20+ million, in the middle of the 'virus crisis'... are these fellahs total nuts??????, meantime, i am sure they could buy the same 'quality' from all around the world for 5-10% of this price, what is it? business, sure not some corruption... and the managers, owners, agents play the real game, behind the curtain, the football became a fake show, so the 6th division hobby players in my surrounding area my best players nowadays
 
Thread: Your favorite football player? Who and why?

Without a doubt my favorite player is Messi, an example of perseverance and sacrifice.
 
I have two favorite players, Zidane, an incredible player with a sensational technique and Ronaldinho who was just a magician.
 
I don't have a favorite player, if I had a favorite player, I would also have to pick a favorite team.
 
My favourite football player is Raúl Jiménez number 9 in Wolverhampton. The reason is simple, iv'e been following this team since I was very young and Raúl has made Wolverhampton come back to it's glory days. Yes they are not the top of the league this year but as a true supporter you stick by them even when things don't go all the way!
 
Lothar Matthäus. Just liked his all-round football ability and energy. Classic midfielder who could do everything, buzzer, spreader, cruncher... Captained Germany to World Cup victory back in the day, one of the few players ever to be able to even get close to man-marking the legendary Maradona (almost).
