this geroge weah was well tosh because he never even qualified for a world cup.

gareth bale is one of the worst players in the world because he's from wales. top players can play for the best teams, but it's not their fault if they can't win the WC.

mind you, was today the first time messi scored in the knockouts in CL? and he's never really "done it" in a WC yet.

George Best, Giggs, etc. never even played in one.
 
why? name me 10 amazing centre backs in the world? ones that are comparable to those who started the century like nesta and cannavaro etc.

It's not always about amazing stand out individuals, it's about a defensive unit. Juve have got the best central defensive trio in world football, but they're not the greatest individually. However, to name some outstanding centre backs off the top of my head:

Varane, Pique, Hummels, Ramos, Chiellini, Godin, and of course our very own John Stones ;)
 
Not to mention that defenders are hardly allowed to defend, offsides rule is more relaxed, etc. The people who run the game game want more goals and that's what we are getting but at the cost of defence.

yep, was talking about this the other day with a friend. it's so much harder now for defenders which might be the reason why they don't look as good.

that's only 7 ;)

i'd only say varana and possibly pique would be remembered for a long time if they keep at it. stones would have to move somewhere a bit better ha - but the boy oozes class.

Yeah but you only named 2 from the early 00's haha. I think Messi would still have ran riot in that era to be honest, he's just a freak of nature
