If you ever feel let down and disappointed. Just remember that England had both Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard in the same team and didn’t get close to win anything
I remember in 2006 when England had Robinson, Neville, A. Cole, Terry, Ferdinand, Gerrard, Lampard, J. Cole, D. Beckham, W. Rooney and M. Owen. I was so excited to see them play. They were a big disappointment, but nothing close to Brazil's Dida, Cafu, Lucio, Juan, R. Carlos, G. Silva, Zé Roberto, Ronaldinho, Kaká, Adriano and Ronaldo which was the best team to play the worst football ever in a World Cup.
You mispronounced some of them Boruc is not "bo-rooch" but "bo-roots", Tejeda is actually "TeHEADa", Michael Ballack is "Mish-ya-el" Ballack and Xavi is "Shavi" or "Chavi", but definitely not "Zavi"
He would have one champions league with Barca if it wasn’t for Pep! During the first half of the season he was the best player in Barcelona and the world and if it wouldn’t have been for Pep he would have continued like that and won the ballon for and champions league
It has to be Mohamed Aboutrika for Egypt in 2008. He was like the Salah of the time with how nice a guy he was, giving to charities etc. And this is coming from an Algerian
lol whut torres was rated among top 3 players in the WORLD that year yet you didn't pick him for spain... I mean I know they have a ton of great players but logic?
He's the best by far right now but I personally think in 2008 that Olic and Srna were better than Modric. Modric didn't become world class until 2012 at the earliest.
That's what i was thinking, he singled out cr7 and messi and rightfully though, but Modric still Croatia's best player, if not, their most influential.
There's a case for Olic, Srna, Simic and Pletikosa being better than 22 year old Modric. Matthias McCormack, yeah if we ignore Rakitic Croatia still have some great players, but yeah other than Rakitic nobody comes close. Modric completely outclasses players like Kovacic, Mandzukic, Srna, Pjaca, Corluka, Lovren, Subasic and Vrsaljko who are all brilliant players in their own right
Yeah Trika is a monster. Honestly at around that time Egypt had a pretty good squad, won African cup 3 times in a row and occasionally put up a show against big teams. Too bad they never made it to the World Cup and we got the talentless squad this year
Abu-Trika - Egypt Ali Karimi - Iran Jefferson Farfan - Peru Riquleme - Argentina Dejan Stankovic - Serbia Mohammed Noor - Saudi Arabia cleared it up for you
Mohamamd Abu Trekia was always Eygpt bets player in the last decade, he never played in Europe but ask any Egyptian and nobody will even think about the half season wonder Amr Zaki, Fore sure people will even pick Mido - I guess he's will known - & Mohammad Zidan - who played in Germany for seven years - ahead of Zaki, very wrong choice
Damn It, the same mistake again with Iran, I guess you are being lazy with the countries that you don't know much about so you are picking however was playing in England 10 years ago!! for Iran Ali Karimi was a Bayern Munich player 10 years ago!! yes he wasn't a regular starter, but a bench player for Bayern is 100% better than an unknown from Bolton & fulham.. let's see how you will deal with the rest!
I thought the same. But English football fans are often clueless about football outside of their island. Everybody who saw only a few games of Egypt and Iran could see that xD
6:37 I dont think so. Mourinho has brought half of his Inter's winning side with the money he got from Zlatan(69,5M) Etoo(trade with Zlatan, 20M), Sneijer(15M),Lucio(7M),Motta(10.2M) (4 starting players) 69.5 In 52.2 Out Including every player that got sold(Milito costed 25M but he was "traded" with other players to Genoa) 109 in 94 Out So Inter was able to make profit by selling a player that was not liked by the fans and won the Champions League!!!
You know nothing G. Iran had ALI KARIMI 10years ago who played for bayern munich also ALI DAEI who is the international top goal scorer in the history and...... way better players than Teymourian
If Kaka didn't have so many injuries he could still fight for the Ballon D'or at least four more times. He said in an interview in 2011 that after that pubalgia aggravated he became a "common player". Both he and Ronaldo (the Brazilian one) could have been even better if not for the injuries.
Harry Kewell will undoubtably be Australia greatest talent ever produced, just a shame injuries destroyed his career. Cahill still Australia’s Totti but Kewell will always be king!
Euzebiusz Smolarek was actually regarded as Poland's best player at the time (I know, what the hell), Francileudo dos Santos was Tunisia's best player, Wesley Sonck was Belgium's best player, and Hakan Yakin was Switzerland's best player. I remember those years 😊
Hi, a Costa Rican here. Just to point out that our captain Bryan Ruiz signed with Twente in 2009. Ten years ago he was in Belgium's Gent. I don't recall him being the best player of our country back then. Some people would tell you it was Walter Centeno.
Post 2006 ronaldinho is on decline. He had slight resurgence in milan while being Led by kaka. In 2008 kaka is fresh from his ballon d'or winning season
Am i the only one that thinks that fellaini is class player ? For fuck sake he was at the time the best (most hard working) player in United's midfield. He played solid every game for belgium also. In Everton he was great. No Fellaini was never a Star player , a crucial starter for a big team, but to be honest United was shit after SAF left. Fellaini was played as CDM, CM, Cam, even as a Striker... For fuck sake he scored some crucial goals for team and country. Yes he is not star, or the best player at the team but he is hard working and gives his best. Stop trolling a man just becouse his teammates are shit. I mean look what players Manchester United Destroyed after Saf left and youll have clearer image of how solid player fellaini was.
Jon Dahl Tomasson????? You kiddin' me, he only scored 1 goal in 2008 for Denmark which was in a friendly while Bendtner already had overtaken him as the main striker in the team. Atleast go with Daniel Agger or Christian Poulsen...
It's Ahmad Zaki not Amir Zaki and Mohammad Aboutrika was far better even though he never left Egypt, but wouldn't expect much from someone choosing Terry over Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard.
Tunisias best player in 2008 was either Santos or Jaidi or Jaziri or Trabelsi, never Haggui. Saudi Arabias best player back then was Yasser al-Qahtani not al-Shalhoub. Also you have Yasser al-Shahrani in that picture at the end for al-Hilal, not Shahloub.
Rooney should of been England’s best player. I’m a United fan and don’t get me wrong Terry was one of the best CBs in the world at the time, but Rooney won the CL and the PL and was probably united’s second most important player behind Ronaldo.
Dejan Stankovic was the best Serbian player back in 2008. There is no doubt that Vidic was an excellent player but he wasn't that good for his country.
Eidur Gudjohnsen is arguably our best player ever. When he went to Chelsea and then to Barcelona he gave our younglings the belief that we could go and achieve great things.
I feel sorry for arshavin. He is one of many great player who get trolled by wenger. I know he made a dumb desicion by signing to arsenal instead barcelona want to sign him. But one of the reason he willing go to arsenal just because wenger promise him that arsenal will be a titan in europe. Turns out arsenal become shitty team that love to destroying footballers career. Glad henry, rvp, fab, hleb, vermaelen made out from that crab team and got achievement they should get in another team.
Why not Torres? He just came third in the ballon dor in that season
you missed holland and italy

Claudio Pizarro actually still is playing, he is trying to save Cologne from relegation right now
Hans Grüneberg is he? He is not even playing an entire match.
J. A. Antón played 12 scored 1
Aboutrika was by far the best Egyptian player in 2008 imo
deadmaninc21 I know right. He was one of the most creative African players.
Definetly. He probably only picked amr zaki because he played in the premier league
deadmaninc21 M.Aboutrika was so world classed he would've been one of the EPL greats if he played in the EPL
jesus christ i remember when germany only have Ballack in the midfield and he made the other players look average

If you ever feel let down and disappointed. Just remember that England had both Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard in the same team and didn’t get close to win anything
Basically a golden generation that didn’t win nothing

RAFAEL MARQUEZ WHAT A LEGEND!!!
At 8:54, you said that Ivan Cordoba was twenty one years old, but he was thirty one years old, ten years ago
Amr Zaki??? No way. It was either Mohamed Aboutrika or Ahmed Hassan. Please do your research on Egypt.
Hossam Enaba no one wants to, plus no one cares about Egypt
Can you do the “next best player” for each country? Just like this one but picking a young talent
Poland lukas podolski was sadly in a bad era to play internationally..... what a legend
You mispronounced some of them
Boruc is not "bo-rooch" but "bo-roots", Tejeda is actually "TeHEADa", Michael Ballack is "Mish-ya-el" Ballack and Xavi is "Shavi" or "Chavi", but definitely not "Zavi"
He would have one champions league with Barca if it wasn’t for Pep! During the first half of the season he was the best player in Barcelona and the world and if it wouldn’t have been for Pep he would have continued like that and won the ballon for and champions league
Rafa Marquez also scored in every world cup he's played in.
It has to be Mohamed Aboutrika for Egypt in 2008. He was like the Salah of the time with how nice a guy he was, giving to charities etc. And this is coming from an Algerian
one player you didn't know each wc manager worked with
1000th Like. Yay.
Best XI for Premier League players outside the top 6
Imagine saying Terry was better than Rooney
Claudio Pizarro is still playing for FC Köln :)
As an Aussie it is pathetic that Tim Cahill is still dependent on.

pretty sure Croatias best player is still modric
ChickenMonster18 No arguments there.
He's the best by far right now but I personally think in 2008 that Olic and Srna were better than Modric. Modric didn't become world class until 2012 at the earliest.
That's what i was thinking, he singled out cr7 and messi and rightfully though, but Modric still Croatia's best player, if not, their most influential.
Logia Theories he's their best player, but not by far. Rakitic is incredible too
There's a case for Olic, Srna, Simic and Pletikosa being better than 22 year old Modric.
Matthias McCormack, yeah if we ignore Rakitic Croatia still have some great players, but yeah other than Rakitic nobody comes close. Modric completely outclasses players like Kovacic, Mandzukic, Srna, Pjaca, Corluka, Lovren, Subasic and Vrsaljko who are all brilliant players in their own right

Dejan Stankovic - Serbia

zwebackshyper So sad he’s old now, Mexico’s defense is so so trash now. We need a leader like him at the moment.
Not only was he a tank, he was amazing at distributing the ball with his right or left foot.
For Egypt it was Aboutrika, Mohamed Zidan, or El Hadary def not Amr Zaki.
fifa el regala or Mido
AbouTrika was the best Egyptian...
6:37
I dont think so. Mourinho has brought half of his Inter's winning side with the money he got from Zlatan(69,5M)
Etoo(trade with Zlatan, 20M), Sneijer(15M),Lucio(7M),Motta(10.2M) (4 starting players)
69.5 In
52.2 Out
Including every player that got sold(Milito costed 25M but he was "traded" with other players to Genoa)
109 in
94 Out
So Inter was able to make profit by selling a player that was not liked by the fans and won the Champions League!!!
Did you see that Wigan team under Bruce? We had loads of top quality players. Emile Heskey, Titus Bramble, Lee Cattermole, the list could go on.
Bob Clover Hesky😂😂😂😂

Jack Bryant Yes you can, and i believe he was! Zanetti was unreal when he was playing.
Pelé the Hedgehog mate your just stupid
Zanetti was good, but Messi was messi bro 😭 I dont think Zanetti was even the 2nd best of Argentina at that time let alone be 1st
Pelé the Hedgehog he got 42 Goals and 18 Assists in the 08/09 season at 22, you cant compare zanetti to that

If Kaka didn't have so many injuries he could still fight for the Ballon D'or at least four more times. He said in an interview in 2011 that after that pubalgia aggravated he became a "common player". Both he and Ronaldo (the Brazilian one) could have been even better if not for the injuries.
