THE BEST FOOTBALLER OF WORLD - Part 8: Spain, Portugal and Latin America - YOUR VOTE DECIDES!!!

My vote had to go to Eusebio. All the young folks that don't really understand the history of this game will end up voting for Cristiano Gaynaldo or David Villa. And worse will be those Mexican fanatics who will vote for Blanco. Oh God! EUSEBIO is the best of this list for sure.

How about Peter smeichel or iker casillas? are you goalie-phobic samba club??? : ) I nominate St. Iker for Spain

Nothing against keepers. Oliver Kahn and Dino Zoff were already listed when I posted about the Germans and Italians respectively but Peter Schmeichel couldn't be on this one because he's not Spanish, Portuguese nor Latin American and it was between David Villa and Iker Casillas as one of the Spanish nominees but I chose Villa. There is also the "Other" option in the poll so people can vote for Casillas, Luis Figo, Fernando Torres, Teofilo Cubillas and other great names if they feel like

earnest and energetic Eusebio - a powerful striker who scored beautiful goals..

Hey, hey, hey... wait a minute! I don't know how old you are but did you take some time to research about Eusebio's career and compare what he did to what Villa did? I'm not saying Villa isn't a great player, HE IS. But he still need to do a lot to be put among the best in the history of the sport. I think ManoGil shouldn't even put players that are still developing their careers among the nominees because they can't compete in number and historical achievements with most of the legends. So let's see the numbers for these 2 strikers:

David Villa: TITLES -> 2 Copa del Rey (one with Zaragoza and one with Valencia) and 1 Euro with Spain. GOALS/MATCHES: CLUBS (Sporting Gijon/Zaragoza/Valencia) 147goals in 272matches SPAIN NATIONAL TEAM: 25goals in 42matches.

Eusebio: TITLES -> 11 Portuguese League Titles, 5 Portuguese Cups, 1 European Cup (all with Benfica) and a 3rd place in the 1966 World Cup with Portugal. GOALS/MATCHES: CLUBS (Benfica) 317goals in 301matches. PORTUGAL NATIONAL TEAM: 41goals in 64matches.

i agree with you StephenByron.. david villa is very good but he is still far from all those great players that could be considered legends.. i'm sorry to say even raul is a lot better than villa.. villa has a long way to go.. i'm in my early 20's but i have to thank my dad (and mum) for singing praises over these players, those players (or sometimes that player who played in that position/that player who played for that country/that player who won that award - because they somehow had forgotten that player's name), so i had to check out all those players that my parents praised to see whether they are/were any good.. i appreciate what ManoGil is doing but i think we should separate the old and young players to avoid any confusion especially for the youngsters.. after all, we grow up with familiar names and have our own choices.. i guess it would be better if best ex-players are compiled in one poll; best players 30-year-old and above in another; and best young players below 30 yrs in another poll.. but this is just a suggestion..

I thought about doing that but then i realised that it would be better to stir up some controversy and provoke debate by missing the old legends with the new idols. It's just for the fun of it ;)

okay.. it's fun alright.. but if you can get more people throwing in their opinions, this controversial debates you're trying to create would be livelier.. keep it up! =)
