[jiopi]

So .... Pele has the most votes ?

Names that appeared most in the lineups, hence the all time XI.

68 Beckenbauer
66 Maradona
63 Pele
60 Cruyff
48 Maldini
46 Messi
30 Yashin
28 Zidane
26 Di Stefano
24 Cafu
24 Moore

Just push ctrl+f and type the name and browser tells how many times it appears on the page.

So Beckenbauer is the true GOAT?

Well it doesn't really tell who's greater than who, but who's the most greatest choice for his position.

 

[misterplatin]

Beckenbauer's name appears in Greatest Managers selection too , so the name count won't give the correct number for votes as a player . I don't know about other players but just check this thing while finding the appearance count with Ctrl+F.

Greatest XI of all time: Yashin - Cafu Maldini BobbyMoore Beckenbauer - DiStefano Zidane Maradona Cruyff - Messi Pele #fcblive [worldsoccer]

Here's a better lineup (from what i've seen and read): Yashin, Thuram Beckenbauer Maldini, Xavi Busquets, Cruyff Maradona Iniesta, Pele Messi

Biased I know

Yeah that's true, he was in 66 lineups and 2 manager votes.

Also Cruyff was in 2 manager votes.

Once again proves that there is no comparison between the two whatsoever.

One of the greatest in history VS someone that will be forgotten in 10 years (unless you are a RM or ManU fan, then maybe 20 years ).

 

[raskolnikov]

Cristiano wont be forgotten, he will go down as one of the best goalscorers in the history of the sport. He will most likely end up with 600+ career goals when he is done.
Messi will outrank him of course but lets not act like as if he is some fluke.

In the end we will see both of them retired, old and shaking hands in a photo; claiming that both are the best player and wishes that they were teammates.

Yeah, this will be probably remembered as the biggest individual rivalry there was. One could argue that Cronaldo actually helped to push Messi these unreal heights.

Best line-up, for me:

Yashin; Djalma Santos, Beckenbauer, Vierchowod, Maldini; Rijkaard, Matthaeus; Maradona, Zidane, Cruijff; Pelè

Other players in squad : Buffon, Cafu, Baresi, Kholer, R.Carlos, Neeskens, Falcao, Platini, Di Stefano, Messi, Ronaldo.

The greatest XI of all time for me would look something like this -

Zoff
Carlos Alberto, Beckenbauer, Baresi, Maldini
Matthaus, Xavi
Messi, Maradona, Cryuff
van Basten
