    Whoever said that Higuain is overated is having a * laugh :56: He's the best finisher on the planet, complete poacher.

    Can't compare them as players. One is only a Striker, one is a Winger, AM, CF whatever...

    I'd actually wonder how Ronaldo would cope in a truly, truly fierce fixture.

    He doesn't. He's failed in every big match we're the pressure has truly been on him.

    Yeah. As I said we can't compare them as players but maybe you can compare mentality and I question Ronaldo's at the very biggest games. Maybe it will come with experience but I always remember Henrik being as cool as Ice in O.F games.

    Henrik Larsson never had a bad game in a match that the spotlight was on. Big game player.

    I know Ronaldo is a better player but who would you rather on the end of a chance were they are one on one with the keeper in a Champions League final?

    I know who the smart money would be on to finish it.

    Edson Braafheid from what I seen of him. How this guy was signed by Bayern and participated in a world cup final, I will never know.

    Never had anything but pace.

    When the injuries took their toll on his pace, he was shown up for what he was, ordinary.

    Probs because Van Gaal rated him in the Dutch league and thought he was good enough to move to Germany, as he did himself (leaving holland for the Bayern job). Duno about his ability right enough.

    Yep some players are better at other clubs. I suppose it's down to what a clubs expectations are to whether you're overated or not

    ^ probs a decent shout. His best times were at Portsmouth, not Arsenal or Chelsea or Madrid.

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCg0cEXHmCc[/YOUTUBE]this is clearly showing that messi's pace is indeed overated (or that kaka is faster than him XD)

    Naw we mean pace in the sense that he's probably the quickest in the world at moving the ball as he has such good touch and control. There's plenty faster in a straight line, but he does everything with the ball so quickly and subconciously, it's special.

    Give it up man. There is no way Messi is in any way overrated.

    Last few games? :56::56: He scored 34 goals in 35 games last season in La Liga.

    Cristiano Ronaldo isn't over rated either, IMO they're both miles ahead of anyone else in the world.

    I'd go for:

    Cech
    Abidal
    Ibra
    Ribery
    Terry
    Alves

    Plus the one that I always know is a very very controversial choice but Pirlo.

    Messi has a great turn of pace, kaka is just a faster runner.
