Most overrated Players ever

[iseah100 5,612]

He was, but youtube made him seem like a god to younger kids that didn't watch him.

Honestly, Zidane is on the same level as iniesta and landrup. Not a significant level above them imo.

Prime Ronaldinho was a level above those 3 imo.

Wtf...

i forgot to add every player from England in the past decade or so.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Zidane was amazing!

Veron - What a mistake that was

Beckham - Great passer and dead ball specialist, takes more than being a nice guy and role model though.

Giggs - Yeah he's won a lot of titles but he's never been that great

Gerrard - Good passer but never really done it for me. Tends to go missing when it counts and I don't buy into the whole " Captain fantastic "

Rooney - Scored a lot of goals but there have been plenty of other better strikers than him. Goes missing for England in tournaments, will never forget WC 2010

Torres - 1 amazing season at Liverpool and their fans overrated him as usual

Rio - Nowhere as good as he thought he was

Bale - He is a great player but his fee alone overrates him

Michael Owen - Turned to complete shit

Players that deserve high rating

( THE Ronaldo, Maradona, Zidane, Raul, Figo, CR7, Messi, Xavi, Del Piero, Trezeguet, Iniesta, Shevchenko, Cannavaro, Maldini, Pirlo ) There are others but I can't be arsed to name any more

Cr7 is great. Just not one of the greatest for me....

Cannavaro and xavi to a degree are overrated....

Agree with others

[didierforever 7,349]

This is easy....

I'm going to get ripped to shreds buts its ok...

Not in any order...

Lampard, Luiz, Mata, Luke Shaw, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi (to a degree), Suarez, Sturridge, Lukaku, Hazard on this board, Marco Reus on this board, Zidane (to a degree), Matic on this board, Inzagi, Kerlon, Dos Santos, Thibaut on this board, Casillas (to a degree),

However, my number 1 is Cristiano Ronaldo.

I have a lot more...

Edit. Kaka is going to go on top of my most overrated player list....

Cristiano is second.

Xavi, Yaya toure (to a degree), Dzeko the past 2 weeks, Zlatan to a degree.

hahahaha,,, so in your opinion every player in the world is over-rated.

oh wait - the most under-rated players : heskey, carrol, torres, downing, djemba djemba etc etc.

serious dude...

[Nike 373]

Messi is in the top bracket, not Cr7.

However, when I say to a degree, that is more in reference to being the sole person on top.

Wait Zidane? Are you nuts? The guys was exceptional with the ball.

For me its Wayne Rooney.

There are many reasons.

One of them would be that he got voted 3 times footballer of the year for basically nothing.

I'm not saying he wasnt a great Footballer .. he was certainly World Class like many others .. but he was not Special.

First he had no Vision. Ive never seen him do a Genius Pass. And Ive never seen him tormenting Teams on his own.

He was a square Passer. And a Ball Holder. But he was a Team Player and I appreciate that.

I do agree that he had some kind of naturally elegant yet strange Body Movement.

But honestly, does moving like a Dancing Queen make you a Football Great. Certainly not.

Zidane rarely beat Players in Dribbling Situations. He was a Ball Holder. Not a Force towards Goal.

Excessively so his attempts to beat Opponents often looked clumsy and arduous.

And he had no special Instincts for Goal Scoring Situations (Something that you are born with but can be trained to a certain degree).

Everytime such a Topic comes up, someone brings in the Argument of Zidane leading France single handedly to WC/EC Glory.

Of course he did, especially with a Team that contained mostly Amateur Footballers like Barthez, Dugarry, Lizarazu, Dokaeff, Henry, Trezequet, Thuram and so on.

I wonder how often he would have led Algeria (had he opted) to the Top of the Football World.

He always needed great Players around him to be a success. A Real-Madrid Assembling worth 200 Million Dollars for example, to win the CL in 2002 for Example.

Otherwise (lets be honest here) he would never have won it. And even that happened against Bayer Leverkusen.

To be honest, I never saw Zidane doing something that made my Brain go like "Wtf was that"? I gotta see that again ..

I only saw 5 Football Geniuses in my Life ... maybe 6 ... including Messi ....

And Zidane certainly is not one of em. Far from it.

That being said, I think he was still a great Football Player and a very likeable and great Person on and off the Pitch.

Zidane is one my favourite players but I won't get all defensive because I respect your opinion.

Anyways,if you haven't seen this then check it out. Not something which happened on the pitch but I thought it was pretty cool. (if you have seen it then lol just enjoy it again)

Any player who has played in the England international team in the past 10-15 years.

Hi Folks.

Had a funny discussion at work today with a Colleague of mine (who is actually a Barcelona Fan).

And we were arguing which players might be the most overrated in the history of the game.

For me, I always think of the same two - they are unbeateble in that regard

1) Zinedine Zidane

and

2) Michael Ballack

What about you folks? Whos the most overrated in your Opinion?

If Ballack and Zidane are overrated in your eyes then its fair to say every footballer is overrated...

Most overrated footballer though, hmm I don't know.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Schweinsteiger, Özil, Neuer

Andrea Pirlo, Francesco Totti, Alessandro Nesta, Favio Cannavaro,

Gerrard, Giggs, Scholes, Rooney

are the most obvious cases that come to my mind
