As a Real Madrid fan, surely I consider him one of the best players ever in general.\nEspecially after the Spain vs France game (though I have wanted Spain to win) and since this is his final World Cup and the end of his brilliant career, I'd say Zinedine "Zizou" Zidane.

Ronaldihno is the best ever. Pele didnt have the competition that ronaldihno has. granted there were quality players then, but there are many more today that ronladihno has beaten and outshined! that crooked toothed brazilian has more talent in his pinky finger than pele's whole body.

It's  arguble that  he  is  the  greatest  ever  but  he  is  definatly  the  best  of  this  generation  of  players.

I have to agree with GISMCIERI.  Each decade has its player-of-all-time, but it's pretty hard to argue against Jordan.

Ronaldhino is the best. A person with gr8 speed, skill and tactics.

Taking everything in to consideration I would have to say Bobby Moore. Talent wise there have been better players but what made Moore special was his leadership. He had a way of getting the most out of his team-mates and without that England would not have won the '66 World Cup. You don't have to have the most talent to be the best player.

all of those answers are good.  i think the top three greatest players of all-time are wayne gretzky, gordie howe and mario lemieux. the greatest player now is a toss-up between alexander ovechkin and sidney crosby. the best defenseman now is a tossup between chris pronger and nick lidstrom.  the best leader now is steve yzerman.  the best goalie now:  martin brodeur.  the best goalie of all time: a tie between patrick roy and terry sawchuck.  the best leaders in history:  mark messier, steve yzerman, and joe sakic to name a few.

I'm not sure if you are asking "ever" or "right now."  I'll respond as if you are asking the if he's the best player in the world now.\n\nI think the answer is yes.\n\nI wasn't immediately won over by him, but over time and through watching him work his magic, I do believe he is the greatest player in the world.\n\nHe is pretty much a creative genius.  Some people would argue Thierry Henry, Andrei Shevchenko, or others are the best in the world, but I thinkt here is no comparison...and that is why Ronaldinho is the best.  He is unlike any other.  A player like Henry has an incredible ability to score goals, as does Shevchenko, but I think Ronaldinho is the best all-around, most versatile player.  He is more creative than any other player, so in addition to finishing goals on his own, he has the ability to create for teammates.  I think that he, more than any other player in the world, makes every other player on the field better.  This is so dangerous because if opposting teams choose to defend him, he'll create for others.  And if he isn't guarded closely enough, he'll put it away himself.\n\nI think what he does with the ball is miraculous and he is on a level that nobody else in the world is at (not to take away from the ability of other great players).\n\nI may be biased because I did not grow up in the era with Pele and Diego Maradona, but I do believe that by the end of Ronaldinho's career, he will be etched among the greats forever.  People will talk about Pele, Maradona, AND Ronaldinho.

There have been so many great players in the history of football, and everyone will have a different criteria in their determination of what makes a player ‘iconic’, but there are a few names who I think must surely be in the hat…\n\nAside from Pele and Maradona, who are penned in already, I’d say the most obvious would be the great George Best, who sadly passed away last year.\nPele himself once described Best as ‘the greatest footballer in the world’, and for pure, unadulterated talent he’s certainly up there with finest proponents of the game. He had a unique genius that made him one of the most exciting players of his, or any other generation, as well as one of the first ‘celebrity’ footballers. The cheeky character so evident in his football was mirrored in his personality and the young Best was a star on and off the pitch, but he also had a self-destructive streak that controlled much of his life.\n\nAfter Best, I’d have to consider a good few others:\n\nPuskas – The Hungarian that showed England that rest of the world were actually quite good at football. Fearsomely powerful and one of the finest international goal scorers of all time.\n\nGordon Banks – Seemingly super-human English goalkeeper that made that unbelievable stop from Pele’s close range header in ’70. To my mind the best keeper ever, and in that sense a football icon.\n\nJohan Cruyff – The original Dutch master, he invented half the skills you see today off the top of his head. Wickedly creative, strong and skilful, Cruyff brought something new to the game and was at the heart of one of the most gifted World Cup sides ever.\n\nZidane – In my opinion the greatest player in modern football. Powerful and skilful with ridiculous vision, Zidane is a French playmaker that creates and scores goals that no one else can even imagine, let alone actually realise.\n\nPhew! And I haven’t even mentioned Van Basten, Eusebio, Ronaldo, Henry, Muller, Beckenbauer, Platini, Charlton, Garrincha, Zoff, Di Stefano, Maldini etc, etc…

Pele, without doubt. I met him in 2000 while working at one of the major sponsors and he is a really great bloke. So not only was he unbelievable on the pitch, he was a great bloke too. \n\nCompare that to Maradona (junkie), George Best (drunk womaniser) and even Paul Gascgoine (wife-beater, drunk, fake-breast wearer). \n\nI've seen old video of Eusebio too and he was pretty special, but for me the greatest is definitely Pele.

Pele is by far the best player of all time he changed the game when he was very young and people told him that he was too little but he showed them by scoring the most goals in his first world cup

The best Italian player of all time has to be Guiseppe Meazza. He is one of their best goalscorers and a legend in Milan.
