Spain could be an amazing country to discuss because everyone will have to decide how to rank the great midfielders and they will have to back their opinions even though they just came up with them. ps: because I don´t comment a lot : when you do a video of the top 10 players in our generation or sth like that , don´t exclude Messi and Ronaldo, it is nice to know what everyone thinks and you could get some great debates and hot takes out of it (like somebody putting Neymar above Ronaldo because of the eyetest) , big up SDS , by far the best football podcast in the world

Pogba over Viera is crazy. Viera was a baller. His technical ability is so underrated. His finishing ability was amazing for a midfielder, dinks, chips from the edge of the box, screamers, 1 on 1 finishes. He could burst thru a midfield with his acceleration and physical stature, defensively he was mr elastic, legs everywhere. Aerialy dominant. Passing range, short, long, one touch. Quick feet in tight spaces for a big man. Not a flaw in the man’s game. Maybe his temperament. That’s literally it. Put some respect on his name Faisal. That’s a disgraceful opinion. Ooooo Paul’s got an emoji. U dweeeeeb.

[@ANGELOFDARKification]

Everything people imagine Pogba doing is what Vieira was doing week in week out at Arsenal. As a United fan, Pogba doesn't even come close to him as a player even if he's a little bit better on the technical side.

Mbappe is from France. Paris is his City. If he can win PSG their first ever UCL, he will win the Ballon d’Or off the back of that. That would be a bigger acheivement than winning the UCL with Real Madrid. Neymar left Barcelona for the same reason, to win PSG their first ever UCL and as a result, win the Ballon d’Or. Unfortunately, the PSG project seems to keep failing so maybe he is giving up now and willing to just got to a Real Madrid now at 25 years old but at least he can say he tried with PSG. OR he might decide to join a Liverpool/Arsenal on a free transfer and give them what he tried to do for PSG because he knows he can go to Real Madrid at any point and his career will probably last until 35-38 in Europe

[@Anon97123]

Tbf it's top 10 French players of the 21st Century, not top 10 players for the French National team. Giroud hasn't been as consistently good or alternatively hit the same peaks as anyone else on this list imo. Objectively, there's no argument you can make for him being a better player than Zidane, Henry, Benzema, Mbappe, Vieira, Ribery, Kante, Griezman or Makelele. You could at most argue he could get in over Varane. But even then it's difficult to argue against Varane when he broke into Madrid's defence as a kid, 3 peated the UCL, was also part of all the same successful France teams. You can make the argument because Varane's younger so Giroud has achieved more so far and Giroud never had the opportunity to 3 peat a UCL because he never played in a Madrid team full of superstars. But on the other hand I'd argue no team either Giroud up top is capable of 3 peating the UCL. Varane played in a better team with better players so he has shown he can hold his own. I'm not sure Giroud can be prolific enough/consistent enough at club level to reach those heights. He was brilliant at Montpellier, not really special at Arsenal, better at Chelsea and AC Milan again as he was more experienced. Like I said, maybe he gets that 10th spot over Varane. But that's the absolute maximum. It's like how I wouldn't argue Lukaku is better than Hazard, De Bruyne, Kompany, Coutois or even the likes of Mousa Dembele just because he's Belgium's all time top scorer. Giroud definitely deserved to be in that honourable mentions list. But top 10 idk.

Fun premise, without putting almost any thought into it, these are the 10 names I came up with pretty quickly: henry, zidane, kante, mbappe, benzema, vieira, ribery, griezmann, anelka, thuram. I am sure I am forgetting someone. Makelele and Trezeguet were also considered before I was satisfied and started ordering. I would rate Zidane ahead of Henry all time, but for the time after 2000 Henry takes it.

[@Anon97123]

​@@johanfredriksvendsen8482Makele would be nailed on in that top 10 for me. Incredibly consistent player, one of the best DMs ever. His peak (Madrid and Chelsea) falls within the 2000s. And like Kante, the impact he had on the teams he played in was massive and instantaneous. But yeah that last spot is a bit of a toss-up. You got the likes of Thuram, Desailly and Anelka who's absolute peaks fall in the 90s. You've got players like Evra who probably weren't quite as good but played completely in the 2000s. Then you got the likes of Giroud and Lloris who were massive players for France and had great spells at club level but weren't as consistently amazing throughout their careers as some of the other players mentioned. Trezeguet's one I never really got to watch properly but sounds like his peak was right around the turn of the century so maybe he's the one. Varane is still in the middle of his career but has accomplished a lot already. He's got a decent shout. Very hard to pick that 10th man but Makelele is nailed on in my top 9 tbh.

[@mike04574]

Anelka?

I know that Sharkey asked this question, but I have to be as honest as possible with my answer. Robben and Ribery are a much better duo than Salah and Mane overall, imo. Just accounting for what they have done as a duo, Robben and Ribery won 8 league titles together, completed the treble in 2012-2013, won a Champions League in 2012 (same year as the treble), Robben had a 75% win rate for his games, and Ribery had a 73% win rate for his games. Ribery came in 3rd place for the Balon d'Or (behind CR7 and Messi) in 2013. But that's just my opinion. Not gonna hate on Salah and Mane. An incredible duo👏

As a french here is my top 10 : Zidane Griezmann Mbappe Henry Benzema (only cause of club) Kante Ribery Viera Pogba Varane

[@LMLLTLT]

This is it.

[@shredder-19]

What 😭

[@MrDrezzy007]

Zidane No 1 needs no justification nor explanation.

[@tybomortier1211]

Very hard dissagree on Varane, I was a huge Real supporter at that time He was by far the least talented player in that starting lineup. At times he looked like he couldnt hit a wall let alone a football. Ramos did all the playing out from the back (the best to ever do it) the only reason he played imo was his pace a cb. But I wouldnt have him anywhere near this top 10. Pepe was miles ahead in my book. He had the luck of being around during peak Ramos years.

[@pabloalvarez2967]

I believe more and more that Abz really didn’t start watching football until last year. Pogba was inconsistent even with Matic and Herrera? When those three were played together as a proper midfield three was when Pogba was at his consistent best week in week out

[@Ccveysi]

Literally 2018-19 was by far pogbas best season at Utd.

[@Sircoochie]

Which months was he consistent in,

[@nicodiangelo7051]

Abz legit had the best performance here today

[@pabloalvarez2967]

@@nicodiangelo7051 I didn’t finish it yet, but a little over halfway I’m giving it to Faysal at the moment for his monologue on Griezmann

[@pabloalvarez2967]

@@Sircoochie 18/19, from December until early March. Pogba was absolutely untouchable in that period, finally being played as an 8 in a midfield three alongside Herrera and Matic. And it only stopped after March due to those two and others in the team picking up injuries, forcing us to revert him back to the pivot.

[@lawen_1012]

do the netherlands next pls?

[@r.i.psteez929]

Didn’t Faysal say Madrid lost the 14/15 Semi Final to Juve SOLELY because Modric didn’t play ? Now it’s cause Benzema didn’t play ? 😂 Also, Benzema only had two seasons with 20+ goals in LA LIGA alone when he had Ronaldo with him, he was never even a top 5 best/influential player while Ronaldo was there and Madrid fans wanted him gone. He was impressive at Lyon no doubt but Benzema’s career should be judged on Madrid after Ronaldo. That’s when he was at HIS best and he was great ofc, 21/22 he delivered an iconic season WITH Vini, Benz & Vini were like Shaq & Kobe or Lebron & Kyrie. Even as a Liverpool fan, I look back at the season and the duo was so good and great to watch. But he’s just not the greatest french player EVER Fayz.

[@JoshuaGuevara7]

Madrid fans only went against him one season. I agree he’s not the best French player But to say you have to judge AFTER Ronaldo is disingenuous

[@r.i.psteez929]

@@JoshuaGuevara7 It was definitely more than one season and I said you “should” not you “have to” judge him like that. He was good with ronaldo ofc, but he was also very bad. Those years were nothing too special and he was far from HIS best, which is Balon D’or winning potential.

[@JoshuaGuevara7]

@@r.i.psteez929 Benzema is Madrids second all time Top goalscorer and also First for all time assists. He was not “very bad” He had one poor season. Dropping deep so cr7 can move up top is the only reason his stats weren’t like when cr7 left.

[@r.i.psteez929]

@@JoshuaGuevara7 yea in how many appearances ? He was there for 14 seasons lol. Just like how Ryan Giggs is the top assister in premier league history. He wasn’t clinical enough, missing easy chances. Suarez got his goals and assists with Messi and Neymar on his team, 2 superstars. Like I said, Benzema was good but nothing too special when he was with Ronaldo.

Pogba is underrated bc he was expected of so much. He still won an FA Cup, Serie A, WC and Europa League. Isn’t this similar to R9’s & Zlatan’s cabinet? He made a mistake joining Man Utd but even then, without Pogba, Utd probably wouldn’t have made the UCL every now and then if it weren’t for him. Utd would have been like Arsenal and gone 5/6 years in a row with no UCL qualification without Pogba
