[@Obetv01]

Yep. I remember before Euro 2004 (I think) The Times ranked David James higher than Barthez which was just about the most laughable thing I had ever seen. Of course in the game France v England. Barthez saved Becks pen whilst James gave away a pen for France's winner. Nationalistic Fools, the lot of them. James was not even worthy of Barthez's single strand of hair, if ever that existed.

Agree. Keane was a machine, a leader, without him Man Utd wouldn't win jack back in the late 90's. Personally I think Scholes and Giggs were less significant in that team than Keane and Beckham. Keane lifted up the whole team, make them work harder, while Becks was IMO the best midfielder, most of the goals came from his assists and he was saving the team from losing with his insane freekicks.

It was pretty much a mindgame of "I know, that you know, that I know" with Buffon and he ended up going too high. Unfortunate but it's bound to happen between club teammates sometimes.

Good team but no way would i play both Scholes and Zidane! They are too similar in a playmaker respect and only 1 would be needed to perform that role as they were both that good! So i'd drop Scholes for Pat Vieira who could win me the ball in those battles. Defensive midfielder IMO is one of the most important roles in any team.

[@TheHungryTrollRawr]

i disagree, Keane was a warrior and drove his team on to much success but Vieira was a better complete player. Keane had the spirit, a bit more than Vieira but Vieira was spirited also but technically better

[@ishmaelforester9825]

+Colonel Kurtz No way play Scholes and Zidane together? That's like saying no way Japanese twins in bed. Picture Scholes nailing a pass from thirty yards onto Zidane's big toe. Now the other thing.

[@TheHungryTrollRawr]

lol i see what you're saying, but a football team is limited and you have to pick the right players for each role. If you pick 2 creative midfielders and played a team with a decent defensive midfielder, you aint gonna win the ball back in the midfield where it matters.. Scholes cannot win the ball he was APPALLING at tackling and if Zidane had to keep trying to win tackles, you're making him less effective and dragging him away from his job that he's there to do. which is create chances. Ofc Scholes and zidane when they have the ball would be interesting but i think Zidane doesn't need Scholes as he was world class enough to setup the killer attacks himself. What zidane needed was a brilliant player like Vieira behind him to stop the other team's attacks and get the ball back for him. This is why Scholes had Roy Keane.

[@ishmaelforester9825]

Colonel Kurtz All this is mere foam and fluff. Have you ever kicked a ball? I am imagining, Paul Scholes and Zinedine Zidane in the same team. There is no debate. There is no argument. Scholes and Zidane. They could even swap free roles, switching between midfield and the number ten which both at their best knew how to play. Scholes and Zidane, for crying out loud.
