My pick is Dennis Berkamp..maybe because he was late bloomer and din't play for Barca/Real, but I feel as player he wasn't celebrated enough in his prime..
He is one of the most cerebral player i've ever watched adding to brazilian technique/grace to his game..He probably scored two of greatest 20 goals in soccer history..

Ronaldo R9..
Anytime hes not mentioned in the top 5 list he becomes super underrated. I mean we have fags who think messi is better for crying out loud.

zidane, xavi and pirlo, people fail to understand their true impact, especially for stacked teams.

without a doubt for Mexicans... it's Hugo Sánchez... never won the player of the year award when likely he should have won it at least twice during his stints with Atletico de Madrid and then Real Madrid...

I think dudes like Xavi and Iniesta do not get the recognition they should tbh...
Put in there also guys M Sammer, Klose...
But the crown goes to Garrincha, completely overlooked because of Pele but he should be in any top 10 of all time

Iniesta is overrated as fuck.

Don't get me wrong, Iniesta is great. But many folks rate him over Xavi, some even say he's the best player in the World :lmao
Iniesta is good but he's not as good Xavi, never was, never will be. During Barcelona and Spain reign he spent most than half the time sitting on the sidelines with an injury, tbh.

completely agree son. iniesta is a great player but no of xavi's impact.

I agree Xavi > Iniesta but still Iniesta like Xavi are both quite overlooked like my nigg german nazists Sammer or Klose
I don't think nevertheless unlike Canyonero that Gerd Muller is underrated, dude is a legend and often mentionned imho

klose is rated fine tbh, if any recent german is underrated it has to be ballack. He had some truly monster runs with decent not great teams.

Doesn't matter if Xavi > or < Iniesta...... Missi had both, Neymar, Suarez, Ronaldinho, etc
Without them he's no more than a Memphis Depay in his national team

they were playing great goal replays on tv and showed the maxi rodriguez goal again, what a superb goal tbh (the argentine pundits blew massive loads on this one :lol)

I got me thinking, that argentina side had enormous talent: messi, riquelme, crespo, tevez, lucho gonzales, aimar, ayala, sorin, cambiasso, mascherano, saviola, rodriguez, palacio, coloccini, heinze. Fucking stacked squad. Even a decent coach in pekerman. Looking at the tournament bracket there were a lot of stacked squads in that tournament tbh, clearly better teams than 2010/2014. I always think I might be nostalgic, seeing so many games live, but looking back objectively the 2006 had some exceptionally stacked teams.

son champs win when it matters. Win ugly, win unfair, win sweating, win with last second goals but win. That's why we have the most semis in the history of both WC and euros, we're rarely among the most talented squads but we got thick dicks tbh.

Not disagreeing with that, tbh. That still doesn't make what I said about Argentina displaying the best football, 'till we faced you, wrong, tbh.

Zico is very underrated, even among Brazilian fans. He was outstanding, talent-wise easily a top 10 player ever. During the 80s, the conversation about the best player in the world was between Maradona and Zico, who was called the "White Pele" back then. He pretty much dominated Brazil with Flamengo during a decade.
Maradona obviously separated himself after the 86 run, but Zico did beat him in 82, when the Brazilian team probably presented the most beautiful football the world had watched at the time.
The only reason why he is a not a lock as a top 10 player ever and several brazilians underrate him is because he failed to deliver a WC. Honestly, after Pele and Garrincha , Zico can easily be the next guy on the list even if you include Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Romario there.

Beautiful football and that team was stacked. Socrates, Falcao, Zico, Cerezo, Junior with the best BR coach of all-time. Now we have to watch China bound crowding the Brazilian midfield, fucking sad shit.

pretty sad tbh, from the traditional superstar packed squads ('70s, '80s, '90s, early '00s) to this 7-1 maracanazo shit. Go big or go home i guess :lol don't worry son, you niggas will be back in 10 years.
