I haven't read your whole post because I nearly choked when I read what you have written about Thierry Henry. When Ronaldinho won world footballer of the year, Thierry came in second, and there are many that believe Thierry should have won. Thierry is much more than a striker, which if you knew anything about football, you'd know.
I know Beckham isn't a very good dribbler, at least not with the ball... but his passing, crossing and set plays are second to none. If you're 30 yards outside the box, a free kick, you have both Ronaldinho and Beckham in the team... who would you choose to take the kick?
Zidane may be a little over the hill, but his positional skills are second to none, he has the uncanny ability of being in the right place at the right time. If you want midfielders that can score from 40 yards, look no further than Frank Lampard... season after season this man is in the top 5 premiership goal scorers. unheard of from a midfielder. There are midfielders that score, but then there are midfielders that score all the time. I don't have a fav' player, and I have the utmost respect for Ronaldinho's ability. In my first post I should have finished by saying that Ronaldinho's all round ability places him high in the top ten players in the WORLD.
