Great one Jun-lei!:star:

Only one problem, I was gonna vote for Ronaldo...

 

I was gonna vote for Ronaldo too..

 

"The Master Of The Area", as Cruyff Named Him

I voted Romario, but I doubt he'll win this poll as he's been in Brazil for half of the '90s and European-based players always get more votes.

The reason I chose him was simple: No other player from that list matches him in sheer talent & achievement. Baggio would be the closest one in terms of talent, but Romario was World-Cup champ and Baggio wasn't. All the others are simply below Romario's level, none are fuoriclasse as "Shorty" is.

And the inclusion of Papin is somewhat funny...

 

Of course, Van Basten would be in Baggio's and Romario's level, but he wasn't WC winner either.

 

voted for Van basten but i was hoping to see Ronaldo in the list...otherwise i would have voted for him.........

 

Jun-Lei, it would be much better if Ronaldo could be added to this list because Ronaldo is deffinetelly gonna get alot of votes here, let's be realistic. Thanks.

 

Easy choice, like Garrincha said, Romario is a class above all (or at least most of) the others.
But why´s mentioning JPP funny? The guy ruled!

 

Romario.

Although it's difficult to choose one name - nobody dominated in 90s the way Maradona did in 80s...

Including JPP in the poll funny???
He was a fabulous striker. He also got a Golden ball my friend!

 

Batigol just got another vote courtesy of moi !!!!

:excited:

 

Hey, I didn't mean to knock Papin or anything, I just never saw him doing anything all that impressive. Which doesn't mean he never played brilliantly, it just means I never saw it.

My loss, huh?

 

I thought we were finally realising that attackers doon't have to be the best players.... guess not

Anyway, the 90's are really more like two era's: early nineties with van Basten, Romario, Hagi etc. Late nineties with Zidane , Figo, Ronaldo, etc.

Voting for late 90's, it would have to be either Zidane or Deschamps for sheer accomplishment with their TEAMS.

It's a disgrace not including either two or Desailly in this post. Let's just deny that France was the dominating country late 90's and Juventus the dominating team....

 

I voted for Batistuta:strong:

 

Alright, peeps!

Don't shoot me for the choices. It's really a tough call choosing these players. In any case, to suit the demand, I shall split this poll into early & late 90s. I shall try not to repeat any players, with the possible exception of Batistuta.

If you've voted for a player in this poll, and his name is transferred to the other one, please vote for him in the other one.

Sorry, it's a bit troublesome. But glad you guys like polls like this.

 

Jürgen Klinsmann just got his first vote !
Remember his third goal against South Korea in the 94 WC !!? Woooow !

 

Roberto Baggio is the only name that should be in this poll. The scary thing is that he's still so ****ing good.
Forza Codino! :strong:

 

Well said Toro.Baggio was the only man i could vote for too.

I rate him among the top 5 players of all time.

 

Marco Van Basten is my vote,also Paulo Futre

 

Robbie Baggio

 

Van Basten is the man...
It is a shame his career ended so early.

 

cut short

Both Paulo Futre and Marco VanBasten careers were cut short.:depress:

 

Romário ofcourse, for all the reasons Garrincha already gave...

 

maldini and van basten

 

van Basten could have become the greatest player of the 90's if it wasn't for his injury problems...
He was already a fantastic player before the injury, but in my opinion he didn't showed his full potential yet by then...

They say an attacker is on his peak when on age 28/29 and we've never seen a fit van Basten on that age...He could have taken away all the doubts in this poll who was the greatest, but well this is just the way it is...:depress:

 

i voted for brolin!! he was a really great player!
