Okay, we need to start being careful here.

Kempes, although he didn't actually win that many medals, did win a world cup for his country, scored a shedload of goals and he doesn't look out of place in that list. Fair enough.

But Ayala? Is he really a legend? He was way before my time so I'm not qualified to judge so what did he do to warrant a place alongside the greats?

What about Zico?

During Espana '82, he was one of the first names we always wanted to be as we picked sides for our little kick abouts.

The term "World class" should be applicable for the top 2 players in their (for a squad of 22 players) position in the world.

Any team that had 6 world class players in their team would be unbeatable, this is not a catagory we fall into.

Yeah and i suppose El Galaticos were unbeatable huh?

[Myo]

What do you think is world class and who in our team do you think is world class and why?

I think that a world class player is in the top 3-4 players who play in that particular position
IMO in our team:
Carra - Need I say more
Masch - One of the best defensive midfielders in the world
Gerrard - Look at Carra

Potentially World Class:
Reina
Agger
Alonso

one word: KAKA

i think the term world class is over used in todays football, whereas say 10-15 years ago world class meant the best players in the world and there were only a few truly world class players.

World Class = media invented term used to drive internet fans crazy
