beachesl Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 It is not bad, but I would say Oliver Kahn rather than Luigi Buffon, especially for his brilliant 20002 World Cup performance for which he won an unprecedented Golden Ball. I think that Zidine and Maldini were both brilliant in the 90's, I question their being listed as among the best of the past decade. Perhaps Terry deserves a place.

Daniel Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Zidane was still Zidane for at least half of the decade (2000-2004). The 2000's saw him excel. A masterpiece: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccaliam Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 I agree with Daniel. Zizu was still Zizu in the 2000s. He would be the first name in my team for each decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gringo Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 There is no question about the Goalkeeper accolade. Although there have been many good Keepers throughout the decade, there is only Buffon at that level and FIFA certainly recognize this...............

Desigol Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 As much as I hate to say it, Henry was probably the most consistent player over the Decade. The likes of Zidane, Kahn, Ronaldo (Brazil), etc peaked early in the Decade. I would argue that the best Keeper of the Decade wasn't Buffon or Kahn, but Van Der Saar. He maintained his high standards throughout the Decade. Lehmann, for all his moments of madness, had an excellent World Cup in 2006. Also his Penalty save against Riquelme in the European Cup Semi-Final will have him engraved in Arsenal folklore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
