Sorry guys, Cruijff was very good. One of the best. But Pelé and Maradona are a different league... We can all come here and see this http://www.football-history.net/best-players.htm ranking, but so what...? For me Zidane was better than him, Eusébio better than both, Maradona better than Pelé and Platini is only in the list cos he bought somebody... :-) Chalana was 10 times better than Platini and hardly anybody ever heard his name (outside of Portugal)... :-) The “dutch lobbie” in Catalonia is not something particullarly recent…

This move is really political, as most of us know. Everytime Cruiff speaks he insults Madridista, which is why I love it when he speaks. But Catalan's should be wary of being so condesending against "Spain", specially on a WC year. Because we(Catalans), like cheering for our stars and our team. And even Casillas is enjoyable when he plays for Spain. he certainly revolutionized FCB. This move is really political, as most of us know.

Maybe not as great as a player, but he's already a god in France as a coach after only two seasons. ^^I’d add Laurent Blanc as well.
