It's incredible to think that in his short career (only 10 years), Marco Van Basten was fully fit in only 3 (actually the first 3), and until the rest of his career he had to deal with problems with his ankles and knees, and despite these problems, he scored a massive amount of goals, won many trophies and won the Ballon d'Or 3 times. Imagine what kind of player he could be without these injuries...

Pound for pound Holland may be the one country that has produced the best players, certainly in Europe. With a population of around 15 million (and less 20-50 years ago) it is quite remarkable how many technically gifted players have come out of the Netherlands. And they keep coming. Yes, based on technical skill, Holland has underachieved. They should have won in 1974, maybe even in 1978. Not to forget the matches against Brazil in 1994 and 1998. The one in 1994 was a great, great game. Even Beckenbauer himself said around 25-30 years ago in a joint TV interview with Cruyff that Cruyff was the best player to ever come out of Europe. Marco van Basten is one of my all-time favorite players and he was without a doubt the best striker of his era and one of the best of all time.

Unfortunately, for a lot of reasons, includind his personality, he wasn't summoned. In 1994, Brazil would be out of the world cup, so he was called against the coach willing, and he destroyed in the game facing Uruguay, what leaded Brazil to the cup and after, champion of the cup. This year, Romário was ellected the FIFA best player of the year.

First UCL I ever watched, AC Milan-Goteborg 4-0, Marco scored all four; to me, Van Basten is the best ''true 9'' in history. Plain and simple. Unfortunately he couldn't play past 1994 so that he gets more acknowledgement and trophies and break some more records. His instinct was something !

Happy to have lived through the golden days of Dutch Soccer, with Van Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard still playing in the EreDivisie. Than playing for AC Milan and winning the EuroCup! Just look at the pictures of the Dutchies celebrating this win and in the 'grachten van Amsterdam' (Amsterdam's Canals). Great time to be a Dutch boy growing up. For him (and us as a Nation) it was too bad that he got those ankle injuries. And the fiasco of 1990 World Cup... Always heard that Van Basten and other players wanted Johan Cruyff as Coach of the national team. The Dutch League chose a different coach and the team never was a team from the start. Remember that a lot of great (international) strikers once played in the Dutch League: Ronaldo; Romario; ZLatan and Suarez are some the most recent once. They all learned from Van Basten

Van Basten was a beast. Back in the early 90's stuff about him was scarce around here and whenever something about him came in the paper kids would cut him out to hang him amongst the legends. Here in Portugal we would always idolize our national players and then Pele, Van Basten, Maradona, Raijkaard, Ronaldo... that's how big he was, he was amongst the legends.

Not to be rude, but I never really saw Ronaldo as someone that has one truely special talent. He has this weird combination where he's exceptional at almost everything, but he's not truly special when it comes to anything except for maybe heading the ball or his work ethic off the pitch. He was an exceptional dribbler till he turned ~30, but not as good as Messi or Ronaldinho or Hazard. He has a phenomenal 'weak foot', but not as good as Sneijder or Kroos or Beckham. His finishing is superb, but it's not as good as Lewandowski, Van Basten or Ronaldo Nazario. He has style and some flair, but not that special touch that Bergkamp or Zidane had. CR7 is special for me because he is the most well rounded forwards maybe ever, but certainly not the best forward for me.
