Rash, you are rather learningWhen France was playing excellent soccer in those days, winning the European trophies, was it not Jean Tigana who was the best player, despite Michel Platini banging in the goals?

IsaacThose journalists in France are entitled to their opinion. In my opinion, Legendary Abedi Pele comes first. He is the greatest ever. Weah come second, followed by Roger, Samuel Eto and lastly Drogba.
