50 Greats from 50 Nations

Suker? Lol.

Who would you have instead? Prosinecki, Boban, Modric?

 

[Ivan13]

Suker can't clean Boban's cleats. To pick him over Zvone is an insult to sanity. Same goes for Modric. Prosinecki had more talent than all of them, but sadly never delivered on potential because of various reasons.

If we include all Croatian born players (Jerkovic, Beara, Vukas, etc) Suker doesn't come close to #1 spot.

Alen Boksic seemed more talented than Suker as well from what I remember. Not as great a finisher but his technical ability was something else.

 

[Luigi Habs]

I consider Modric as the best midfielder in the world right now. Boban was great but i don't think he was ever considered the best. Modric for Croatia for me.

 

[Evilo]

For those who would have seen both, how would Zico compare to Platini?

Very comparable IMO, but Zico was injured in key moments of his career. Also didn't spend much time in Europe. But he too, in other circumstances, could have had a better career than Maradona.

We've had a few wrong, more profiles have been posted on the site. NO CHEATING

He's Korean, we got that part right, won't give any other hints, there's not a million options here.

That one is crazy. Evilo, it's in your wheelhouse, that's all I'll say.

 

[Ivan13]

Evilo should know it since the guy in the picture played a fair bit in France.

 

[Evilo]

That's Safet Susic sorry.

 

[Suiteness]

That's Safet Susic sorry.

Yup. Added to the list. Did you get to see him play?

 

[Evilo]

Yes.
Could be amazing, but highly inconsistant. I think he scored 5 or 6 assists in one single game. Don't remember exactly as I was fairly young.

Is he the best Yugoslavian player ever though? Not sure. Wasn't Bobek considered more highly?

i don't know who could be the best ever, but if i have to pick one...Savicevic!

Safet wasn't the best, and I don't think he's on the list as the best Yugoslav player, but rather as a Bosnian. He was a guy who could drive you mad one second then make your jaw drop the next.

And yes, Bobek was better. So was Beara (Yashin said he's the best goalie he ever saw), Dzajic, Vukas etc.

 

[Suiteness]

Yeah, he's there for Bosnia. So we still don't have a Serbian player on this list then.

Just thought of something, if Macca is there, #11 can't be Gordon Banks. Besides, the crest on his kit is not the three lions. So that #11 guy is missing as well I think.

 

[Evilo]

Ahhh, Bosnia. But he didn't play for Bosnia, did he?

 

[Ivan13]

Park Jin Sung is 29, kind of surprising no one got that one.

The long hair threw me off He used to have it short. Will add to the list.

 

[Savant]

Who is in from USA?

Cherundolo, Dempsey, Donovan or Howard?

Doesn't look like any of them made it.

 

[Savant]

Disappointing. There are definitely others they could have gone in over.

Should have been Pulisic tbh.

 

[Stray Wasp]

Ahhh, Bosnia. But he didn't play for Bosnia, did he?

My immediate answer would also have been that he didn't. Officially, I'm sure that's correct.

Wikipedia lists him as having played for them twice in 1993.

Iffy a source as that is, it appears before Bosnia became FIFA-registered, they played some unofficial games. Maybe Susic participated in those.

Soon...
