See List Of Best Footballers In History For Each Top European Country

Football News



Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pele, Zinedine Zidane, Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho...

Naming football's greatest of all time - or the GOAT, as it's popularly known - all comes down to personal opinion.

Most fans reckon it's Messi, who has scored an unprecedented amount of goals for Barcelona and won every trophy possible.

The counter argument is that the 31-year-old has never won the World Cup with Argentina, nor the Copa America.

Pele and Maradona, on the other hand, both won the World Cup with Brazil and Argentina respectively, while Ronaldo won Euro 2016 with Portugal.

It all depends on how you measure greatness, whether it's individual ability or collective honours.

Picking a unanimous winner will never be possible, so Spanish newspaper Marcahave taken it upon themselves to broaden the debate by naming the best players in history by country.

Messi and Ronaldo have inevitably been chosen for Argentina and Portugal respectively, but Pele's selection for Brazil is questionable.

While the 78-year-old won three World Cups and scored over 1,000 goals in all competitions throughout his career, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo were both incredible for Brazil, too.

Zidane, Paulo Maldini, Sir Bobby Charlton and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were also named the greatest for their respective countries, as you can see below.

SHOCKING!!! Ogboni Leader Lists Popular Members Says Members Attend Churches, Mosques

A seasoned administrator and chartered accountant, Francis Oluwagbenro Meshioye, the Olori Oluwo (Supreme Leader) of the Reformed Ogboni Fraternity has said being a member does not stop members from practising religions of their choice. In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, he explained the fraternity takes its roots from Nigerian culture. On the negative perception of the group and what attracted him, Meshioye said: “I wanted to understand my culture, to know why I am here. Why was I not born in India as a Hindu or in China to embrace their culture and religion? This made me to begin to look within myself to know who I am and I extended this to what I have within my area. I am a firm believer in the Yoruba saying, ‘Animo ni peregun laso’ meaning you add to whatever you have.

Air Peace De-board Passenger For Asking Attendant To Translate Safety Instructions To Igbo Because 'He Does Not Speak English'

Iwarah declared that his de-boarding was necessary in a bid to guarantee the safety of its crew and customers and said it would not tolerate an act that would jeopardise safety on any of its flights. A passenger with Air Peace was today de-boarded by the airline over claims that he could not communicate in English during safety briefing. The passenger identified as Mr. Christopher Aniagboso told the cabin crew to translate the safety briefing for passengers in the over-wing exit seats in Igbo language and not English as is the standard.

Besides, Iwarah said that efforts to relocate the unruly passenger from his seat to the other proved abortive despite the intervention of the cockpit crew. He, however, said that the passenger who had earlier on May...
