    Your little girl insulted my sport, Wan. In our country we call it football as well as rugby.

    If junny can debate the issue of current and past, why can't I bring in rugby if the poster wasn't specific to what type of football.

    Note how Dan Carter can not only kick an oval ball (much harder than a round one), but also step, run, tackle, spin, fend, ruck and pass.

    I was just kidding, I love rugby. My 5th grade teacher was from New Zealand and he called it football sometimes too.

But obviously, that's not something "fans" these days can understand.
    No. The first post says who's (who is) the best footballer in the world, present tense. None of the players you mention were the best footballer in the world in 2007.

    I agree that three players were not enough, and that the three listed weren't even the best in 2007. By the way what in your opinion constitutes a "dramatic impact on the game."

    I would make her clean her room as a punishment but I am too busy arguing with Junny.

    But she really did used to play rugby during recess.

    Your post is ridiculous. Judging from the players chosen in th poll, it's obvious that the OP was asking about the best footballer in the world at the time the poll was created. Although, some of his choices are questionable even at that time, everyone obviously knew what he meant.

    Henry and Ronaldinho haven't done enough? Who has right now (or even then for the matter)? And what type of accomplishments do they have?
