I didn't follow the French league this season unfortunately. How old is Joe Cole now anyways? I'm too lazy to Google it.

Although Zidane is up their with Maradona and Pele.

I'll have to go with Pele also. I was actually there when he made his debut, and I said that kid's gonna be big!

You can't compare Zidane to Maradona and Pele, different kind of players. You should compare Zidane to Cruyff

Whilst true we can't see all games he played, you cannot deny his stats and the beast games and skills he did.

Same for Winterbottom in the 00's.

We can agree they're the best of their time and 1 of the best to ever kick a ball

No you can't

Just like you can't compare Rooney to Young and Robben to RVP.

Unsure how EA have been RATING players stats for years.

Maybe not always right but for the most part they are.

Yes. You can. (Hopefully you see logic soon.)
