Went van Bronckhorst over Marcelo, narrowly. Roberto Carlos over Maldini - seem to be in the minority but probably because Roberto Carlos caught my attention more due to my age when they were both prominent and him being famous for his free kicks and attacking play. Ashley Cole and Patrice Evra were easier to settle on.

Lahm was class, so was Cole. But the point of this was to bring up these debates, even if most of the threads have fallen flat because people can't be arsed. January and all that.

As to the position argument, I tried my best with players who played in more than one different position in their career. Wanted to get 16 in each position one way or another. So, sorry, not sorry.

Nationalism shouldn’t play a debate, but it always inevitably does. I appreciate Lahm as a world class player that could also play several other positions. Ashley Cole was, in my opinion, the best left back.

Did Cole have Alzheimers at 35? Because Robben pulled that trick 3 times on him in the 1st half. xD

Because a 35 year old footballer has the same legs as a 25 year old footballer

So i get your point but Lahm is inargueably one of the top handful of rbs of all time, to not have him on the rb list is a falacy. Losing to Ashley Cole.. well premier league bias is a thing there is no universe in which ashley cole is a better back at any point in history.

I agree that Lahm should probably be on the RB list, as one of the best RBs of all time. Having said that, I think there's a case to be made for Cole being the best left back in the world when he was at his peak.

Either way, Maldini at his best was better than both of them.

Lahm loses to Ashley Cole. Alright im out.

I have to agree with the Germans here but for me the laughable part is Evra making semi-finals.

Hands down. 

Then it's not arguable if it's "hands down"

I have to disagree I'm afraid. Ashley Cole was very good but he's not Philip Lahm and never has been.
