Just thought I'd throw this one out to you all...but I'm not sure when I saw such a poor player sporting the famous no. 10 jersey on a winning world cup team. Am I right in thinking that Guivarch didn't wear it in France '98, if he did then we probably have a worse player there...
Five months after a broken leg and you expect him to set the world on fire?
Get a grip it was a minor miracle he played at the tournament at all !
Can you give us a full list of No 10s please so we can compare?
Why start a new thread? There is already a Totti bashing episode.
2006 - TottiQuote:

**can the mods make this into a poll**
Yeah that thread was closed for some reason. The reason for the bashing of Tottis that he has the talent but does not put in the effort or desire when playing for Italy. A disgrace to the shirt and as Giles said he should be forced to give his medal to Cannavarro. Injury is a decent excuse but what are the excuses for the other major tournaments.
I closed it.
He's better than Rai for certain. No need for a poll.
Didn't numbers on shirts only come in around the 50's??
He was superb in Euro 2000Quote:

1) IMO Totti was more influential than Rai
2) There's not going to be a poll. Most people here don't know enough about World Cups pre maradona to make a choice and its already been debated to death
So Why ask for a list of no.10's then oh wait you were just trying to be smart weren't you :rolleyes:Quote:

Rai played most of his career with Paris St.Germain, the perpetual underachievers of France, their answer to Tottenham Hotspur :D
Nah Rai was better, if only for being the brother of the legend Socrates. :)
Totti for Roma in full flow is a far different proposition than a barely fit Totti at the World Cup
We should ask Jimmy Magee - he probably commentated on the final.:)Quote:
