Battle of the World Cup stars

[fredfertang]

Ball and Milla

........... and without wishing to harp on why the **** is that Argentinian **** still in this? - taking into account GIMH's quite properly awarded -25 he should be out

 

[Agent TBY]

Klose
Milla

 

[grecian]

Ball, was a nice bloke, crap manager mind. Really enthusiastic and good to talk to.

Romario

Abstain (can't vote against Alan Ball's annoying falsetto, Klose has had a pretty successful World Cup career - can't split 'em)
Milla

Klose
Romario

 

[Magrat Garlick]

19 - worst battle in history of CW.

Romario in the second one, but damn close. Always thought the cradle was Bebeto's thing though?

Yes, it was. Bebeto had just become a father.

****s relied on a blatant off-side goal to beat the Dutch but Romario was brilliant for PSV for years, and that's far more important.

Rivelino. mainly for the tache, tbf.

Oh, I nommed Boniek, he had a great 'tache and he almost made ginger be cool.

But Bobby Charlton, that impossible thing, an under-rated Englishman, IMHO.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Ronaldo
Bobby Charlton (no doubt his inevitable win will do nothing to appease the battle-runner)
