I want ur opinion on the best forward in the world. To me, the best forward is Del Piero. He dribbles, gives good crosses, takes great free kicks and takes his opportunities very well. What is ur opinion?

***Killah*** · Aug 1 2003, 09:32 PM

for me its van nistelrooy

jack fox · Aug 1 2003, 09:41 PM

van nistelrooy is not a striker. I mean a forward if u understand what i mean

puyolman · Aug 1 2003, 09:42 PM

kluivert is a great forward or ronaldinho

puyolman · Aug 1 2003, 09:47 PM

Van Der Vaart 23 · Aug 1 2003, 11:20 PM

Kluivert

***Killah*** · Aug 1 2003, 11:39 PM

alright sorry if forward then i think its raul

Painless_Cry · Aug 2 2003, 12:38 AM

Ruud Van Nistelrooy and then Thierry Henry

I have two. Del Piero and Raul.

**Zizou** · Aug 2 2003, 08:11 AM

VnR is a striker not a forward.

Del Piero is nowhere near the best forwards in the world. In fact the best forward in the world is without doubt Raul.

At Juve Miccoli might become the best forward in the world and I currently rate him more than Del Piero.

RedDevilsFlame · Aug 2 2003, 03:15 PM

I agree. The best forward in the world is Raúl. If u asked the best striker, I would say RvN.

**Zizou** · Aug 2 2003, 04:17 PM

Best striker in the world is a tough one. Either RvN or Vieri. Would be nice to see Vieri with Chelsea and check how he does in the EPL.

KD_7 · Aug 2 2003, 04:33 PM

Raul is way too over-rated for me. My best forward would probably be Zola.

jack fox · Aug 3 2003, 12:32 AM

Kluivert, Del Piero, Makaay and Miccoli are forwards. Vieri, Carew, Trez and van nistelrooy are strikers. Do u understand the difference now?

jack fox · Aug 3 2003, 12:36 AM

Del Piero finishes well with both feet pretty well while Raul is good with his left foot and is not good with the right. Del Piero is better at free kicks than Raul. How could u say that Raul is better than Del Piero.

you might be saying the same if you saw RM without Raul and then RM with Raul. They're a totally different team

**Zizou** · Aug 3 2003, 11:36 AM

Del Piero has a really bad freekick. He scores maybe one out of 10 shots. Raul is a much better player than Del Piero and that's a fact. I'm a Juve fan but I'm objective enough to know that Del Piero is not among the top 5 forwards in the world.

Raul, Mutu, Totti, etc are just a few names of better players than DP.

jack fox · Aug 3 2003, 06:00 PM

Totti is a playmaker!

not sure about that...

jack fox · Aug 3 2003, 06:08 PM

I saw Raul with Real Madrid! He was on the right side in the penalty area trying to beat the goalkeeper. He could have beaten the goalkeeper with his right foot but because his right foot is not too good, he tried to beat the goalkeeper with his left foot and failed.

jack fox · Aug 3 2003, 06:11 PM

if totti is a playmaker, why is he playing behind the forwards and also in midfield?

Last season he played as forward in Rome.

On Del Piero, I personally feel he has some sort of mental problem where he can't perform on the big stage. (BTW I don't mean illness, I just mean character flaw). I mean I remember they were talking him up at Euro 96 and he was a flop. He's been a bit of a flop at many major Championships for Italy. He's been on 3 champions league final losing sides, and he was AWFUL at Old Trafford in may.

Does anyone agree?

It's an intersting opinion, it can be seen that he has got really a strange character even if after the injury he had he has never reached the great levels of earlier years of his career
