      I also do not agree with Ivan Córdoba…he was a great player, but in 1998 there were other Colombian players that were better and more famous : Valderrama, who is probably the best Colombian player of all time, Asprilla and Rincon

      I think Colombian best players 20 yrs ago are Carlos Valderrama & Faustino Asprilla. Also more to Pedrag Mijatovic for Yugoslavia he's the 1997 runner up for ballon d or. And Mexico's #1 GK in WC98 was still Jorge Campos.

      México: Oswaldo Sánchez? WTF!? Jorge Campos, Ramón Ramírez, Cuauhtémoc Blanco, Luis Hernández, Jesús Arellano, García Aspe, Claudio Suárez, Ricardo Peláez, Luis García e incluso Rafael Márquez están por encima de Oswaldo Sánchez en ese año

      Yeah ,cr7 could only hope of replacing r9 as the "original ronaldo" ,let alone make r9 look average. You must be smoking some really heavy shit. If r9 was average,then so were maradona, zidane ,messi as well, which clearly any sane football fan would laugh at.
