Germans are a team and don't rely much on individualism.

However, OP is a troll as he has Messi number 3 and no Ronaldo( Portugal) in the top 15.

Part myth. Would've never had such consistent success without excellent players. Bundesliga just doesn't have nearly as many international stars over the decades or media exposure, which causes a lot of German player to not get their dues. Then when they come together as a team all of a sudden it's just the part myth of the German machine that explains most of the success and not the fact that Germany has produced many awesome players over the years.

8- Cruyff (Netherlands)

Negged for not at least having Lothar Matthaeus in there, the greatest box to box midfielder of all time and, IMO, the German GOAT.

I'm not asking for a lot of German players in there, but I'd see nothing wrong with at least two German players in the top 15. Maybe 3. I also don't like the fact that minus Beckenbauer the list of full of offensive players (and even Beckenbauer was well known for his offensive contributions).

Cristiano left out, meanwhile Messi Nr. 3

cruyff should be 4th at least and passarella is random as hell.. anyway generally speaking defenders dont impact the game as much as mids and forwards.. so beckenbauer should be the only defender(lots of offensive qualities anyway) in the top 20.. maldini and baresi are after him probably..
the list is decent though maybe george best somewhere in there

If Messi wins 2morrow, he's pretty much GOAT.
