Sagna is init cos he's got blonde hair. Bosingwa is just over rated.

I meant to vote for Zanetti but I think I voted for Zambrotta by mistake.

Cafu.

Gary Neville should be there mate.

This

Cafu by the way.

Thuram

Rafael Da Silva.

It was between Cafu and Zanetti but I went for Cafu

Ya know when whoever it was said Cafu makes Dani Alves look like Gary Neville, that wasn't a compliment to Neville.

Sorry, Neville was the best full back in the country for how many years of the decade? 6, 7?

Twice, by my count (if that).

Neville has more leadership qualities than most other RB's on the list, but he wasn't as talented, good as, nor achieved as much as any on the list.

Eh?

And I forgot to mention best English full back. There was English right back better than him until he got injured- something he never fully recovered from.

John O'Shea has achieved a lot, does he deserve to be on this list?

Well, he got voted to the PFA Team of the Year twice. Which doesn't even make him the best fullback those years necessarily, just the best right back. And perhaps he was the best English right-back. What does that prove? He was better in the 90s than he was in the last decade anyway. He certainly warrants consideration for team of the 90s. Not sure about the team of this past decade though.

I think he's certainly done a lot more this decade than Bosingwa and Sagna

And Dan, O'Shea was never a regular starter for us. Neville was for for 7 years of the decade.

James 'Jamie' Carragher.

Plays like the Carlos Alberto of old.

I think he actually meant "he plays like Carlos Albert when he got really old"

I take 37 year old Roberto Carlos over Carragher anyday.

edit: They are different wings though.

Carragher's a centre back anyway, and he's crap there...

I'll take Carlos Alberto NOW over Carragher

It's funny. You think someone with Carraghers age and experience would be able to deliver a decent cross whilst playing at RB. But the truth is he's a terrible passer.

Bosingwa

Cafu.

In the entire decade NO fullback has been better than Gianluca Zambrotta. It's not even a contest. Listing a players accomplishments which are based on the team is kind of redundant in these kinds of things.

Zambrotta prior to leaving Juventus was by far the best RB on the planet by a country mile.
