Zamorano was screwed out of two opportunities, but he played in 1998. Alex de Souza is the only other Brazilian who I can make a case for. He was the first man left off in 2006, while Ricardinho was chosen.

It isn't easy coming up with South Americans.

also, you arent gonna convince me that people left off of world cup rosters are better than someone like gareth bale and george best who played for countries that never made it.

"maradona good, pele better, george best"

ETA: wow, random as frick, was just reading george best's wikipedia and came across this

quote:

George Best was one of the most talented players of all time and probably the best footballer who never made it to a major world final
