why maradonna not on the list? dribbled past the whole england team and scored !!! single "handed" won Argentina the world cup. Or where's Zidane??
If messi or ronaldo can do that then they deserve to be in the list.

this thread is more focused to current players
messi has done that type of goal before, think it was against getafe

Yeah. Almost the same place as where Maradona did. But I think Maradona dribbled one extra player than Messi.

here's the both video combined together.

go C. Ronaldo!!

Messi, he's just unstopable on his day!!!

tHanKs for the ViDeO..
Nice..Voted for messi btw.

w00t a dribbling defender?! but its not good for defender to do that lor...

he used to be a winger in early career at monaco

if dribbler , i would voted messi
in term of skill, ronaldo the best.(zidane too)

George Best? He had the audacity to beat a defender and then go back and beat him again. Mad!

and he very rarely loses the ball when he attempts a dribble.. he is not as fast as roberto carlos or ashley cole.. but i personally think.. he is the best attack left back in the world at the moment.. but due to his physique he is vulnerable against bulkier opponents.. ie Kevin Davies...
On a lighter note..
I think Messi is the one of the best at the moment.. Hleb is a very good dribbler.. but for me.. Zidane.. at his prime..with those broad shoulders.. was very very hard to play against.. And good dribblers don just make use of their quick feet.. also their upper body strength and their physique comes into the equation.. Too bad the Zidanes and the Maradonas never played in the Premier League.. then we could have seen how very very good they were..
Also.. you guys left out George Best!

Where is Ronaldinho ? How can Walcott and Ribery be on the list and not the great Gaucho!!!

This is a weak poll.

Even in a Season when he's mostly been a sub he has stood out for me.

Ronaldinho 2007-2008 compilation

ronaldinho still in my heart for best dribbler as for the list,for sure messi..youtube prove those both player dribbler skill

i miss RIVALDO dribbling skillllllllllll
remarkable AMF leh

Rivaldo skill goes for nothing after what he did at World Cup

I vote for Messi

messi = best dribbler
the gaucho = best skill
zidane = best vision / ball distribution

until messi win the wc with argentina, he may just like another 'giggs' . one of the best player around who never managed a wc medal cuz his country wasn't good enough.
messi's chances with wc medal is a lot higher though.

I think Messi stand a better chance of winning the WC with Argentina than Giggs as his country doesn't even qualify. Definitely Messi will achieve this accolade in some stage of his career as he is still really young. He nearly did so at the last world cup as he was one of their best performer for his country. As long if he stays fit he stand a good chance to land that converted trophy as his country can produce the talents to play along side him.

exactly! not just better, but best chance. they are regular in wc. one of the seeded team. hence, i mentioned about his chances which is a lot higher compare to giggs. giggs just being unlucky with wales.

just like maradona; they share a lot of similarities, physical and playing style.
messi is just too talented but sooner or later, opponent player will be able to read and dictate his moves, thus neutralized 'em. but just like maradona in 86 wc final, even if he was heavily guarded, he can always turn provider.
germany need 3 players to take care of maradona and thus open the chance for burruchaga for the final blow.

unlike maradona though, lets just hope messi will dribbled his way past the recreational drugs

messi is good dribbler,and likely he will be the best when he reach the peak of his age..

why Wallcot in the list but no Ricardo Quaresma?

really hope he play for United someday
