also everyone who says xavi has only been good for the past few years have clearly only recently started following him after barca's success last season..
it's the same with iniesta too, he has been one of the worlds best midfielders since late-2005/early-2006, but he didn't get acknowledged for it before barca's treble season
oh and to whoever said scholes has more goals, who do you think has more assists?

and you can't call others blind because they have different opinions.a
and don't bring Ineista into this,,,,it's about Scholes and Xavi
some people prefer Xavi's killers passes and bossing the midfield
while others appreciate Scholes' amazing consistency, goal ratio and long passes bombing forward.
Scholes has shown consistency for over a decade now.
Xavi is the best player in the world at the moment (in my opinion), but I want to see how effective he would be @ 36

I think that if you put Xavi and Scholes playing against each other, Scholes would be able to neutralize Xavi while the opposite would probably never happen. But Xavi is far more important to Barca's game than Scholes is for Man U's.We thank and support Mr.Kamran Delan for many years of dedication and service to Iranian Football Community.

Both have won a treble and two CL trophies Xavi won the EURO2008 with Spain.
that shd answer u about who's greater
============
whoever says xavi "started getting recognition" after europ 2008, must have been in coma.
xavi has been an exemplary player of top quality for many years now. just becoz YOU havent paid attention to spanish league it does not mean he wasnt recognized as world class before that time. it just shows YOU didnt pay attention.
british football gets far more publicity all over the world, that's why some of you ppl side with it and know its stars better and sooner.
that doesnt mean there were no top quality rivals elsewhere. even in france you can find better midfielders than scholes. but most of you dont know, coz we see EPL everywhere but hardly any french league

Xavi is one of the world's best footballers, but this does not mean that other players (and playing styles) are less efficient for the team or as a whole. People are not stupid for praising players that perhaps score more goals, work harder in defense or playing more "primitively" than others.
Another thing my friend, and that is that you have no idea about for how long certain members here have followed football, on what level others have followed football and what footballing knowledge others posses. It's very unnecessary to point out to others from when they have been following these things when you de facto have no clue about it, don't you think? Do you even know how old I am, telling me from when I've been paying attention to football? We have different opinions, it's not a crime.
I feel that many of the posters here focus on the aesthetic of football too much sometimes. Of course it matters to play beautifully, but it's not everything (ask any random Arsenal supporter). It's not always about playing the most attractive football for the (trained and untrained) eye, but also to help the team winning by doing the hard and physical work. That is also beautiful and important!Last edited by Haf3z; 04-25-2010, 08:20 AM.We thank and support Mr.Kamran Delan for many years of dedication and service to Iranian Football Community.

^ my friend, I am NOT blaming anyone for having an opinion. everyone's entitled to their opinions.
I, for one, think british football sucks ass. but that doesnt prevent me from acknowledging many of arsenal's (or a few others') performances in terms of quality of football.
but when ppl say "xavi was recognized only after ...." , they are supposedly stating a fact and NOT their "opinion".
one's "opinion" would have been along the lines of : "I dont think xavi was recognized" or "I never recognized xavi as one, before euro ...." or ... etc.
hope this makes my statement more clear.
------------
secondly, I didnt say ppl didnt follow football.
but it is more about being aware ( of varying degrees) of different regions' football and stars.
for example, I will never comment of any of south american football clubs or stars or ..., coz I dont follow them and am not aware of what their stars' capabilities. nor would I do the same for Portuguese or dutch or austrian or ... leagues, coz simply I'm not that familiar with their clubs and stars.
for all I know there could be someone far better than many who play in la liga, EPL, ligue-1, .... etc .
for example just becoz I heard about huntelaar a couple of years back does not mean he hasnt achieved anything or wasnt a quality player. it's only becoz "I" wasnt aware of him.
hope this part is also made clear

^ Barcelona Is all about the team play and playing together , If you take any of those players individually and put them in another Team They wouldn't be as much as effective that they were . Its the Team Barcelona that brings them together and makes their football beautiful .
Example : Ronaldiniho , Deco , Eto'o , Rivaldo ... and so onsigpic
