Your most favorite non-Iranian footballers.

You're actually really tall, I'm 183cm.
Yeah that's your opinion, according to statistics, not only is it not short it's actually counted tall in many countries:

Average Male height:
Iran: 173cm
France: 175cm
Italy: 174cm
Russia: 176cm

Where I live (The Netherlands), I know at least 5 friends who are taller than me. People are generally really tall here, some are even 2.00CM! That's why I feel like my own height is quite average here.

178 is just a bit above average for males. 190 is too tall even for Scandinavian standards.

I'm 193.

wow, thats taller than Ali Daei!
But, how come Netherlands isn't that high up in Basketball or Volleyball rankings?

Not trying to derail the thread but Cahill was considered short because of the game he plays. He is a target man despite not being 185 cm and above. This is actually commonly misproved though in cases like Marco Veratti (A rough DM who is about 170 cm) and Wayne Rooney (178cm) but I have seen him out muscle/win headers against players a good 15/20 cm taller than him. John Terry and Yaya Toure for example.

I have so many favorite football players! Specially from the last football generation... The new footballgeneration isnt even 10% of the last.
I mean players like:
Jaap Stam, Neville brothers, Roy Kean (The real Captain), Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Andrew Cole and Dwight Yorke (Best Attacking Duo), Solskjaer (best Joker), Barthez, Sheringham, Nistelrooy, Veron, Ferdinand, Vidic, Gabriel Heinze, van der Sar, Zambrotta, Davids, Nedved, Zidane, Del Piero, Inzaghi, Trezeguet, Thuram, Camoranesi, Cannavaro, Emerson, Hierro, Roberto Carlos, Salgado, Redondo, Seedorf, Guti, McManaman, Raul, Morientes, Makelele, Figo, Ronaldo, Henrik Larson, .... This list is so long. So Sad that they dont play anymore. In the old days so many great player and so many great teams.

Not one of the tallest, but the tallest.
178 is not short at all, it's pretty average in the western world.
I myself am 185-186.

Haha in all seriousness, it has to be Thierry.

Hristo Stoichkov (Bulgaria), Zidane, Gheorghe Hagi (Romania), Predrag Mijatović (Yugo) and Roberto Carlos (Brazil). Honourable mention to Patrick Kluivert. All of these guys could win matches on their own, basically game changers and amazing commanders of the field.
