Wow look how many languages this list in in already. Amazing! Mintguy (T) 00:31, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)
It looks this list has rather little to do with football or soccer. This is just a FIFA commercial venture of creating artistic images of the players. Vfd. Kpjas 10:10, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)
This is the equivalent of the US National Soccer Hall of Fame - there is nothing wrong with the list per se, we have equivalent titled articles such as 100 Greatest Britons or 100 Worst Britons Mintguy (T) 10:22, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)
So, now that the list is here to stay, what title should it be listed under? Clearly, it can't be at List of 100 Greatest Living Footballers, as it does not include any of the all-time greats, such as Jack Dyer, Peter Hudson, John Nichols, Ron Barassi, Gary Ablett, or even David Campese. Tannin
Errr .. how many indentation colons are we up to? I'll just start again at the left-hand margin. I always dislike the Somethingorother (qualifier) style of indentaton, and try to avoid it wherever possible, so it's nice to see the Pele's list of ... suggestion. That would do nicely. For thse unfamiliar with Gary Ablett (the Oz rules footballer), perhaps mentioning his nickname will provide a hint until such time as a contributor more interested in football (any code) than me gets around to writing the entry. He was universally known simply as "God".
Off the field, alas, he has more in common with ... er ... the other bloke. The one with the horns. Ablett was going to be inducted into the short official list of all-time-greats a few years ago (shortly after he retired) but got himself embroiled in a scandal and a subsequent coronial inquest into the death of a girl and the list comittee started to wonder what sort of example this was setting for young people and got cold feet.

Apparently both the VfD notice and the Copyvio notice were prematurely removed from this article even though, as of March 8, it is still listed on both. Because of this, you may not be aware that time is running out for the following actions: 1. voting on the VFD page to keep or delete this article; and 2. getting documentation from FIFA posted on this talk page releasing the list under the WP license. Failure in either could result in the removal of this article from WP. Thanks, Davodd 22:43, Mar 8, 2004 (UTC)

Why is Turkey listed under Asia? I was under the impression it was part of Europe, certainly considering it was in the playoffs against Latvia for the European Championship... calexico 22:39, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Turkey is in both Asia and Europe and was historically the meeting of the two great continents for centuries. Recently Turkey's application to join the E.U. was postponed, but it looks as if it will be accepted at some point in the future.
Granted! However, from a football standpoint, would it not be more sensible to list it under Europe? Reasons: 1) Turkey's national team play in European qualifiers for the European Championship, 2) Turkey's club teams qualify and compete in the UEFA Cup and Champion's League - both European competitions. I would be interested to know if I have overlooked something major, if there are no objections listed here - I'll move Turkey to the Europe section. calexico 23:05, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Some of the players you mentioned, Yashin for instance, cannot be on the list because they are dead. What troubles me is that, for obviously political reasons, they have included two women in the list, but not Jairzinho... who is alive, well, and still largely incomparable. I won't belabour what he represents to football, how good he was, or that is an undisputed legend, but if players like Ivan Zamorano, Jean-Marie Pfaff, BOTH the Laudrups (what?), Clarence Seedorf, Giuseppi Bergomi, Okocha and Myung-Bo are going to be on the list, then he should CERTAINLY also be there, perhaps in place of one of the abovementioned, or the women... which, no offense, but, as of yet, in my opinion, are not comparable to the men. This is for a number of factors, such as strenght and speed, which in women, are determined by biological factors such as physiology. Other good players have also gone unnoticed. For instance, recently, on German Television, they argued in favour of two goalkeepers that certainly should have been drafted onto the list. These were Bodo Illneger and Sergio Goycochea. Others come to mind; Jean Tigana, Paul Gascoigne (obviously disciplinary problems don't stand in the way of a nomination, a quick flick through the list will reveal why...) perhaps Koemann or one of the De Boars, Salvatore Schillaci (incomparable during his short-lived reign)... and several others. An authentic top 100 wouldn't be so geographically spread, but naturally, like everyone else, FIFA is in the numbers game...
This List is a Shame .. I respected Pele as the greatest of all Times but now I see, he's an Idiot - So many Legendary Magicians on the Pitch are Missing - and so many Average Players are on this List.

Perhaps he was strongarmed by the dasterdly FIFA organisation. This list is a travesty, if Myung-Bo makes the list then Roberto Carlos should be on it twice. Why not, if we are saying that the world's greatest players are distributed evenly across the world.

Do they think that by getting Pele to say something, we will just accept it, and then buy the book, with Pele's face on it. The posters are rubbish as well.
There is a flagrant contradiction in the statement about criticism. So, after all, is the criticism saying that there are too many Asian and African players (where, 'for example', there are only 7 of them), or too few?

I included asterisks by players active when the FIFA 100 was announced. I deemed this noteworthy information as Pelé was asked to compile a list of 50 active and 50 retired players, and he returned a list of 50 active and 75 former players. Italics denote the players that are still active. I could only work out 49 of the 50 active players - if anyone who can work out which one I missed it would be great. However, please do not remove asterisks without further discussion. Regards, Mk3severo 21:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I have played soccer my whole life and I could take some of these players off and add some other players. There are no true "100 greatest players". Everyone has their own opinion on who could be placed in this category. Is it really fair to say that these are the players who are the greatest to ever play the game? Should Wikipedia really publish an article that is seen as one persons perspective? Hrndfrg13 ( talk) 16:13, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
He's retired so italic no more.
Paolo Maldini is retired as well.
What do others think, should the players who have died since then marked separately. At least Puskas, Sivori and Best have passed away since the list was done. BleuDXXXIV ( talk) 08:31, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

It should perhaps be noted that Bobby Mooore was selected for the list despite having died over a decade beforehand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.133.147 ( talk) 02:26, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Ruud van Nitelrooy is retired in May 2012, his name should not be in Italics any more, which suggests he is still playing. Ashishbirajdar ( talk) 19:01, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Argentina football player Hernán Crespo retired in November 2012 so his name shouldn't be in italics anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.18.56.97 ( talk • contribs) 17 December 2012

Francesco Totti is still an active football player. I suggest to remove the * next to his name.

Having links and flag icons in the section headers contravenes MOS:HEAD. I propose combining all entries into one single table, with a new Nationality column as the first column in the table. -- Jameboy ( talk) 23:42, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
