Hey b23k.. I think you forgot to mention Rivaldo when you said Diego & Kaka... Carlo Ancelloti (Milan's coach) is fool... a real goofy like Van Gaal (near past in Barcelona) !! He does prefer Rui Costa than Rivaldo !! Oh my god !!! I've never seen Rui Costa play in a World Cup championship... Diego Maradona thinks the same !! 
I didn't forget at all, Rivaldo has alot of ability no doubt, but i have never liked him really. Not because he is Brasilian, but i have just never taken to him.
Rui Costa is like the whole of portugal's "golden generation" big underachievers, take away Figo and what of significance have players like Joao Pinto, Sa Pinto, Couto, Costa really achieved?
Internationally.......nothing, they even struggle to qualify for tournaments.
Rivaldo only came to Milan as an object that Berlusconi felt was needed, the story in Italy is that it was nice for Milan to have a recent WC winner in their squad.
I don't think Ancelloti is that much of a fool, he had a system that was working.........when you play Rivaldo you have to build the team around him, and i don't think he warrants that anymore.
I think Cruzeiro have done a bad thing signing him, it will cost them alot and bring them little. I hope Brasil continue to play Rivaldo because then you will suffer.......as an Argentine i would be much more concerned about Kaka, and in the next year or 2 Diego.
As for what Diego says, naturally he is one of my heroes (despite his flaws), but i wouldn't pay too much attention to what he says. He is not as bad as Pele, but sometimes Diego just says things without giving too much thought.
Pele, is the dumbest of the lot though......remember when he said Colombia would win WC94? And when he said an African side would win by 98? And he said some real stupid things in 2002, but i can't remember exactly what they were.
Alexx, thanks for bringing up Nedved, I can't believe i forgot him!!!!!!!!!!!!! For me, he is the no1 attacking mid in the world right now and will be huge at Euro 2004, Czech Rep are the darkhorse for the tournament, but Italy i think will win out.
