Thomas Ravelli - isn't it he, who keeps qualification record in Europe with most shoot outs???

Ravelnilli or something
Another thing, did Thomas Brolin play as a GK before he retired
I loved by the way his celebration rasing his hand 90 degrees and doing a jump and spin, I used to do it till I was 14 years old whenever I scored


back then when I was a kid I liked it too..

right now, I think it's the gayest celebration ever... :)

equally gay was Kenneth Anderssons I believe..

What about Dahlin and that great GK who played in WC 94 (can't remember his name!)

About Zlatan, wait until he is 30 and make the decision again. You said you are fan of Malmo and I guess this is a factor. Ah well, these things are very subjective at the end of the day.

Dahlin and Ravelli, yea bot of them a greats of the game:) However I don't feel they can match Larrsson, Ibra and Brolin. These three have accomplished more then the others, and they have been at a higher level doing it. Ravelli and Dahlin would make my top ten.

And what about that Russian youngster who asked for Estonian citizenship? (Nikita Andreev???) Maybe your future star.

No. He didn't ask for Estonian citizenship. We're letting him go. He is already a ****ing youth star in Russian U19 team. Scored five times or so in the second part of this year when he was called up. Young hard-working lad, not that talented, but hard-working and pacy. He'd definately be our future star. He is already probably the best striker in the league and due to our shitty strikers at the moment probably the 2nd best Estonian if he'd have our citizenship. We could offer him a one, but he wants to play for Russia. Just got 18, Newcastle had like tons of trouble againist him and scored a nice technical goal againsit Twente in the previous round. I hope he doesn't go away and will stay for atleast next season too. CSKA asked him for trials earlier this month. Watch out for him, I see big future for him, though not with Estonia.

Valery Karpin, I'm sure people have heard about him too, was born in Estonia and lived most of his life here aswell.

We had some hotshots during the CCCP times. One striker had the potential to be world class, but then he went to Sweden and something happened to him and then he gave up on football.

Ragnar Klavan has got some potential too. Has got interest from PSV, Ajax and Feyenoord. Maybe moving at January but highly doubt so. Plays for Heracles regulary.

And two brothers went to test in Chelsea and soon they'll go to PSV or somewhere, but the level of Estonian youth is really pathetic. No wonder we've fallen like 50-60 places over the past 4 years or so.

A young 14-year old went to test in Milano Inter and Werder Bremen from Estonia. :)

He in case become's a big player, he'll probably play for Estonia. He also speaks the language and is said to be a really nice dude. I try to get his connections though. He got a great feedback from both teams. :)

The best players to come out of Malta are

Carmel Busuttil
Michael Mifsud (he still plays and a Premiership team wants to sign him)

Luckily enough we produced possibly (according to Pele anyway) THE greatest player to grace the beautiful game.
George Best............lest we forget.

Mifsud played for Lillestrøm back here in Norway for some years. Good player who on his best days created hysteria in the opponent's defence. Decent player, but I doubt he'll make it really big. Well, no one in Norway, except talented Norwegians of young age, rarely make it big :)

Back to Norwegian players, "the Drillos" of the 90's consisted of some of the maybe greatest players of Norwegian origin, at least in modern time. Solskjær, Tore Andre Flo (played for Chelsea, Rangers and Siena), Mykland (had a career in Germany if I'm not mistaken) and all the players that went to England. Henning Berg, Ronny Johnsen at Man Utd along with Solskjær won the CL in 99. Bjørnebye were fairly successful at Blackburn and later Liverpool. Later, Carew is a well-known player I guess. Kjetil Rekdal (Belgium, Hertha Berlin). Erik Thorstvedt (Tottenham, Chelsea). Erland Johnsen (Chelsea, Bayern). Rune Bratseth (Werder Bremen)

But I still rate Solskjær highest. He has been incridible. Many of the names I've named surely is unknown to you, if you're not in some special way related to clubs or episodes being linked with the player(s). If you know something about the Norway WC 1998 squad, you're dealing with some of the more famous players from Norway. Norway never has (or never will be) as good as they were at the time.

Oh, some of you may remember Alf-Inge Haaland. He was the one who was so brutally tackled by Roy Keane that he had to retire. Not a great player but one you may be able to relate to.
