Would you agree that Zidane was the best midfield player over the last decade?
If yes, would you then say Lampard is his equal? No.

So if he is not as good as Zidane who is World Class, how in turn can he be World Class

but on the same respect if we have people sat there calling all and sundry world class then lampard has every right to be in the same bracket

Zidane is a legend, to me thats a different thing all together to world class, thats something extra special

World class has become far more generic im afraid, it doesnt hold the great esteem it always used to have. Its still something special but its not legendary status.



Think of it as the supercar anaology, go back to the 80's and there were very few supercars, the Testarossa, Countach et al made the grade.

Fast forward 20 years and theres simply tons of supercars around, so we have a new term now....Hypercar, becuase you cannot lump the bugatti Veyron into the same bracket as a Porsche 911 carrera.....

so what of those players that never performed at the world cup through no fault of their own, were they not world class. Did George Best ever play at the world cup? IF not does that mean he wasnt world class?

Also when have you ever heard Lampard controled that game. He great goal scorer in the prem but as a AM imo needs more to his game to be considered world class. Kaka would be worldclass standard for that postion,as ronaldinho is for winger and rudd is as a goalscorer/striker

Lampard's not mobile, can't beat a player with skill or a bit of pace, his very good at what he does but you coud'nt say he is world class
