and my favourite player to watch including ZZ, Messi and both Ronaldo's - is Ronaldinho, hands down. The man was magic, and still is.
Look at this hatrick from just 9-10 days ago.....

He also got 2 assist in this game, including one with his trademark "look the other way pass".
I would love him to make the Brazil Squad for Rio 2014 and go out with one more magic world cup a la Zidane (minus the headbutt ofcourse ) . Doubt it will happen though.
Most exciting player ever.....

I have an international football radio show at uni, and Ronaldinho's hat-trick was my Performance of the Week. He also made two assists that game, the second of which went as such:
Picked the ball up in the centre circle, nutmegged one, skipped past two more, charged up the field, then played an incredible 'no look' through ball through to the striker to finish.
His step-father passed away the day before the game, hence him breaking down after his first goal.
Hero.

He could of picked any of the home nations aswell to play for!

And France I think?
Imagine a front 2 , Cantona and Papin, with Ginola and LeTiss playing off them with Deschamp and Desailly holding.
I'd quite enjoy wathcing that actually.

Ronaldinho was unlucky not to be picked for the last World cup imho. But I doubt if he'll make the next one.

Ronadlinho for me also....
I remember sitting with my mate and watching the Barca chelsea game at stamford bridge.... Ronadlinho standing at edge of the box with the ball at his feet and about 5 chelsea players round him he just poked it right into the bottom corner... ped cech was helpless
two of us jumped up at the same like.... WOW!
things he could do with a ball was frightening...

A-Bear - that was a peach. I also remember him destroying Real at the Bernabeu and the Madrid fans giving him a standing ovation when he was substituted That speaks for itself.
