he would still be the best

no your wrong. He would be good but not the best.

He was second, gazza was the best player in the tournament by a long way.

Being top goalscorer doesn't mean you are the best player. eg. Maradona was in 86 and not Lineker.

Not only because he was topscorer, but he played good football in the second best performing team in the competition. To take the starting spot away from Vialli, getting ahead of Serena in the pecking order (Serena scored 22 goals in 88/89) meant he was playing well and finishing too.

You came 3rd that year.

As for the rest you could say the same about Gazza. Not likely to be in the starting line up until Robson picked up an "injury".

I know we came third, that's why I said second best performing - Argentina were horrible all tournament.

I think you're being harsh on germany then, to have yourself as second.

Look at Italia 90, Gazza was the best player in the tournament by miles.[/quote]

u reckon? there were many standouts in that tournament. milla, schillaci, Gazza, a young lad named baggio, and so on. Not sure if he was best player though
