    Now, I understand why they say you are the last great defender. Holy fuck, what a game.

    Pique will overtake him.

    Really hope that is sarcasm. Nesta is a top 10 player this decade, IMHO.

    Yeah, came back from 1-0 down with 2 goals by Nesta in the last 15 minutes of play.

    I'm joking. But Pique is a pretty phenomenal player for his age. At 22, his career's just starting, and I couldn't be happier because he's yet another player that has Barca in the heart.

    Still can't believe SAF gave him up for so little. I always picked him up when I was rebuilding a club in FIFA 07.

    I was pretty sure you were joking lol. I absolutely agree that Pique will end up being a tremendous defender. I just don't think they really make them like Nesta anymore... Italy has been unbelievably blessed with defensive talent in the last twenty years. Baresi, Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta, Zambrotta, and so many more. I really think you can make an argument for Nesta being a top 5 overall player this decade.

    He's a pretty classy person. He has refused to be Milan's captain out of loyalty and respect for his former team.

    He lost a lost post World Cup, but before you were a fan of the game (no disrespect), he was one of the best RB/LBs in the world.

    In retrospect, it's a God damn shame that Italy didn't win at least two tournaments this decade. Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Nesta, Maldini, and Buffon? You fucking kidding me?

    I'm not denying his talent, I just think he's dirty as fuck, and I'd love if someone punched the fucking smirk off his face after a dirty tackle.

    Funny thing is, is before he signed his contract extension with Barca, he was rumored to be linked with Milan.

    Alessandro Nesta will go down as one of the great defenders of this generation. Too bad he was in Maldini's shadow for so long and then Cannavaro appeared.

    If he was Spanish, English, Dutch, etc people would appreciate him much more.
