You forgot to also add jose bosingwa,one of the best transfer deals of the season
anyway i think alves is better than maicon,but alves is a little bit temperamental

Maicon is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than Alves. He's got the lung power of Alves, he's just as fast, better crossing, he's stronger and more defensively aware. Hence, Maicon is first choice for Brazil and Alves gotta chill on the bench.

@ Tudor

J.B is no where near Maicon and Alves!

Wat a close one?Maicon is good,he is rugged,i think he is a better defender,but alves is skillful and more attacking minded,he suits barca style of play.i will miss him in final

I dont agree maicon is better he is good going forward but very lazy defending.

Both are not good defending

I would stick to Dani Alves

The coaches in Brasil know whos better
Alves sits on the bench for Maicon so judge for urself

Maicon should be better

I hope the coaches in France knew better too
or how did Frey sit on the bench for Madanda and Coupet.
Pires sit on the bench for Malouda
And Sagna sit on the bench for Francois Clerc.

We also have to consider that Maicon is an older member of the Brazilian team.
The difference in quality is marginal either way so its a no brainer if he benches Alves in the National team given his experience

I dont know how you want Pires to bench Malouda.

as for Maicon, age has nothing to do with the national team selection, if Alves is better, he'll be chosen ahead of him
when Cincinho was in form, he benched Maicon in the National team so what are you talking about?

Alves is just another Evra. he'll probably be looked at when hes about retiring cos i see Maicon playing that role for a long time

I'll stick to dani alves

Maicon!!!
Alves is a shower of shit.
His performance against Chelsea at SB should put him in La Liga's lower division.
All his crosses went to row Z.

Dont ever compare Alves to Evra. . . . can Alves mark someone like Evra marked Messi in last years UCL?. . . . Alves even makes mediocres like Malouda look classy. . . . just because Evra and Maicon attack, it doesnt mean they can't defend. . . . When Inter played Man Utd, Maicon was under sepcific instructions to defend, and he performed admirably. . . . can you imagine Mourinho giving such detail to Alves?. . . . Alves wont be able to cope. . . . Alves HAS TO attack cos he CANT defend. . . .

Okay

Like Ibime said, you are a MUGU.

That was the only time Messi got past Evra.
In other seven 1 V 1 incidents, Evra raped Messi countless times.
You can check the player ratings of the 2 legged tie of all leading sport sites.

Maicon was completely disgraced by Rooney. he couldnt do anything all night both attacking and defending.

Rooney was tracking back and dispossesing maicon like he was a cripple.

Go and watch the match again Man Utd 2 Inter 0

thanks my brosss, let then watch the match again and see how man-u forwarders disgrace inter defend before they can judge,
alves is better more better than both,let wait and see Evral and Messi again

@Khanye

Messi sold Evra for 50 kobo there!! JEEEEEZ Not to worry Messi will celebrate his champions league win this season!!

i hope so

Evra did all of this but could not mark AARON LENNON

Another proof that Sauron does not like Barca(envy), what he said was the opposite in his heart. FAKE DUDE.

Since Mexes was benched/leftout for Boumsong by the French coach, we can conclude Boumsong is better

Since Mexes was benched/leftout for Boumsong by the French coach, we can conclude Boumsong is better

that brings us back to the arguement we had in the past
Evra and Abidal!!
can you remember your arguement? Abidal was better cos he played ahead of Evra then
so what are you on about?

how many lines of tots do you have sef? ure confused or what?

As at 2008 I felt Abidal was better not only because he plays ahead of Evra.

Evra got a breakthrough into the national team around 2004 when he was with Monaco but the coaches realised he was too poor and Abidal was better than him. and he was dropped He had like7caps at the age of 27.forsomeone who got capped like 5years earlier.5 years 7 caps

Recently Evra has picked up but Abidal has dipped in form No longer the Abidal of Lyon. Right now Evra is better than Abidal

Maicon vs Alves. I go for Maicon

Evra vs Abidal. Evra all the way.

praxx:

Yea, it happens when you don't put enough cover ahead of Evra.
In the matches Lennon had outfoxed Evra, Nani(who doesn't track back) was the culprit who kept exposing Evra to 2 Tottenham players.
Evra was put in a situation where he had to deal with Corluka and Lennon all the time.
As soon as SAF drafted Rooney ahead of Evra, Lennon faded into the abyss.

You are a consummate schmuk. . . . . .
So because you found a link where normal people were discussing the best right back in the world makes em a genius.
90% of the people who made comments there don't even watch football on TV.
They are ordinary twats(like you)!!!!

Maicon is better than Alves everyday of the week.

Maicon is better . . .

But i prefer my Sagna above the former He's the best In THE EPL and if the EPL is the best in the world . .then i think Sagna is the best
