Schuster could have played. He was a head case then.

When I started watching football in the mid 90s, ESPN used to bring the Brasilerao regular. Carioca was a joy to behold. Real deft touch, vision, and could score too. Its a real shame he never play in a World Cup.

Of the names mentioned I'll go with Best and Weah... with honorable mention to Rush.
-
Djalminha
Leonson Lewis
Marco Simone
Andrei Kanchelskis (boycotted)
Alen Boksic (injury)
-
George Best is reguarded as the best player never to play in a world cup
-
Marcelinho Carioca is a nice call, but Brazil had better players who never make a World Cup imo. Big big ballers like Elber, Marcelinho : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcelinho , Evair & Jardel to name a few
-
George Best is reguarded as the best player never to play in a world cup
By whom?

Many of the football pundits although they were mainly from the British media

The list should be restricted to players who were never named to a WC finals roster or men like Weah who played for countries that did not make the WC ever or men like Leonson whose country made the WC but not when they were involved with the game or kicking any kinda brand.
Ah find if a man sitting on de bench that's testimony to something as well as tactical considerations. Whole different category (thankfully Latas is excluded from this category, albeit marginally)
Djalminha
Leonson Lewis
Marco Simone
Andrei Kanchelskis (boycotted)
Alen Boksic (injury)
Boksic was at WC 1990 with Yugoslavia ... but your point is well-taken ... just musing about fine-tuning the parameters.

me of course ;D ;D ;D

Boksic started all three games for Croatia in 2002

Yeah you're right- didn't remember that- I remember he didn't get any time in 90, and he was injured out of 98....
