Rio Ferdinand vs Rivaldo & Ronaldo

At 23, Rio Ferdinand shone at the 2002 World Cup, earning a place in FIFA’s Team of the Tournament and a move to Manchester United.

As an apology I think you should make a Sol Camobell video, some highlighits of his WC 98, 2002, or Euro 2004. He was abolutely world class all that time and performed much better than Ferdinand.

A true vintage defender and someone who should be seen by the kids nowadays.
You're welcome.

Love it mate, easy to forget how good some of the english players from that generation were because of how underwhelming the team results were at times

English fans ive spoken to seem to massively underate him. But they love terry who couldnt hold a candle to ferdinand.

I'm trying to think of any CB better than him in the premier league, Terry and Vidic and maybe prime Van Dijk are the only others one I can think of in the same territory.

WHAT A LIE!!
He wasn't named in the World Cup team of the tournament, SOL CAMPBELL WAS!
Just google it out guys, takes a minute.

He was twice the player Ferdinand was at the time. Campbell was also in EURO 2004 team of the tournament. An absolutely better CB in his prime than Ferdinand ever was.
Such a BS video.
