I loved Rivaldo too. Before 2002 he had a fame in Brazil of being a 'club' player, that is, of playing better for Barcelona than the national team. But while it might have been true for a few friendlies and lesser competitions, it was extremely unfair in terms of the only competition that really matters: the World Cup. I think he was really good in 1998 and then excellent in 2002 - the best player of that tournament IMO.
