Past decade defenders own this decade defenders...

Out of that list I'd say Vidic though...

An interesting question, would Nesta succeed in a team in Spain?

nesta at his best own succeed in any team in the world, he has the two most important things true class defenders need to have and he has it in abundance.

Reading of the game and positioning, also has the ability to play the ball out of the defense.

the first two paramount to being able to play in most top Spanish teams

Right now it has to be Pique in my opinion.

Good job on putting Vermaelen up there btw.

Thiago Silva is the best defender on earth.For me, this indicated that most (Pique) is false.Have you ever watched how Thiago Silva played in Milan.Very rarely makes mistakes, even injured, then as updated player.

Funny that, but TS is like twice faster than Pique and his reading game ability is great too. But since he is injury prone it is hard for him to gain world's best defender name :)

I do not think Silva is twice as fast as Pique, not at all. He may be slightly quicker but i don't think its noticeable.

Pique kept up with Ronaldo: go to 1:02

Vidić and Pique hard to separate them, still Vidic's goal scoring ability makes him a better player. Pique for obvious reasons are the best when considering his age and his build ups are also unmatchable .
