The Ten Best Soccer Players in The World
Just a recap of the some of the best and most talented soccer players in the world. There are so many talented players, but these are no doubt some of the best. There is no particular order.

Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi is definitely one of the best soccer players in the world. His national team is Argentina while he plays for FC Barcelona as his club team. It is no doubt that Messi is one of the most talented and most skillful performers on the planet. Messi was the UEFA Champions League top scorer in 08-09. Lionel Messi mesmerizes defenders and makes goalies look useless. He is definitely one of the ten best players in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo, the Madrid savior, now has the pressure of the Madrid citizens after being transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid. With this picture (above) outlining the entire Madrid Metro, Cristiano Ronaldo has the whole city of Madrid on his shoulders. This electrifying player who tallied 42 goals in the 07-08 season now looks to help Madrid defeat their rival Barcelona in route to try to win a title in 09-10. This Portuguese phenom deserves to be in the top ten.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
This Swede recently made headlines by joining the already powerhouse Barcelona. He was transferred from Serie A team of Inter Milan. Ibrahimovic has the ability to change the game in one blink of the eye. The dynamic forward will benefit Barcelona as he looks to team up with Henry and Messi. Ibra’s 25 goals saw him take home the coveted Capocannoniere for the first time in his career.
Steven Gerrard
The Liverpool Captain, Steven Gerrard, has all the talent in the world. This Englishman has the ability to control a game and to thread the needle. “Stevie G” has many different awards that only support his case to be on this list. He was the FWA Player of the Year, PFA Fans’ Player of the Year, PFA Team of the Year, and March’s Premier League Player of the Month, enough said.
Samuel Eto’o
Samuel Eto’o was Ibrahimovic’s counterpart in the Inter, Barcelona transfer deal. Inter Milan definitely didn’t get the big shaft in this deal. It is debatable that Ibrahimovic is better than Eto’o or vice versa, but either way both of these players are very talented and dynamic. This Cameroon native has a tendency to run his mouth, but his performance is enough to back it up. It be may be debatable whether he belongs in the top ten, but nevertheless he has great skill.
Kaka
Kaka was another big signing from Real Madrid’s spending spree this summer. Kaka definitely makes Real Madrid a contender especially with the addition of his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. This talented Brazilian transferred from AC Milan to Real Madrid in hopes of contending for a Champions League Title. This midfielder has an argument to be in the top ten with his list of awards. Some of his individual awards include: 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup Golden Ball, 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup Best XI, and Time 100 Most Influential People In The World 2009.
Xavi
Xavi Hernadez is not the fastest player in the world, nor does he have the best foot skills. This center midfielder is definitely one of the best players in the world. He is one of the best creators in the game. Xavi orchestrates Barcelona’s every move. The team moves through this talented player. This native Spain player was the top assist provider in La Liga as well as the top assist provider in Champions League. Is there a better assist man out there?
Andres Iniesta
Andres Iniesta, was possibly one the most underrated players out there. Now the 25 year old, with his breakout season, has represented Spain at every age. This humble superstar has never had the publicity or popularity as other players out there, but he lets his talent speak for itself. Along with his other teammates, Iniesta’s stunning performances have shinned out throughout the past year.
Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard, the Chelsea superstar, is placed on this list for a number of reasons. The midfielder has been one of the most consistent players in the past years. Lampard has continued to dazzle in front of goal, as well as in the middle of the field, where he has cut defences open with accurate passes struck over unthinkable distances. Being Chelsea’s 2009 Player of the Year is definitely an impressive award. Chelsea is loaded with talent and is always considered a high contender.
Fernando Torres
Fernando Torres is a terrific striker. He originates from Spain and plays for Liverpool with Stevie G.
With excellent control, great technique, unreal awareness, and great balance, Torres is one of the top center forwards in the world. This player has the ability to take over a single game within seconds.
*This list is not exact and there are many other players that qualify for this list.

Good Stuff. Very well written.
Keep the good work on.
Best Regards
Great players indeed,
nicely done.
Good post….
Should have called it \”top ten best attacking players\”. you didnt have one defender or defensive mid
Gerrard, Lampard, Xavi, Et’o,
Wheres Ribery, Robhino, Drogba…..
mmmm,,,,,u forget the great talisman…WAYNR ROONEY 10
where is Luis Fabiano
where is Ribery??
r u mentally retarted, where is pele
PELE AND RONALDO (Lima)
the best plyer is WAYNE ROONEY THEN MESSI TAHN RONALDO AND TORRES SHOULD BE 5TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
eto\’o should be on the list…. he is the man not only showing it at Inter but everywhere he plaez aye…AWESome post An1wa3
u must be coocoo in the head or somethimg i mean where is Pele and Maradona and in that list are only attackers no defenders or midfield in there.
I think Ronaldinho deserves to be on the list.
rohnaldino
were da heck is fabregas
wow ronaldinio is out the list and he was the best player in the world for years but messi is the best
Quaresma must be in the list.Frank lampard does’nt deserve to be in the list . I hope Frank lampard can be thrown and quaresma can take his place
where the f*** is ronaldinho
Why did U say Eto’o in the top ten is debatable? Is Torres bettee than Eto\’o or Iniesta or Xavi. Where is Drogba in the list. Anyway, good selection but take more time to reflect on a player
wow I think Henry should be in the top ten…he is the best…
i think rooney must be there in the 10 top platers
da list is dum ronaldo is da best….were is roinho??=)
Im just wodering wer the hell is Ronaldinho?
I dont really agree with this list
this is a great list but i would remove Frank Lampard or Andres Iniesta and add Ronaldinho…no doubt, its actually quite ridiculous that ronaldinho isnt on this list…he has better ball handling then all of these players but then again, this is just opionion, my list would be completely different besides kaka, xavi, ronaldo, messi, and ibrahimovic
Where is Ronaldinho? Why everybody says that hes not good player anymore? In my opinion he was/is best player in the world.
i would say that CR is the best//// for sure Andres and xavi, and ebra, messi i give it to him a lil’…. besides the point where is Ronaldinho..??? umm wat happend to the best gk’s out there, a team without a gK, or no defenders is nada…. Pique, puyol, Fernidand, or someone has to be on the top players of the world…. i am just sayin… We all know the Cristiano is the best though.. hopefully he takes the Euro and the World cup and he will for sure be the greatest player in the world….
oh and HUgo Sanchez, he was one of the best too.///
beckham.
david beckham…
Quaresma??? are you being serious? He’s nothing but a bit part player..he’s average at best
The only thing Cristiano is the best at Andres is flopping.
Messi all the way.
ronaldinho is best player in the world
Messi is THE BEST PLAYER in the world then comes Zlatan Ibrahimovic. In the barca-madrid classic,ronaldo didnt do anything but Messi did and Ibrahimovic did too. Ronaldo is not the best Messi is now. U guys just cant accept dat Messi is the Best
Eto Fils, a force to reckon with
How come Ronaldinho isn’t on this list! This list is retarded! Ronaldinho is the best right know. Then Messi. Then Henrry.Then C Ronaldo. And where’s Pele and Meridona?
i think pplz shd vote thierry henry
HAGI HIS THE BEST
G.HAGI was the best
i agree messi to be on top but u missing ronaldinho
where is ronaldinhoooooooooooooo !!
DIDIER DROGBA! BEST STRIKER IN THE WORLD
C.Ronaldo is the best and always will be the best people think messi is good but all messi does is driible the ball Ronaldo on the other hand has speed skill and beautiful kicks
Ronaldo for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice article, really did enjoy it!
I made the same point you made with Xavi in one of my articles. Speed is not everything!
C.Ronaldo is the best soccer player in the world.
CR7 or CR9 is better than Kaka- Messi – Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Steven Gerrard – Samuel Eto’o-Xav i- Andres Iniesta – Frank Lampard-Fernando Torres… 100%
C.Ronaldo is the best soccer player 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 20013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 …….. 2035.
Is good in the Skill – Freestyle and Free kicks 101% .
Daman = C.ronaldo 100%
Marcio = MESSI 0.00%
Messi is not the best soccer player in the world it’s C.Ronaldo the best soccer player is the world.
You are jaless.
Ronaldo is the best soccer player in the world and in the future he will stay number 1 the best soccer player in the world.
messi is not the best because he doesd goal semi final 2 arsenal-manu. 2008 nt have good shooting power.And if you have seen ronaldo top 10 goals its amaizing,and remember the midfeil

this is the list 1. messi 2. ronaldo 3. kaka 4. ibrahimovic 5. eto’o 6. xavi 7. lampard 8. gerrard 9. iniesta 10. torres ronaldinho still has that touch but not as a couple years ago he would be around 11th 12th 13th at the least and for al saying pele maradona hagi this is the best in the world right know who are actually playing
wher”s the best player ronaldinho
ronaldo? robinho? wtf is wrong with you
Ronaldinho is good in Freestyle.
Ronaldinho is number 1 in Freestyle .
Cristiano Ronaldo STAR in 1993 and total Career goals = 136
5 goals in Sporting CP
118 goals in Manchester United
13 goals in Real Madrid
messi is number one .do u think that because you can kick free kicks makes you better than the man that can dribble with the ball from his half and only way to take it from him is to foul him .c ronaldo cant dribble he can only take free kicks and take on one or two defenders while messi take on the whole darn field .just appriciate both of them for their talents.

Messi is THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD dey should replace Lampard with Ronaldinho and Eto with Rooney
Messi is THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD dey should replace Lampard with Ronaldinho and Eto with Rooney
FABREGAS IS BETTER THAN XAVI AND INIESTA….2010 STATISTICS 21 GAMES 11 GOALS 11 ASSITS…BETTER THAN XAVI AND INIESTA
YOU BITCHES DIDNT PUT RONALDINHO IN DER DIZ LIST WOULD BE SHIT IF IT WUZNT 4 MESSI. PENDEJOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what are you smoking?
you,guys are totally wrong what’s up with Ronaldinho he is the best player ever…ever….
You guys should add to this list maradona he is the best player ever!
Ok lets get some things strraight Maradona of all people is not the best. Secondly where is wayne Rooney he is easiley ranked in the top 3 best for his skill latley. Definitley replace Rooney with Xavi like wtf who the fucks xavi. You have 4 people from Barcelona kinda weird maby your a Barca fan idk but you need others Wayne Rooney is definatley one of them he can also replace Torres because Torres is garbage now
Oh and people are saying Drogba should be posted….. He was good maby 9 months now hes going down hill like thiery Henry. Ronaldinho 1 year ago should be up thier but now hes just ok. I agree with alex comment iniesta and xavi are not the good of players i would rather have Ronaldinho or even Fabregas whos a good player. People who are saying Ronaldo should go top just go fuck yourself honestly hes a fag, hes a great player but he definatley has sex with 8 guys before his games. Hes too much skill not enough work. Watch when he plays if he losses the ball while hes doing skills he doesint do anything. Where as Rooney will run all the fucking way back to defense and tear him down to get the ball and then run all the way back up and score just like he did latley
Where is T.henry
My opinion is:
1. Messi
2. C. Ronaldo
3. Kaka
4. Rooney
5. F. Torres
6. Xavi
7. Lampard
8. Gerrard
9. Terry
10. Giggs
Ronaldo has the quickest feet;
Messi has the best moves;
Kaka is a team player;
Ranoldinho is a grampa;
Fernando torres all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ronaldinho ??
You\’re missing the World Best Player and that\’s me. I single handedly can play against 11 players and win by 10 goals or more. My other 10 teammates can just sit and read newspaper by the byline. I cannot understand why I am not on the list.
This was a good list. People don’t understand that this list is based on the top 10 players now, not ever. Cristiano Ronaldo is by far the best in the world. Either then that I agree these player have showed spectacular skill this past season and are difference makers. Sorry but Ronaldihno is washed up. Touch is still there but he isn’t nearly as quick as before. Messi only uses his left foot and has missed many easy goals with his ” weak” foot. C. Ronaldo is quicker than Messi and uses both feet well. Not to metion his free kick accuarcy. I’m reading some of these posts and wondering if these people have been watching the latest games. Do some homework before you ask why David beckhem is not on the list.
Peace
Y\’all are a bunch of retards. First off, its greatest players in the world today not of all time. Second, last time I checked Xavi was a midfielder, so don\’t say its all strikers. Third, learn to freaking spell right.
yea there is a better assist man out there fabregas
25 games 14 goals 13 assists
xavi 24 games 2 goals 6 assists
09-10 season
You forgot Zinedine Zidane at?
if you were so good superman then why arent you playing professionally jackass? oh let me guess cause you were too good for them too right? please get a new hobby kid no body cares about your fake stories so go bullshit to someone who cares cause no one on here does
HELLS YEA MESSI IS THE BEST SOCCER PLAYER IN THE WORLD!!!
CRISTIANO SHOULDNT BE ON THE TOP 10 CUZ HE SUCKS!!!
WHERE IS RONALDINHO???
Torres is the best player ever.
C.Ronaldo is the best of best siccer player in the world
Fuck messi
messi 0%
C.R 7 or 9 100%
Your review of Samuel Eto’o is horrible.You only spent one sentance saying anything good about him.He has achived many thing that soccer players dream of (Including Ibrahimovic,whom you also mentioned in Eto’o review). You were not objective and obviously do not like him.You say he runs his mouth,i guess you haven’t heard what some Juventus players and Inter milan players had to say about Ibra.NWHERE THE HELL IS MICHAEL ESSIEN,DROGBA,ROONEY,ROBEN,FABREGAS OR THE DANIE ALVES?
f%#k. I\’m still pissed off that you said that s&#t about Eto\’o.Show me a player your list who can say they played in 2 UEFA champions league finals and scored in both of them.118 goals in 144 games for Barcelona.You make a big deal about Ibrahimovic’s 25 goals in Italy;that is just below Eto\’o\’s average per season for the past FOUR years (except for when he was injured(17 goals in 18 games).Ibrahimovic may have been a hero in the Italian backyard but the Champions league is the real test of quality(Ibra has nothing to show for that). Since Eto\’o became captain of Cameroon, they have only lost 2 games (leadership).I am a Barca fan and i know we shouldn\’t have let Eto\’o go (I miss his workrate,speed and ability to find open spaces,let alone finishing).
Where is antonio Valencia. dudes!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE SOCCER
EL PIBE VALDERRAMA!!!!
MATE RONALDO IS THE BOMB MESSI CAN LIK IT
Cr definetly best playing right now ball hog yes but so was pele and maradona and old school ronaldo people who played with ronaldo not cr said he was the most amazing player with the ball only one that should be mentioned with pele maradona is ronaldo cr is catching up messi is a playmaker without messis and people like ibrahimovic there would not be players scoring like cr and torres
messi is the best nobody can beat his speed except christiano ronaldo
what a joke… eto? lampard? and i dont know when this was written but ibra and gerrard definatly arent there based on this season…as for writing about “xavi not having the best foot skills” xavi has amazing footskills, not step overs and stuff but when it comes to technique, controling the ball and avoiding tackles his fantastic…the best at the moment is
1.messi
2.rooney (maybe not as flashy as ronaldo but is a much better team player and has a better overall game)
3.ronaldo
4.xavi
5.iniesta
6.torres
7.villa
8.maicon
9.drogba
10.hiquain (or maybe arshavin)
it was good list but that does not prove messi is better in the world, kaka dominated soccer in 2007 he played the best he scored a lot goals better than messi. i remember that time one he scored against Manchester were he ran so fast and two defense of Manchester was beside him he give a head with ball and two defense bump each other and kaka walked pass them and scored the goal with his feat. i mean wow good goal. but now messi was better, but between Kaka , Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. the best in 2007 or 2008 or 2009 i think 2007 was impressive, i think best year of soccer between these three years.
not bad, but undoubtedly Rooney is todays worlds best striker
ronaldo is da worse play ever by da way if u want diz to be a good list put pele in it
Rooney is over-rated. He has potential but his temperament is suspect
my best these playerz are best so 4 4ever

You didn’t mention ronaldo, beckham, or puyol i mean comon that guy just owns on defence, coming from a center defender myself. i know it is hard work everyone thinks its not but my forward played my position and he didnt do well and he agreed its one of the hardest positions to fill.
You forgot the best, C. Ranaldo is the skillest baller alive now but the #1 i and should be Wayne Rooney.
yo y messi first ronaldo kills messi hardcore. Messi cant do shit

LISTEN PEOPLE ROONEY IS THE REAL DEAL AND SO C. RONALDO.. now we all agree manchester has the most fans!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE UTD. chelsea = cheap goals ( OFFSIDE?!?!!?!?? )
xxxx
wear is robinho and kun ageria and bojna
My top as of 7 April 2010 (with my reasons):
1. Cristiano Ronaldo – most effective dribbler + massively powerful shot + passes the ball, brilliant off-the-ball movement also, always hungry for goals
2. Ronaldinho – the best ball player in the world, can deliver unbelievable passes, shots, free kicks with extremely effective dribbling, doesn’t always move as good as he should off-the-ball otherwise he would be even more effective
3. Fernando Torres – very effective dribbler+shooter, tall fast and powerful, good eye for goal
4. Lionel Messi – arguably the best finisher in the world when near or in front of goal, good dribbling ability, doesn’t always pass first-time when he should, cannot deliver long range passes and shots, brilliant off-the-ball movement, always hungry for goals
5. Cesc Fabregas – Finds teammates when he should, excellent finisher, great dribbling and off-the-ball movement
6. Samuel Eto’o – pace, technique, finishing with effective dribbling.
7. Florent Malouda – pace, power, technique, defending
8. Didier Drogba – power, pace, technique
9. Wayne Rooney (injured) – brilliant technique, unbelievable off-the-ball movement, not the best dribbler
10. Gonzalo Higuain – goals, vision
I forgot about Arjen Robben! I put him at number 5 after Messi! And I think Ribery is arguably better than Higuain (not sure). Other players I don’t know which MIGHT be there but I’m unable to place right now are Jermaine Defoe (injured) and Marouane Chamakh (Bordeaux).
ROONEY!!!!
sht all the people Ronaldo shld be on top and he is way better then Rooney 1st of all Ronaldo rarly ever lost the ball may be 0.5 times out of ten he lost the ball and Wht the hell r u talking abt, Rooney rarly comes back hardly come all the way back whn he losses the ball and stop bringing roony in the top 3 because top 3 are ( #1 C.Ronaldo,and rest could be either Ronaldinho or kaka .You r forgeting Raul
C.Ronaldo is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
woooow alotta ppl on here cant read! the guy who posted this clearly said there were many talented players in the world this is simply his top 10. ronaldinho was unstoppable a couple years back but hes quickly losing his touch. rooney is definately a good player but i dont know about best in the world as some people have said on here. ribery robben higuain drogba essien villa silva etc. are all GREAT players but unfortunately not every one can be at the top of the list.
dammn good post. sounds like you got some good playing experience not just watching games saturday and sunday morning.
CRISTIANO RONALDO ES EL MAS CHINGON !
CRISTIANO RONALDO ES Y SIEMPRE VA SER EL MEJOR QUE TODOS !
Y ALGÚN DIA EL CHICHARITO VA SER DE LOS TOP 10 !
.:Madrid & Jalisco:.
Robben? Van der Vaart? Van Persie? Sneijder? Bergkamp? Van Nistelrooy? Kuyt? Seedorf?
IT’S GREAT LOOKING RONALDO AND KAKA IN THE LIST BT MESSI SHOULD BE ALSO THE IN TOP 10
oh cristiano uare like my foot
Messi your the best in the world. Every time I play soccer I pick you. My brother picks you too. I\’m your number one fan. My brother is too. I,m not sure because other fans are Barcelona fans. I like the way you play. That was a good goal when you played vs Real Madrid.

Interesting article on how memory of recent performances effects who we think is the greatest player.
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-big-questions/201004/lionel-messi-memory-research-and-fan-ratings
FUCK YOU AND YOUR MUMS MESSI IS FUCKEN THE BEST
In my opinion, this list is incomplete in that it does not consider the name of George Oppong Weah, a person who won the World’s best player in 1995 without going to world cup, something that is a requirement for such title! This list requires revision.
were is rooney
messi is the best but were is rooney come on BURNLEY
u guys r retarded. ronaldinho DOES NOT deserve to be on this list. anywhere between 4 to 7 years ago he would’ve been on this list no doubt but now he’s a shadow of his former self. he’s still good but not as great as the players on this list. and yeah rooney should be on the list as well he is without a doubt one of the best players now. ronaldinho had his time he WAS the best.
i think that giovanni dos santos should be on the list , hes a good player.
the best player is in kaka;ronaldinho;messi;henry;beckham;fennando tores;cristiano
ronaldo;Van persie;lampard;robinho;xavi;Iniseta
i bet henry is the best
OMG this kid is not in Professional SOccer But he should He goes to greenfield Central High School Name is Dustin McConnell
xavi and iniesta r the best
wheres henrey, ronaldinho and rooney
Kaka should be no. 3
best player is
drogba
terry
lampard
essien
ballack
a cole
j cole
peter czeh
ivanovich
kaluo
anelka
maluda
carvalio
zjirkov
ferera
You just have to put some defenders and Rooney.
Ronaldinho , Robinho , Beckham sucks they are very old and losers Fuck them Fuck them
um hello???? where is ronaldinho???? i really like messi and the defense puyol…but the best one is ronaldinho..just kuz he dont play with EL BARÇA dont mean yall have to leave hem out…
where’s Salvador Cabanas dumbass / and Wayne Rooney
Club america all day blue and yellow bby
no one cant stop messi at this moment hes better then ronaldo kaka u name it hes better
messi is the best…i like his play omg …i want a soccer player……like messy………….
Messi,ronaldo,kaka,rooney,xavi,torres,ribery,gerrard,Ibrahimovich,eto’o
Messi,ronaldo,kaka,rooney,xavi,torres,ribery,gerrard,Ibrahimovich,eto\’o
just ONE THE DEATH MAN “I PHENOMENON R9″
RONALDO – KING of skills , dribbles , tricks and moves ! ! ! (Best of Fenomeno ever)
QUARESMA IS THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!11
I AM GAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
& an asshole , motherfucker , dork , dweep , shitbag , & ALSO IMPOTENT !!!!!!!!!!
lol u made a big mistake,
u missed WAYNE ROONEY
thats dumb MESSI by far is the best but u r missing wayne rooney
Ronaldo is awsoooome Messi is a loser
Ronaldo is awsome everyone else is a loser
your right man messi sucks c.ronaldo rocks.
Arjen Robben?
cristiano ronaldo should be first like lionel messi is a loser he sucks
i agree with ronal and sahand
who so ever says messi fucking the best ha!ha!ha! that is not true do u want to really now who is the best soccer player in the world it is C. Ronaldo is the best is the whole world!!!. ,xavi,tores ribery, gerrard, eto are the worst players u can ever find
man utd is the best team u can ever think of.
dude, i think ur missing 1 little not so important player.
WAYNE FUCKING ROONEY!!
even though im a big liverpool fan and probably el nino’s biggest fan ever, i stil really think rooney is one of the best strikers ever. wheres drogba and ribery?? u must be retarted mate. what about David Villa or David Silva?? i really dont think u r the smartest person in the world.
Fernando Torres should definately be first on the list. He’s got everything a striker needs. Pace, precision, power, timing. Everything to make a perfect striker.
hello
hola
kola
i think dider drogba is the best striker in the world look at him this season if u wanna debate add me on gangsta_nasar786@hotmail.co.uk Looolsz
1. Messi 2. Robben…
Where are most players (RIBERY-ROBBEN-BALLACK-KLOSE-KUYT-BENAYOUN-AQUILANI-RONALDINHO-PELE-ZIDANE-DROGBA-TERRY-ROONEY) Like seriously who ever made this page doesn’t know any thing
i think messi is the best right now but C.Ronaldo is still amazing but its messi’s turn to come out on top C.Ronaldo had his time to show his stuff and he did good but their always is that other player that is just as good or better also u cant forget ronaldinho but the god of soccer has to be Pele…………no body can beat him
theirs no best player alot of players are amazing u cant compare until u see them go but soon………… i bet u in a couple years i will one of the best in the world cuz im already preparing to go to Italy to play with my odp team and im 13

ALL MORONS THIS IS LIST OF 2010 MARADONA AND PELE PLAYED LATE IN THE 70s I THINK AND RONALDINHO QUITED IN 2008
where the fuck is rhonaldinio i disagree in this list
messi your the best and will always be i wish to meet u some day and to play with barcelona’and i from saint-maarten but im a boy ok
Ibra is been overated, and does not deserve to be in the top ten he must be replaced by DAVID VILLA.
didier drogba is the most deserving player that is not on this list. he is better forward than torres, better than ibrahimovic, i believe he is a top five in world footballer.
personally i think KAKA is the best player in the world
wher’s Ronaldinho, pato, lui suarez,rooney,rooben,rebery,drogba,robinho,fabragous ,hugyain and other magicians i think messi z da best then ronaldihno ,torres ,rooney then the rest don’t matter as long as kaka izn’t on the 2010 list
messi #1 in the world for sure. yea ronaldo is a top player. wheres drogba rooney? best strikers in the world.

MESSI IS THE BEST!!!!!

are you people crazy for not putting Ronaldinho on this list?!?!?!?!
how dare you????? He is and will always be one of the worlds best ever and deserves to be in ANY soccer conversation when greatness or best in being considered!!!!!!!!
He’s not on the brasilian world cup team but none the less he is in the top 10 players in the world.
wow im surprised at diz comments…
Pele
Eric Cantona
Rudd Gullit
Roger Milla
Diego Maradona
Roberto Baggio
Michel Platini
Marco Van Basten
Zico
Romario
fernando torres should be 3rd
what, ronaldo is the best. where is ronaldinho,ochoa,cabanas,rojasthis lists sucks
what the fuck are you all on about pele and maradona, it’s 2010 you retarded piece of shit. And have you seen ronaldinho play recently he’s not shit or anything but he’s deffinately not in the top ten
obvioulsy, this list has bias towards present stars..without considering historical greats like Pele and Maradona and Beckham and their contribution to World’s football history
guys pele isnt on the list cuz this is the top ten best CURRENT soccer players in the world
eto\’o is my personal favorite player because i am an inter fan so i think he belongs on this list but the list is missing wayne rooney
I think Messi is the best player in the world but Ronaldinho,Maradona and Zidane should be in the list
wayne rooney should be in the list
I don’t know what world are all you people are from but, Maradona is and will always be the best player of the world.
1.pele
2.messi
3.c.ronaldo
4.toress
5.donavon
6.kaka
7.casillas
8.van persie

I\’D RATHER SAY THIS PEOPLE MAKING THE TOP BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD ARE WRONG……BECAUSE THEY ONLY MENTION INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS ONLY THEY SHOULD CHECK SOUTH AFRICAN PLAYERS SUCH AS SIMPIWE TSHABALALA AND GOALKEEPERS SUCH AS ITUMELENG KHUNE AND MANY MORE OR ELSE SOCCER IS GONNA BE BORING
MY TOP 10 PLAYERS ARE ABORINGES….MICHEAL…..ISHMAEL…..DUPIS…..OFI…..SKUDU…..LEBZA…….LOLLY……KWAKWA…….DWARTS…….AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST BRRRRRRRRA TOKZEN THANK YOU

I think Pele, zico, maradona, ronaldo, ronaldhino, roberto carlos, alberto bajio, zedane are those players who really have made foot ball worth watching. do u agree?
