Who is the best football player in the world?

[sock]

Who is the best football player in the world? Before the World Cup, Henry and Ronaldinho were voted best players by public. But Now I want your opinion. Ronaldihno was only the best player because of his skill. But in the World Cup and Champions League he didn't do very much skill. Henry had a poor world cup, He is abit lazy when moving, and only shows some parts of Sharpness. You might disagree with me, up to you, but thats my opinion. Now I want you to post who you think the best player in the world is and the reason why.

Ronaldinho***



and I don't have a favourite, Ronaldinho I s'pose when he plays at his best level.

[sock]

If he shows up at his best, then yes, but after the world cup, I think not.

[Kasabian]

Freddy Adu.
Started playing professional football aged 13, for DC United. He also plays for USA U-21's, and he's still 16 or 17 at the moment.

[sock]

Never heard of him. Playing Professional at 13? Great player then.

[Pu$$y]

Freddy Adu.
Started playing professional football aged 13, for DC United. He also plays for USA U-21's, and he's still 16 or 17 at the moment. He's not the best player in the world though..

[Kasabian]

I'm one of the lucky people who have seen him play live and shake his hand!

[sock]

I think the best player in the world atm is Cannavaro.

[:dallsgreen]

Messi, I don't really know I just think he's really good and he's young.

[Pu$$y]

Freddy Adu - Striker
18 Games - 1 Goal

He's ****.

[Kasabian]

Freddy Adu - Striker
18 Games - 1 Goal

He's ****.

name: Freddy Adu
position: M
height: 5-8 weight:145
Birthdate: June 02, 1989
Hometown: Potomac, MD
last club: U.S. U-20

[Pu$$y]

He's a forward tho

[Corq]

I don't rate Freddy Adu at all. He only looks good because he is playing in a league where there isn't really much talent about, hence making him look better. To be honest, he would struggle in a Premiership team.

Best player in the world - Michael Bridges :P

Nah being serious, I would say Ronaldinho when he plays to his strengths but recently he has been struggling a bit ever since the Champions League Final.

Fabio Cannavaro has being solid at the back though so he is doing well, hence Real Madrid wanting him.

[Catchetat]

I have no idea.. pretty hard to rate lol

[Skillz]

OMG you guys are silly the best player in the world is not Freddy Adu, Or Ronaldo or Ronaldinho

Its........DENNIS WISE or ROBBIE SAVAGE lmao

[Skillz]

Freddy adu is not rubbish

he is only 15 so he is oviasuly good to be playing pro football

[sock]

as Freddy Adu grows older and wiser, I think he will become one of the players in the world, but at the moment, No. Lol at Skillz, Yeh defo gotta be Dennis Wise.

[brandon]

Freddy Adu - Striker
18 Games - 1 Goal

He's ****.
I don't see how you can judge a book by it's cover. Basically don't judge a player by paper stats?

Hes not the best player in the world Tom, but the best potential maybe.

[Swastika]

Zidane, when hes having a good game, he's awesome.

-Jamie

[Azul]

Freddy Adu is vastly overrated. Best player in the world? Don't make me laugh.

The best player in the world has just recently retired.

[sock]

Zidane is a legend but atm, you can't say hes the best footballer in the world, because he is no longer a footballer soo atm My bets are on F. Cannavaro.

[Mit]

Cannavaro was brilliant this world cup but week in week out i think terry is better than him.

Ronaldinho or Henry, shame neither have proved they can play at the highest level of football.

[Skillz]

Cannavaro Was A Great Defender

He Was Solid At The Back During The World Cup. He May Come Spurs Coz Of The Italian Scandals

[sock]

Best defender = Cannavrao though? Maybe the best player is not wht we know of, he might be somewhere in Fiji or Western Samoa! You never know, I've just thought of a player, Gattuso!

[Craig]

Well if we're talking about at the moment then I'd say Henry or Ronaldinho. Both players play with such pride and joy and never go down unfairly. They don't dive like most players and most importantly they play with a smile on their face. Some of the skills they do even up against other world class players are phenomenial.

[sock]

I know but as I said, they didn't have a good world cup really, Henry did dive a bit :]

[DMB-Hosting]

Id choose zidane over ronaldinho

[Samurai]

Ronaldinho but he can be a bit lazy so could Henry but Ronaldinho is much more skillful and does well for his Club and Country.

[Eoin]

Me - I can beat down anyones behind at football!
:P

[MG-Scorpion]

ronaldinho

this world cup was s**t anyway everythin was about deffense but italy deserved it congra italy.

brazil will win nxt world cup :D 2010 :D:D

[Robzor]

carlos tevez or henry

[lance628]

Zidane is the best player just because of his headbutt xD

[jordybumz!]

Carlos Edwards :]

[RareIce]

Ronaldiniho had a bad world cup but hes the best player in the world in my view.

[jstar953]

Peter Crouch.


who can beat that man?! he is buffness on gangly legs!!

[Death-Cave]

In the whole World Cup Has to Be Zidane! You can understand his reason for headbutting someone. But hes still a great player

[@K]

My mate Ash's bruv Wes Daly, plays for QPR :eusa_wall but on loan atm, lmao not really, I like Adu also.

[Lincoln Imp!]

Gerraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard! End of.

[brandon]

Ronaldinho***



and I don't have a favourite, Ronaldinho I s'pose when he plays at his best level.
I take back my comment and now say Robert Earnshaw, thank you.

[Victimized]

It's hard really because different players do different jobs on a football pitch, so when saying who's the best in the world most of you say Ronaldinho because of his skill. However, i'm sure people like Cannavaro could do all that skill but coz their defenders they can't display it can they?
I don't really no where i'm going with this but basically i think it is very hard to say who the best player is.

[Wolfie]

I'm the best player in the world. :) Or Ronaldinho

[brandon]

I'm the best player in the world. :) Or Ronaldinho
yeah you wish, who do you play for? Tesco Trolleys FC? :p

[Kasabian]

Darren Huckerby :rolleyes:

[Wolfie]

yeah you wish, who do you play for? Tesco Trolleys FC? :p

Actually I play for Fackers FC In Hobo Hall. We are so good we learned to kick the ball yesterday :P lol

[brandon]

Darren Huckerby :rolleyes:
Too right mate.

[Kasabian]

Too right mate.

Brother of, the much better player, Scott Huckerby, Ex-Telford player, Always a legend!

[Luayminator]

Hmmm, I think loads of players are excellent.. Pirlo, Cannavaro, Messi, Ronaldinho, Kaka.... I say now is probably Cannavaro, great defender, nothing gets past him.

[CokeZero]

has anyone mention poor old Wazza, eh? wayne rooney ma fav atm

[NightSlayer]

Best defender = Cannavrao though? Maybe the best player is not wht we know of, he might be somewhere in Fiji or Western Samoa! You never know, I've just thought of a player, Gattuso!


Gattuso, So Rules. A Great Key player of AC Milan. I tell thee. :D

But i reckon Gerrard is great. Or Maybe Henry. When there up to there standards.

That Freddy Guy Who Were All Talking About, Has Anybody Actually Heard Of Him, It's like Hartson Only Scored Alot In Scottish League, Because That League Is The Worst Ever. My Gran Could Be Top Goalscorer In That Scottish league. It's not hard really.

[Liam.]

For those who said Ronaldinho I disagree. he's a good player with amazing skills yeah. But he isn't exactly best, he is supposed to play in midfield most of the time, he doesn't get back and help defend or anything, to me he's quiet lazy.

[:Hazel]

Darren Huckerby :rolleyes:

Amen.


Too right mate.

Exactly.

Don't forget about Earnie too. ;)

[Chaz]

Frank Lampard -

He came 2nd for player of the year 2005-2006, he has has his downsides, and his performace in the world cup was amazing. People said he played really bad, as he kept hoofing it over the bar, but at least he was reciving it and having a go. Theres nothing wrong with trying. he encourges his team and other prospering footballers to never give up.

he is truly an amazing player.

[cocaine]

Ronaldos all fat and slow now x]

I think gerrard or lampard

[simon!]

For me Eric Cantona [:

[ross]

Lee Trundle. :8

[-Paul]

Christano Ronaldo ;)

[ross]

lee trundle :8

[Slash]

goalkeeper- buffon/casillas.
defender- cannavaro.
midfielder- ronaldinho/lampard/gerrard.
striker- henry/tevez/rooney.

[ClaretVillan]

Steven Davis

[:James:]

Lionel Messi..

[sock]

Hes good, I suppose, + Thorpe even if he was havcing a go, like 30 times he never scored? Peter Crouch's record is amazing, but I wouldn't rate him best, Thought you like Freddy Adu anyway? Anyway, I'd say Gatttuso atm or Gerrard.

[Acidulantes]

Id say gerrard... I only really pay attention to barcelona out of the premiership though... definately gerrard right now... but then again might be a bit biast cos Im a liverpool fan...

[FlyingJesus]

Its........DENNIS WISE or ROBBIE SAVAGE lmao

As a young Chelsea fan Dennis Wise was my hero :P I still reckon Vialli should come back, even if he is like 60.

[bingoking]

My fav is Giggs!

[GoldenBiscuit]

Id say gerrard... I only really pay attention to barcelona out of the premiership though... definately gerrard right now... but then again might be a bit biast cos Im a liverpool fan...

I agree, if he isn't the best simply for his ability, then for how he inspires his team as captain. He is truely a legend! :D
Btw he was rated 2nd on PWRTK, finishing just behind King Kenny. :eusa_danc

[SSC7]

That Freddy Guy Who Were All Talking About, Has Anybody Actually Heard Of Him
Im a season ticket holder for the NY Redbulls in the MLS and have seen Freddy play tons of times. He can look good at times, but as of yet hasn't played nearly to his potential. He will probably be picked up by a European side in the near future and hopefully he will develop better there. Benny Feilhaber who plays for Hamburg is alot better than he is right now and is probably our best young prospect.

[Blinger1]

Mark Schwarzer "FTW"

[sock]

Mark Schwarzer "FTW"

watched him the other night, he hardly did nething lolol.

[Tipped]

Okay so i support man utd? but i cant help being biast :D

Id Say 1 Of These 5 People (when all are in form)

Cristiano Ronaldo
Wayne Rooney
Steven Gerrard
Ronaldinho
Lionel Messi

Classsss People!

[Acidulantes]

See! Even a scum bag manc (no offense) thinks gerrard is... lol hes somethin like the 3rd person in history to have an fa cup final named after him, and rightly so...

[Swindont2]

Best Players in the World:

Wayne Rooney
Theirry Henry
Ronaldinho
Kaka
John Terry
Gerrard
Lampard
Messi

[Acidulantes]

I think it should be the players who dont play for a team you like, but you like the players... and for me that would be ronnaldinho, rooney, Henry and clarence seedorf, but thats a pro evo thing between me and my brother :P

I really dont like chelsea as a team, and individuals, John terry is a blatant fowler and lampard has a few good goals now and again and a long range goal once a season...

[Simmzay]

Dennis Bergkamp, best player I've ever seen.

[sl4rt is banned]

I'd say Messi is one of the best playrers in the world atm :)

[Throne Sofa]

It's a hard call tbh, so many great players in the world. However, I'd have to opt for Kaka. He's an amazing player, the best AM in the world at the moment aswell, he scores, assists and just great to watch when he has the ball. He makes things happen aswell.

Players Who Just Missed Out:
Henry, Eto'o, Shevchenko, Terry, C.Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi, Gerrard, Buffon, Cannavaro.

[piddle2k6]

Steve fletcher of bmouth.....:rolleyes: No um id say cannavaro is a top defender messi, kaka they are all fantastic

[RareIce]

goalkeeper- buffon/casillas.
defender- cannavaro.
midfielder- ronaldinho/lampard/gerrard.
striker- henry/tevez/rooney.


LOL TEVEZ behave

Ronaldiniho is the best player in the world without a doubt but theres also people like:

Henry
Rooney
Gerrard
micah richards - joke :)

[shank]

It used to be Maradonna, but, now I would prob's have to say Ronaldinho, you can't test him?

[yido]

kevin doyle lol

[piddle2k6]

tevez and kevin doyle yer okay..... I also think heinze is really good

[Andeeh]

Steven Gerrard Greatest Player In The World...

Great Leader, Player And Goalscorer :)

[Frog!]

Akpo Sodje... Enough said :)

[Robzor]

um....
still have to say ronaldinho or thierry henry

[simon!]

For me its probably going to have to be Georgie Best, even though hes not here anymore he was a great player in his prime.

[holo-jonny]

I'll get alot of stick but...




Ronaldo.

[Jordie]

Errrr.... Matt Spring Who Plays For Luton Is Best Player In The World:rolleyes:

The Real Thing Has Gotta Be Francesc Fabregas Great Feet And Great Ability At The Tender Age Of 19 Or Somit Like That:D

[Scriptermone]

Paul Scholes.

[simon!]

Eric Cantona, without a doubt :)

[Browney]

C. Ronaldo.

[Shoovers]

Stevie G

come on, what can you say bad about him ?

[holo-jonny]

Eric Cantona, without a doubt :)
he retired about 10 years ago.

[-=Andy=-]

ronaldo easily well atm anyway :D

[CyberBrain]

I reckon Thierry Henry his been outstanding for Arsenal and he was sensational during the World Cup! Shame Zidane retired because I would have said him, he WAS top class.

[Jordie]

gotta be christiano ronaldo at the minute:) pace crosses and goals are all top class:)

[Guttridge]

Ade Akinbeyi

nah seriously.

steven gerrard

[Scottley!]

Best player for England and in the world, it's gotta be Steven Gerrard!

[sock]

Well, Steven Gerrard is good, but I don't know, if you look at him on a good day he would be great, if on a normal day, he is just ordinary.

[@xP]

This tpic is to debateable..

I think Henry...

You can't realy match players and say who is better then who as lots play in different positions ect

[Jamie!]

[3d]

Brazilian ronaldo is crap now anyway

This topic isn't going to come to a conclusion, its just a thread, to discuss peoples favourite players, from this thread, we rnt gna decide who is the better player.

[Mr.OSH]

Freddy Adu.
Started playing professional football aged 13, for DC United. He also plays for USA U-21's, and he's still 16 or 17 at the moment.

I think he will be one day but at the moment probably Henry...

[Antallica]

Havent a clue, all crap atm. losing intrest in football.
LOVING ICE HOCKEY.

[Barkseh2131]

christiano ronaldo.

[Pillsbury]

Havent a clue, all crap atm. losing intrest in football.

Whyd you post then?

[ownedpls]

Christiano Ronaldo then rooney i think :P

[Middlesbrough]

Cristiano ronaldo and Samuel Eto are on amazing form

[reindeer.]

Before the england brazil game i'd have been tempted to say Kaka. Not any more though. i'd now say cristiano ronaldo tbh. cocky git.

[Gangster]

I think Kaka is the best but one all the players were at there there best i think ronaldo was the best but he's gone rubbish now !:P

[Jambe]

Rooney :))) ROONEYYYY

[sock]

thierry henry is a traitor :[

[CJW93]

thierry henry is a traitor :[

what are you talking about it was time to go imo it was always going to happen sooner or later.

[sock]

lol ye, well we'll see what this season brings to the football generation :)

[Exort]

Adu is class and when hes older hes gunna be immense

best keeper: Cech
Defender: canavaro
Midfield: Gerrard :D
Striker: Messi or Rooney

[danny-dyer]

gotta be jack smith:)

[CH3LS3A]

Best Goalkeeper - Cech
Best Defender - Terry
Best Midfeilder - Gerrard
Best Striker - Drogba atm.

[Lyca]

Best Goalkeeper - Cech
Best Defender - Terry
Best Midfeilder - Gerrard
Best Striker - Drogba atm.
I would have never of known you were a chelsea fan

Messi best in thw world

[Puma]

Best Goalkeeper - Cech
Best Defender - Terry
Best Midfeilder - Gerrard
Best Striker - Drogba atm.

LMAO your all wrong..


gotta be jack smith:)

who is he o___O"


thierry henry is a traitor :[

no his not i think he made the right decision to leave.. arsenal was terrible last season.

[sock]

arsenal have never been terrible. I personally think Arsenal have got better and strnger this season, so i'm glad hes left :]

[Swush]

Im the best player this year :8

[adidas™]

i dont like him but, c.ronaldo.

[Throne Sofa]

In the last year or so..
Goalkeeper: Cech - Top class keeper. He's gained my trust.
Defender: No one's caught my eye enough to win this one for me. Of course there's someone like Cannavaro, but he's had a troubled first year at Madrid. Other names up there would be the likes of Toure, Terry, Maldini, Nesta and Carvalho.
Midfielder: Kaka. - The best player in the world.
Striker: Van Nistelrooy. - What you want of a striker, goals.

[CJW93]

Aaron Mclean or Michel Kightly

[PaulMacC]

Fabreagas is a midfielder to look out for.

[Sentrax]

Goalkeeper: Van Der Sar
Defender: Carragher
Midfielder: Ronaldo
Forward: Van Persie

[Thq]

ronaldinho is past his peak, c.ronaldo isnt at his peak yet and is almost as good so id say he will be, at the moment its probably kaka in my opinion.
my favourite is kalou as im a chelsea supporter :)

[Middlesbrough]

Kaka c ronaldo or nani for up and coming

[Cresendo]

Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard are amongst the elite players of the planet.

[Robyn78]

Ronaldiniho

Or w/e his name is

[Alexpato]

Kaka or Totti.
How can you say Gerrard is? hes been average for the past 2 seasons.

[,Darn]

Paulo Maldini. A few years ago Celtic played Milan at Parkhead. At one stage he flicked a ball over one player's head then pinged a world-class pass on the half volley. The whole ground clapped it, twas just sheer brilliance. A legend of his generation.

Of the ones still playing I'll give you that aye,he is,among the elite defenders of all time.

[PaulMacC]

vPersie is having a cracker, same with Hleb and Fabregas.

They all have potiental and are all so young

[mani]

*Removed*

[Psychobaker]

Fabregas is gunna be the best in the world

[sock]

very true. Fabregas - one of the best players in the world already at a very young age. What can we expect for the future?

[Browney]

Fabregas? I would have said that in the world, no. In the premier league, almost definately. A star in the making.

C Ronaldo has been off this season so far. Hopefully he'll find his form of last season.

[benjamin]

my mate ross, he's bare good.

kk maybe not, but i think he will make it biggggggg if he sticks at it.

[Psychobaker]

fabregas atm defo
or messi
in 3-4 years time ask me ill say either Adu walcot rooney fabregas messi or ronaldo defo :)

[MrGazet]

Christiano Ronaldo then rooney i think :P

yeah they r brill atm :)

[Flyth]

Henry has to be the best in my opinion

[The Undertaker]

Henry: He was good, but not any more
Ronaldo: Has brilliant skills but is a bit of a diver =]I WOuld have to say either Lionel Messi Or Ronaldinho

Fabregas Is Definetly Making his way to the top as well xD

[BobX]

Without a doubt its Cristiano Ronaldo


:love7::love7:

[Cypher-]

right now id say kaka, fabregas at the end of this season though

[klguy7]

Kaka the best in the world

messi/ronaldinho best in spain
Kaka best in italy
C.Ronaldo ebst in england

this season the best proberly be kaka again or c.ronaldo

[Daphne,]

Alfy Langer

[Alan_Carr]

Cristiano Ronaldo

[Minstrels]

Shaun Goater was but he's retired. :(

This thread is stuck and been running well over a year ;)

It has to be Ronaldo :o Hes great to watch just like Man Utd are most of the time. How it hurts saying such a thing :P

[Kewl]

Kaka (:

[Alan_Carr]

Yeah, kaka is a legend.

[Simmzay]

Benzema!

[PaulMacC]

Nazar Barasite

[Faye]

Cristiano Ronaldo.

[Brody]

kaka or messi

[Aflux]

Nazar Barasite
Sorry, who?

If you're referring to the Arsenal 'legend', it's Nacer Barazite

[dragica]

i have to agree with many: kaka! :)

[Xeros]

Cristiano Ronaldo

[Marky.]

ronaldo is better than kaka

and i think its either ronaldo or messi

[Kewl]

Emile Heskey

[Alan_Carr]

Titus Bramble.

[Kewl]

Titus Bramble.

Dang, good one

[Alan_Carr]

Dang, good one


Enit though!
I also like Ricardo Carvalho, i think he is the best defender, cos he can make bone-crunching challenges like he prooved against Villa :D!

[Jackbee]

Manuel Almunia tbhhhh

[Alan_Carr]

Manuel Almunia tbhhhh



tbh, Jens Lehmann <3

[Andeeh]

Hmm gotta be Fernando Torres or Forster =] (From Livepool + Brighton)

[Jake145]

Obviously Ronaldinho, i think everyone knows this. :D

[GhostFace-]

Ronaldihno how ever u spell it

[Naruto!]

Ronaldinho is so overrated.
Best player is Kaka, Ronaldo or Messi imo.

[Alan_Carr]

Ronaldo atm tbh, Ronaldinho is swag.

[sky s]

Kaka.
end of

[Aflux]

If you've seen Ronaldinho actually play good, proper football then you're a better man than I because all he can do is tricks, and not good ones at that - famous for his butt teeth.

[Xeck]

SURELY Pascal Cygan?!??? What a legend.

Probably Kaka imo. It's really hard to choose though, and lots of players are underrated by a lot of people, such as Juninho Pernambucano.

[Nain]

Cristiano Ronaldo - Speed Demon, Great Shot, Great Player :p
