Lionel Messi has marveled the soccer world and has become an integral part of what is the most spectacular soccer team in the world at this moment which is Spains Barcelona. He has already been called to the Argentinean National team to star with them in the Worl Cup just a few months away.

Yes he is! He is outstanding! He is far better than Wayne. Did you know when he entered Barca he was 1.40 m. tall? Barca paid for a therapy 4000 Euro! He is a star. Love him! Be careful Ronaldinho!!! :)

By far, I think Ronaldinho from Brazil is the best player in the world. Not just because he is productive, but also he elevates soccer to a new level.

no 90% of brazilian players are talented look at cris the brazilian defender in lyon although he is not in the national team he is really talented and there is also naldo in bermen and amauri in palermo and the brazilians in sevilla even the brazilians in the turkish club fenerbache r talented so in every famous club in any country in any league u will find 2 or moretalented brazilians so i donot agree with him in this point the only thing i agree with him about lately is his comments on ronaldinho when he said that he is loyal to barca than the yellow shirt of brazil which is really true espicially after the amazing goal i saw yesterday which he scored against viareal i never saw ronaldinho scoring such an amazing goal with brazil i even didnot see him scoring a single goal with brazil since copa america!!!

It's normal that Ancelotti will say that one of his players is the best in the world, especially now after Berlusconi said that he wants to bring Ronaldinho in Milan, Ronaldinho has more awards and he won CL with Barca, this is something that Kaka must accomplish to be the best, but It's very different to play in Seria A or in La Liga, I said this before, if Kaka was in some other league we could see how good he really is!!!! So NO, he is not better than Ronaldinho, but he could be and I wouldn't mind if he take Ronaldinho's place!!!!

1) yes, coz they're my favourite team.\nAND, many people are saying that Barca cant qualify. All Barca needs is a little more concentration. If they can get Messi back b4 5th of DEC. they have more chances against BREMEN. WERDER is a strong team, no doubt about it, but if Barca can win against them by luck and skills they qualify with more points.\n\nRijkaard needs to put up a strong formation against Bremen. It isn't gonna be easy, but will sure be an interesting match.\n\nGOOD LUCK BARCA!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the greatest award really b/c it's chosen by the players themselevs. it's such a great honour! and this just makes me think Ronaldinho is going to win FIFA World Player of the Year even more. I can't believe all the titles were given to BARCA players! I mean........damnn, that's incredible, really. what other club can say that they're on Barca level? none really comes to mind.......i am so astoned you don't even know....this made my day LOL\ni like the world XI team\n\neto.......henry......ronaldinho...and Zidane in the center......\nthat's deadly right there! hahaha

Well all I have to say is I cannot understand why one of the most talented players in the game, Messi, whether he be a teenager/youngster or not took no part in such a crucial game. Unbelievable.

The whole world is wondering that, I think that he is not comfortable with all the stars around him, in Barca he is the main player with all the freedom that he needs and the game is played around him, but in Brazil he is ''just'' one of the great players and he has to adapt himself to the other, and that is something that he must learn!!!!! We will see in WC 2010, the best of him!!!!!!!!!!

now the season has changed all the team is not dependent on one player.\nbut there is superstars in each teambecause of that you cant say the team won because of him.\nremember ronaldhino in brazil last time he was not a superstar but because of him brazil won the cup.\nnow ofcourse zidane is a best player and a superstar but because of this you can not expect that he would lead his team to champions of 2006.

argentina's national team, Los Pumas, if you mean a club, probably Buenos Aires 5 times champ in the last few years, the SIC (San Isisdro Club).

villa is the new raul for spain in this world cup, and i think u will like to have raul in your team. but if u are thinking of sunstitution add Fernando torres insted of villa he got only one goal but in the tournament further ahead he is gonna get even more and more than villa

It's funny you say that, he's tied for first in La Liga in scoring goals, people think that just cause he had a bad world cup, it wasn't just him who had a bad world cup, the top scorer had only 5 goals, that's down considerably from previous world cups, so nobody did anything spectacular, Brasil's former coach even said it himself he had the wrong mix of players and that's why they failed, but most countries would've liked to make it to the quarter finals, everyone just expects to much from him, you know this game is a team sport and if your not pulling your weight for the team then they cant produce, and Barcelona has been very unfortunate with all of there injuries.....  he is still the best player out there talent wise and his creativity is unfathomable, he will prove himself again you wait and see....

i totally agree with u man! Lionel Messi is a very talented football player and whats more he still has a lot of time top improve too!\nhe's very good at dribbling fast with the ball and his accuracy is not bad either, too bad he's injured though, he's so very good

me!\nhe used to be one of my faves when he played at barcelona.\n\nhe's still playing in spain-only with seville[don't know why barca don't want him-he's great.] :)

The truth is that they have stopped themselves.Lets remember they had problems in the qualification round of the World Cup.I agree that they have the players.They also have youth in the defense with Sergio Ramos, he gives them the speed they need.Don't forget about Xavi,He gives them organization and orchestrates the attack.Their problem has been scoring when they need to in the last few World Cups.Although Raul is one of my favorite players in the world,I have to say that he has not showed his skills in the last World Cup.This year I feel that he will play with a chip on his shoulder since he had been injured for so long.Also lets not forget about Morientes,he has made numerous clutch goals in the UEFA(AC Monocco,Real Madrid,and Liverpool).They will get through the group stage with no problem.Except they might play France in the 1st leg,Zidane in his last soccer event will give it his all and Henry is unstoppable.Still Spain holds their on destiny and if they get confident this World Cup,they will have the ability to beat just about any team.

No doubt brazil will be the hottest favourtie but don't forget about germany the host! They're strong once in the finals. Remember last world cup? They're mediocre in the qualifying rounds but fought to the final but lost 2-0 to brazil. Italy ain't bad also and watch out for argentina with lionel messi as their new engineer. These are the 4 potential winners, i believe.

totti is overated, very overated, i think he is possibly the most overated player in the world and he plays like a poor mans frank lampard, if you mean brazils ronaldo then he is having weight problems at the minute but he is fantastic, the defining player of a generation, 15 world cup goals says it all, has had problems with form for the last couple of seasons but still ronaldo would walk onto any teamsheet be it chelsea, barca or juventus he is the best striker in the world.  inzaghi is technically gifted and a good forward, i wouldnt say he is especially good just good, klose has an eye for goal and probably the best header of the ball in the world, crespo plays football like he is painting a masterpiece, he is a little overated but very very classy, del piero played in tottis place the other day and played well but he is only a shadow of his former self he used to be a great player but for the last few seasons in the champs leaugue he has been poor messi is a name to look out for in the future he hammered chelsea at camp nou but has been largely left out of the argentina team at this world cup, he has graced our screens one or twice and has looked good but come 2010 he will be the star of the tournament, so so talented i would go as far to say that along with arjen robben he is the most talented winger in the world and a huge huge star of the future, i dont know who this bal is sorry, the best player on that list is ronaldo( if you mean brazils ronaldo) ronaldo is the best player of his generation, ohhh bal is michael ballack, ballack reminds me of steven gerrard and michale essien, he is class true class great range of passing, great tackler, powerful shot, never runs out of energy, ballack could play centre half or centre forward and would not disapoint in either, a great midfielder and  a great commited footballer as his performances have shown,
