Who is the best under 21 player for soccer in the world?

Freddy Adu ?!?!?! Are you out of your mind???\n\nLionel Messi of Barcelona and Argentina is BY FAR the best under 21 player in the world.  Rooney is the only one who is even close.  Freddy Adu is a promising talent, but there are many players throughout the world better than him.  I would rate a lad like Theo Walcott ahead of Adu.\n\nMessi, Rooney, Sergio Aguero, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Gago, Lukas Podolski, Cesc Fabregas, Hedwiges Maduro, Julio dos Santos (Paraguay/Bayern Munich), and Neri Cardozo would be my top ten.\n\nCarlitos Tevez and Robinho are 22.

I think 7 goals would do him good.But he is no doubt the best player in the world now!

Landon Donovan. Adu is only good because of how old he is. If he were the same age as all the other players no one would make that big of a deal about him.

PELE or MARADONA or CRUYFF obviously...\nBut I am 16 I aint seen them play, so far in my life its HENRY the greatest player I've seen play!!!\nRooney can go on to become a legeend just like Best and I doubt he'll ever play for an another football club other than Man Utd or maybe even Everton(he does love em)

I know you will disagree with my picks, but so far the good players have been:\n\n1. Shaka Hislop: Kept a clean sheet against Sweden and for 84 minutes against England. When you consider how big an underdog Trididad & Tobago is, and how many shots he's had hit against him, he's done incredibly well.\n\n2. Augustin Delgado: 2 goals scored by the Ecuadorian striker, in 2 matches, for 2 wins. They have been a revelation in the World Cup and are already guaranteed a 2nd round berth (their best ever finish).\n\n3. Javier Saviola: Been class in both wins, especially the 6-0 THRASHING of Serbia/Montenegro. Saviola wasnt expected to start for Argentina this world cup, thank god for them he did. Alot of the team has played well in their matches, but Saviola's been the best over 2 World Cup games. I THINK HE'S BEEN THE BEST SO FAR OVERALL\n\nHonerable mentions: Valencia (Ecuador), Lucas Neill (Australia), Villa/Torres (Spain), Park Ji Sung (Korea) and Robben (Holland)

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.

I believe Ricardo is the best by far. Also Cech is good and Casillas is beautiful!

Right now, I would have to split that question in two.  Our best field player, right now, is Landon Donovan of the LA Galaxy.  However, we have some outstanding goalkeepers playing in Europe (Keller (Moenchengladbach), Friedel (Blackburn), Howard (ManU)).   Given those choices, I would take Keller right now on the GK end.

Theo walcott, he recently transferred from southampton to Arsenal, and so impressed manager Arsen Wenger, that he urged Sven to include him in the squad.  Sven, being the puppet he is, agreed and enlisted the 17 year old into the squad.  He has not played yet and if he does will break records for the youngest player to compete in a World Cup Finals tournament.\nHowever, he is not necessarily the most immature player in the squad, that honour goes to David Beckham, who apparently needs constant motivation and praise to stop him going into huge sulks (after Sven said that if he were to 'not perform' he would be dropped from the team) \nStill....this is football and most players in the game today have very limited intelligence.....a game designed by gentlemen and played by hooligans!

Are you seriously comparing Birchall (a 20-year old that has done nothing in his career) and Kaka (a sure starter for Brazil in the World Cup)?\n\nKaka.

IF he gets on the pitch (hasnt played yet) englishman Theo Wallcott will probably be the youngest, being 17 yrs and some amount of days young... he plays for Arsenal

He's probably too young, he's only 15!  Players probably have to be at least 18, but he is sweet at soccer!!
