the best player of the moment is definitely ronaldinho of brazil / fc barcelona. but if we're talking about the best active player today then it has to be zinedine zidane of france / real madrid. zidane, however, is in the twilight of his incomparable career while ronaldinho is in his prime.

As a Real Madrid fan, surely I consider him one of the best players ever in general.\nEspecially after the Spain vs France game (though I have wanted Spain to win) and since this is his final World Cup and the end of his brilliant career, I'd say Zinedine "Zizou" Zidane.

Pele (Edson Arantes do Nascimento)\nBrazil\nYears Played: 1956 - 1977\n\nWhy he's one of the greatest: At the age of 17, Pel scored six goals in the 1958 World Cup, inspiring Brazil to its first title.\n\nThroughout his illustrious career both on and off the pitch, Pele has remained a true ambassador of the game. Making his club debut for Santos at the age of 15 in 1956, he remained with the club until 1974. Although facts and figures could never do justice to the majesty that was Pele, his 1,281 goals in all competitions certainly serve to prove the point. He helped lead Santos to nine State Championships, and claimed two consecutive World Club Championships in 1962 and 1963.\n\nThere is no player who can claim greater success on the world stage. Pele made his international debut at the tender age of 16. A year later and his teammates pressured the national coaching staff to include the 17-year-old in the 1958 World Cup squad. Kept out of the majority of the tournament due to injury, Pele came on in Brazil's pool match against the Soviet Union. In the quarterfinals, Pele scored the winner against Wales, a hat trick in the semifinals against France, and two in the final against Sweden, Brazil won the 1958 World Cup... and a star was born. Out with injury for the 1962 World Cup, Pele returned to the national squad and claimed one more World Cup title in 1970. Voted the Century's Greatest Footballer along with Diego Maradona, Pele has continued to be an inspiration to the "the beautiful game."

Muhammed Ali\n  \nPelé\n\n(I have met somebody who played against Pelé, and against Garrincha, and all the famous footballers of that era, Stanley Matthews etc. I don't think he would have voted for a footballer as the best sportsman!)\n\nJesse Owens (well before my time)
