At seventeen, he was not chosen for the world cup team this year.\n\n"For the moment, that conversation involves only those names that stumble - like a blindfolded gymnast - off the American tongue: Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Ibrahimovic. At 17, Adu has not yet shown the spark that made him a target for storied European clubs like Inter Milan. He was not chosen for the national team in this year's World Cup."

Its hard to left behind players like Zico (Brazil), Koeman (Holland), Roberto Baggio (Italy), Cruyff (Holland), Romário (Brazil), Puskas (Hungary), Rossi (Italy), Van Basten (Holland), Klinsmann (Germany), Kempes (Argentina), Muller (Germany), Platini (France), Zoff (Itlay), Matthaus (Germany), Ronaldo (Brazil), Milla (Cameroon), Brehme (Germany), Di Stefano (Argentina)... as many other brilliant players but, since its the best of World Cups, here's my selection:\n\n1. Yashin (ex-URSS)\n\n2. Baresi (Italy)\n3. Beckenbauer -he was central defender, sweeper- (Germany)\n4. Cafú (Brazil)\n5. Maldini (Italy)\n\n6. Maradona (Argentina)\n7. Garrincha (Brazil)\n8. Zidane (France)\n9. Bobby Charlton (England)\n\n10. Eusébio (Portugal)\n11. Pélé (Brazil)

No he did not!\n\nRooney become the youngest ever player to play for England, in a friendly against Australia, on February 12, 2003, aged 17 years, 111 days. This record has since been surpassed by Theo Walcott, who came off the bench to play in England's friendly against Hungary on May 30, 2006. England's youngest ever player previous to Rooney was James F. M. Prinsep of Clapham Rovers, who made his debut almost one and a quarter centuries before, on April 5, 1879, aged 17 years, 253 days. Rooney is also the youngest England scorer ever (17 years, 317 days).

Luca Toni from Italy (final against Brasil).

Considering that he is 33, in the next World Cup (should Saudi Arabia qualify) he would be 37 and possibly his last. I'm not seeing him playing by 2014, 41 years old

Ronaldhino from Brazil!

Hey Dutchman! Go easy on the newcomer. Lionel Messi is still a baby. He is the best player in Argentina though. After the world cup and if he plays on May 17th in the UEFA Champions League final he could be named MVP if Ronaldinho doesn't get it. And it is called the MVP. Remember MVP of last Champions league went to Liverpool's striker Gerrard.

That player is Rigobert Song, sent off in 1994 against Brazil (in fact, he's the youngest ever player to have been sent off, aged 17) and in 1998 against Chile.
