I'm a shocker of a fan, which means I don't really hone in on an individual player's talents, because it takes all my attention to work out how that bloody off side rule works....(be kind)\n\nLove the socceroos though - too many late nights and early mornings up watching SBS, also went to see them play Paraguay in Brissie

I think Rafael van der Vaart is the best. When he was injured, the HSV played bad football and finally became only third behind werder bremen.

Samuel Eto'o because even though he was eliminated during the quarter finals, he was until the end of the competition the best striker with 5goals.that was great.PLus he's the best african player for the year 2005

Without a shadow of a doubt he is the best player in the world at the moment.Every aspect of his game is so solid and his leadership qualities are the stuff of legend.There are more skillful players.But none better.

It has to be Landon Donovan, one of the most exciting players in the league and in the US National Team.\n\nFreddy Adu should probably be considered a midfielder rather than a striker.

Tim Howard definitely should be the number 1. Don't worry though, I think he'll be the starter next world cup.

'IS THE BEST' MEANS YOU ARE ASKING ABOUT THE CURRENT PLAYER.\nRICKY PONTING IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST.\nAFTER HIM,10 PLACES ARE VACANT..\nNOBODY OCCUPYING THAT SLOTS..

Alex Ferguson (8 titles in 12 years), \nNistelrooy (best scorer in epl so far), \nRooney (pugnacious ball winner, great passer, and can attack too),\nWes Brown (underrated but gets the job done)\nvan der saar

The best player at World Cup 2006

they  have every chance of coming second in the group behind Brazil - they have Kewell, Cahill and Viduka who would get in any squad. The Croatians are an aging side and the Japanese don't travel well, i hope Australia make it to the knockout stages

It's got to be Thierry Henry.\nHe has pace, skill, fininshing inside and outside the box and has now developed great leadership skills.  He is also incredible arrogant, which may not make you like him, but gives the right qualities to suceed and always have confidence in his ability.\n\nHe just pips Samuel Eto and Shevchenko.

Been watching Arsenal since 1972, been to over 400 games, so I've seen a few players. The best? Attitude, commitment and skill have always done it for me so it's Steve Williams, Paul Davis, David Rocastle, Anders Limpar, Ian Wright, Emmanuel Petit, Patrick Vieira, Tony Adams, Steve Bould, Nigel Winterburn, Stewart Robson, Charlie George, Kenny Sansom, Pat Rice, Sammy Nelson, Liam Brady, Lee Dixon, David Seaman, Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Martin Keown, Peter Storey, Peter Simpson, Michael Thomas, Graham Rix, David O'Leary, Jimmy Rimmer, Willie Young, Alan Ball, George Armstrong, Frank McLintock, Charlie Nicholas, Dennis Bergkamp, Nelson Vivas, Remi Garde, Paul Merson, Brian Marwood, Silvinho, Gilles Grimandi, Alan Smith, Jens Lehmann, Kolo Toure, I could go on forever, so there's some names to discuss!

It depends are we talking current players or all players. If were talking current I'd have to say Wambach and Lilly. \n\nWambach because we play the same position and i like her playing style.\n\nLilly because she just works her behind off, she's got 30 caps that's saying something she holds the record for most caps for both Men and Women.\n\nIf were talking All-time It's Mia and Akers.\n\nMia because I liked the way she played and she's holds the record for most goals by a single person, Hell she's got more then Pele if you can't respect and Idolize that then your mental.\n\nAkers because even though she had the Fatigue problem(can't remember it's official name) she always played hard and left everything on the feild no matter how bad she was feeling she still played her heart out.

They are NOT the best soccer players in the world.  I'd take Ronalinho, Robinho, Adriano, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nedved, Owen, Rooney over any African on any day.  This is for current players.  George Weah is the best African player of all time in my opinion.  I would take him over most that I mentioned, but not Ronaldinho.  Give Robinho sometime, he'll be there too.

To Me Ferdinand,Lucio, Campbell, Carragher, Hyppia, Nesta,Maldini,Terry,Stam are the best.
