That's a toughie.

Kaka, C Ronaldo and Messi are regarded as the top 3. The rest of the top 10 would be pretty much peoples personal taste.

It's too hard to pick because there's just too many amazing players. Here's a random 10 that come to mind...

Messi
C Ronaldo
Kaka
Ronaldinho
Essien
Cannavaro
Rooney
Robinho
Drogba
Gerrard

Top ten is very hard to decide. I think at the moment there is a top three that the majority of people agree on:

C.Ronaldo
Messi
Kaka

Put them in any order you wish. Robinho is pushing for a place in that top three as well after a great last season with Real Madrid.

C. Ronaldo
Messi
Kaka
Torres
Henry
Ferdinand
Ibrahimovic
Sergio Ramos
Fabregas
Van Nistelrooy

Ramos most overrated player get forward too much for my liking. Sagna kicks his ass in all departments apart for attacking.

C. Ronaldo
Messi
Kaka
Essien
Torres
Fabregas
Drogba
Cassilas
Buffon
Rooney

Not in any order, but theres loads you could put in top ten

Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi are the only ones that really stick out at the moment

Too many attacking players, forwards and midfielders get too much credit. Cole, Clichy,Sagna,Vidic, Ferdinand,. Where is Lahm and Toni and Ribery should get a mention.

not a bad list id go

C.Ronaldo [allthough Messi will overatake him IMO]
Messi
Kaka
Torres
Villa
Robben
Essien
Fabregas
Ronaldinho [based on form]
Eto'o [based on form]

finally i see villa.

Xavi and Sneijder are up there IMO as well.

Cannavaro has lost a bit, Drogba's been off form. I don't know if Robinho was ever there.

Messi
Ronaldo
Kaka
Ibrahimovic
Gerrard
Fabregas (yeah, I said it)
Rooney, maybe

Ibrahimovic talent yes, but he never produced in the big stage for both Juventus and Inter,

Ummm, I'd say

C. Ronaldo
Kaka
Messi
Fabregas
Sneijder
Villa
Ramos
Casillas
Ribery
Essien


Not sure what order

Ronaldinho on form easily makes it

Ronaldo
Torres
Messi
Kaka
Villa
Casillas
Ferdinand
Sneijder
Essien
Fabregas.

C.Ronaldo
Kaka
Fabergas
Terry
Nesta
Gerrard
Essien
Messi
Totti
Diego

C.Ronaldo
Kaka
Fabergas
Terry

Terry's not one of the ten best on his own team.

Terry's not one of the ten best on his own team.

John Terry is the best defender in the world.

I'm surprised so few are putting Robinho in their top tens.

Well I had a go at a top four, let me try a top ten then. In no order:

Messi
Ronaldo
Kaka
Robinho
Torres
Sneijder
Ribery
Ballack
Essien
Buffon

The first seven are easy, simple choices. Simply the best set of players around currently.

My last three are more debateable. But Ballack and Essien are quality, experienced players who know how to win.

And I thought I'd round off the list with a goalkeeper.

John Terry is the best defender in the world.

You could make a case that he's the second best at Chelsea, but it's clear he's not the best there.

I wouldn't rank him in the Premiership's top five. Nor would most who follow that league.

Are you saying this because he missed that penalty?
I've never seen another defender that can clear the ball off the line like Terry does.

the noobs list

villa
torres
ballack
casillas
arshavin
rooney
kaka
nihat
in no particular order
honorable mention
puyol,fabregas,xavi.:D

i know.its loaded with spaniards.

Rizoom, I don't care about the penalty. That could've happened to anyone.

I think Carvalho has a better year. Vidic and Evra are better overall players.

Ballack is a good shout ive always rated Ballack TBH even when he was at Beyer Leverkusen ,he had a bad time at Chelsea to begin with but there is no doubting Ballacks ability he almost single handedly Drives the German team foward not only was he terrific in the Euro he was also brilliant in the last World Cup

mos def.that's the kinda captain any one would wish to have as the leader of there team.

as out and out defenders go Terry is up there with the best of them

Footballing CB

Ferdinand
Carvalho
Lucio
Woodgate
Ledley King



out and out defenders

Vidic
Terry
Carragher
Puyol
Alex

Terry isn't one of the top five defenders in the world, let alone top ten overall players.

A lot of commentators and pundits go crazy over him because he is a good old fashioned defender who gets stuck in. But technically he's quite poor, he makes errors on the floor, he has no pace and his positioning could be better.

If I had the choice I'd choose Ferdinand, Vidic, Carvalho, Carragher and Toure over him from the Premiership alone, never mind the other leagues.

mos def.that's the kinda captain any one would wish to have as the leader of there team.

he plays that position that i love aswell he is not strictly a defensive Midfielder or an attacking Midfielder he is a Central Midfeilder cause he has both qualitys in attack and defending

Patrick Vieira is my favourite player ever and he played the same type of position only he was better defensively than Ballack where as Ballack has better offence iin that respect still the same type of player though CMF as apose to strictly a an AMF or a DMF

CMF ,Gerrard,Vieira,Ballack ,Keane ,Essien

DMF ,Makelele ,Mascerano

AMF ,Rosicky,Hleb ,

etc

Thats because he is not a footballing CB he is an out an out defender

a good defence is like a good attack its about the right partnership combination ,Terry is to Carvalho what Vidic is to Rio one is a footballing CB and the other puts his head in were it hurts and clears the ball he is an out and defender

the reason Gallas and Toure is a poor partnership and why Arsenal conceed Goals is cause they are 2 similar, niether of them are out and out defenders or leaders thats what Arsenal have lacked since Sol Campbell left

Carragher does the same Job for Pool ,Puyol does it for Marquez at Barca ,Vidic for Rio, and Campbell used to do it for Toure

good to know I'm still relatively new to it.still learning,as long as i got love for the game...........

John Terry is the best defender in the world.

Ferdinand is.

Carvalho was better than Terry last season too.

Ferdinand is.

Carvalho was better than Terry last season too.

i think Ferdinand and Carvalho are better allround CB infact both of these 2 are the best CB in the World IMO , when they are on there game and dont make any mistakes but they are both prone to errors


take away Vidic and Terry and they are not as good IMO ,Terry had a bad year last year but he has still gotta be one of the best out and out defenders

here is Titi henry rapeing the Pool defence the jack ass on the edge of the box falling over his own feet is Jamie Carrgher and this is not the first time Titi has raped him lol

Another way around take away Carvalho and Terry is exposed.
Just like Ferdinand without Vidic.

yeah deffo it works both ways

i agree Terry is vastly overated but he is still one of the best defenders in the world he cracks the top 10 easy IMO

i think it also depends on the type of team u play in aswell i mean John Terry is protected by Makelele ,Essien and his fullbacks hardly ever cross the half way line and when his side is defending they adaopt a 4-5-1 and squeeze the middle of the pitch as apose to when they are attackig when it becomes 4-3-3 ,obviously Chelsea play a lot differently to Arsenal cause there fullbacks bomb on and Arsenal hold a high line and they have what i like to call 2 recovery centre halfs in Gallas and Toure both are quick and athletic and can deal with stuff over the top where as i dont think John Terry would cope in the Arsenal side cause he has no pace he would get exposed like Senderos because of his lack of pace anything over the top he would get done in a foot race , however this is all well and good but where Gallas and Toure flaws show up is on set peices or putting your foot through the ball and being decisive when the ball is boucing around in the box sticking your head in where it hurts etc

its horses for coarses i guess

Ronaldo
Kaka
Messi
Torres
Fabregas
Xavi
Sneijder
Drogba
Alves
Villa

Haha, some dickhead wrote Rooney. That guy is so ****! Funny how gringoes lick his balls pretending he is world class when he ****ed them up in Euro qualifiers and couldn't bail them out either. He can't even score important goals like Owen, Crouch and Defoe! Shouldn't even be on the first 11. Do I have to poitn out that he is an typical ugly anglo saxon too? So is his disgusting wife that white boys wanks over.

John Terry? LOL.

He reads the game like an open book. I can't count the number of times I've seen him clear the ball off the goal line.

Standard centre half stuff. He is good, but not as good as gringoes think.

The ten best outfield players in the world are:
Daggen -----------Agger-----------------Skrtel-----------Dossena


--------------- Alonso--------- Mascherano-------------

Benayoun-------------Lucas------------------------------ Babel

-----------------------FERNANDO TORRES

No scousers there so you can't say I am biased!!!!!

Lucio, Woodgate, King and Alex aren't even close to the level of the other defenders you've listed. I'd also put on Nesta, Cannavaro and Sergio Ramos.

King ,Woodgate are quality defenders if they were'nt injured all the while ,anyway thats beside the point i was trying to show how the respective partnerships work

Sergio Ramos lol this kid is a **** CB to rash gets done for position aswell

I disagree ... Ramos is a very good defender (he certainly isn't **** lol).

he is not a good CB

He is definetly not as good a CB as Woodgate or King

he is not a good CB

That is ridiculous ... Woodgate and King are good Uefa cup quality players. Sergio Ramos is potenitally one of the best defenders in the world. The fact that he starts almost every game for a massive club like Real Madrid who can afford to buy any player they wanted proves it.

id put Micah Richards in the same catergory as Ramos both athletic quick ,young talented defenders but both get done for position at times due to lack of experience

at times Ramos looked a nervous FB for Spain IMO ,i used to watch him for Madrid when he first signed and i could not understand why he was so higly rated TBH

Real Madrid signed Thomas Graveson son and have had Raul Bravo in their squad for years lol ,they also payed 15 mil for Craptista

Woodgate is a top CB son when he used to play for Real Madrid they looked solid defensively as apose to when Ramos was playing when he was injured

as for King i think he showed how good he was/is against France in 2004 when Henry never got a sniff untill James pulled him down in the box and King has been excellent for Tottenham in the premiership infact he is integral to their defence any Spurs fan will tell u that ,King & Woodgate are top defenders when fit

Yeah a comparison with Richards is fair. I think the thing about them getting caught out of postion is only really a problem when they are up against top quality players when their pace won't get them out of trouble. Like you said its down to experince and they will learn.

Real Madrid signing Graveson and Woodgate was a mistake. Woodgate was never good enough to hold down CB for a team like Madrid, he got sold and has now found his place a few levels down at Uefa Cup level. The same thing would happen to King if he ever had the opportunity to play for a big club.

Ramos is very tidy going forward, strong and good at set pieces However, he is also positionally naive, often infatuated with charging forward at the expense of defending appropriately and simply lacks a defender's mentality

i think the Russia game showed this aswell, Ramos also got done in the Sweden game against Ibrahimovic ,as a defender he is naive i dont deny he is talented but he is not up there with the best CB in the world at the moment IMO

Woodgate had to go cause he was alway injured when he played for Madrid they hardly conceeded any goals when Woodgate played ,when Ramos had to fill in at CB he got done plenty of times the kid is naive at defending i dont know how u can consider him to be up there with Cannavaro ,Nesta

Tottenham a big club thats charitable lol

agreed and IMO thats one quailty that Woodgate has in abundence good postitional sense he is not a John Terry type player who sticks his head it where is hurts or a good recovery defender lilke Richards/Ramos he is a more cultured CB that relys on his postional sense id put King in the same kinda catergory aswell

Woodgate WAS good enough, he was one of their best defenders, the stats will show that whenever Woodgate played Real had a high win percentage. He was just injury prone.

exactly i watched Woodgate when he played for Madrid and he was excellent when he played this misconception he was a flop is incorrect he had one bad game for them early on but after that he was excellent and the fans loved him

I remember watching Woodgates debut for Real after his long injury. I swear his first touch was an own goal lol

Also I hate to say it but I agree with that spastic Rafeal Benitez in this thread about what he said about Wayne Rooney. Can't believe people have put him in the top 10 in the world. He is good don't get me wrong but not top 10, he's one of the most overrated players in modern times.

Peter Crouch scores important goals? Are you talking about the ones against the likes of Andorra, Macedonia, Estonia etc? :lol1: All his goals have been against **** teams excluding Croatia.I was thinking more along the lines of Manure in FA Cup, hat trick V Arsenal, 7 CL goals in his last half full season but never mind. Even if you;re thining of England at least some goals are better than none which is what Rooney manged for 2 years in competitive games! Fat useless ugly cunt! BTW the goal V Trinidad was important even though they are ****e. And how come Rooney couldn;t score against them ****e teams? Truth is Crouch or Defoe are the men for England. Rooney should be on bench or plane overrated ****e. And before I get accused of some antimanure agenda let me tell you I'd rather play Smith ahead of him!

good to know I'm still relatively new to it.still learning,as long as i got love for the game...........I agree. Good man. You did well and all you need to do is get rid of fat overrated ugly ****e cunt Rooney! Can't shoot for **** that lad and his bird makes me sick too.

Crouch and Defoe? Oh dear. That's when you know England are ****. And you know nothing about football so please stop discussing you know little of.

Crouch and Defoe? Oh dear. That's when you know England are ****. . They are! Rooney, Becks, terry, Fat Lard, all overrated. That is why they will never win **** but dream on son dream on. I don't mind watching you stigy losers cry like women everytime you think Shrek is going to win it!
