Best player in the world (Soccer)

[D-MiZe]

i think kaka won it before ronaldo ever did...

Prove it?

[AssasinKing]

right now, messi is the best.

but for me, when kaka is on form no one...NO ONE comes close!!!!

I always say this too....but then any of them on top form....are unstoppable..but kaka just seems that much more, but then i keep thinking...damn, messi cant be stopped on form....but kaka will outsprint a team on form...ronaldo cant go past som1 dropping off him, seems like lately hes got abit scared to run at people like he used 2.....

Messi is best in the world at this moment....Iniesta is 2nd....(fromt performances this year)

Kaka declined since then, belongs in League 2.

Messi is best in the world at this moment....Iniesta is 2nd....(fromt performances this year)

actually iniesta is a good shout. he was man of the match in the champs league final.

how do you feel about ronaldo going to real?

[JoeKickAss]

Messi > Kaka > Ronaldo...right now.

[Kbmunro]

Kaka declined since then, belongs in League 2.

he has mabye declined since 07, but he still won it before ronaldo.

[TRAVI$]

Messi, he even showed up Ronaldo in the final.

[AssasinKing]

actually iniesta is a good shout. he was man of the match in the champs league final.

how do you feel about ronaldo going to real?

Ye, n i give credit cos ronaldo was out best player in the champs league final...but then again wasnt hard considerin how united played...

Im not anoyd....like i said in the ronaldo thread i aint sang his name for over a year, i jst dont like him, hes sly, a snake and doesnt play for any1 besides himself...when you look at rooney, he plays for the fans...nothing else...hes the example of the scholes...giggs...gary nevilles we hav....

And like i said, no player in the world is worth 80million...prices r getting ridiculous....i think fergie did the right thing....ronaldo wanted to leave...he did last season and didnt play like he wanted to be there last season....80mil now rather then saying no...ronaldo playing up and then real offering 60mil or so.....may aswel take the best offer we were gna get...

And from now we can work on building a team around rooney....hes the man...always was...and will be for years to come

to be honest, for a while i was on the "rooney is overrated" bandwagon. he never scored enough goals for me to warrent his superhero like status.

but over the past 2 seasons, i have realised he is not the type of player, he likes to come deep and set other players up. i do think he is wasted on the left(aswell as henry at barca)i reckon he is better suited as a 3rd striker behind berba and tevez, getting the ball from the midfiels and running straight at the defence...then playing berba or tevez in.

if he was always hainging around the semi circle waiting for a ball from midfiels, or a cut back from a winger, i think he could be alot more effective than just a striker playing a winger...
