ESPN's Top 50


The World Cup is 100 days away and to celebrate ESPN yesterday posted a list of the 50 best players who will be in South Africa this summer. The top ten were as follows:

1. Lionel Messi
2. Cristiano Ronaldo
3. Wayne Rooney
4. Kaka
5. Xavi
6. Didier Drogba
7. Andres Iniesta
8. Fernando Torres
9. Steven Gerrard
10. Michael Essien

For what it's worth I think Rooney's too high, Iniesta too low and, after watching him last night, Kaka's about right - he's not quite the player he was when he ran the length of Wembley a couple of years ago but he's still damn good.

One selection is spot-on though - Lionel Messi is a pocket genius and I can't wait to watch him this summer.
