it all depends on the position: \n\nGOALKEEPER: BUFFON GIANLUIGI (ITA)\nDEFENDER: COLE ASHLEY (ENG)\nMIDFIELDER: FABREGAS FRANCESC (ESP)\nFORWARD: VAN NISTELROIJ RUUD (NED)....\n\nAnyway this is just my own opinion...

That seems to be the popular answer.  However, I disagree for several reasons.  First, Barcelona's defense is not impenetrable, and all it takes is ONCE for Thierry Henry to get behind them to make them pay.  He is so clinical, all he needs is one good chance. Second, Jens Lehmann is the hottest keeper in the world right now.  If he takes this form into the WC cup with him , watch for Germany to be very dangerous! Third, Arsenal's defense hasn't been breached in forever, they currently have smashed the record set previously by AC Milan for minutes without allowing a goal. They have a TON of confidence going into that match, I'd pick Arsenal!

For sure it is JOHN TERRY.He is defender,goal scorer,leader.All in all he is the best player of CHELSEA.

Andriy Shevchenko / then tied between Frank Lampard / Steven Gerrard\n\nWell, I would say the best players are ones who make the entire team better (through a combination of leadership and also because he is so dangerous on his own that the other team needs to pay more attention, leaving his teammates to cause damage).  Great players can also take over on their own when needed, especially in clutch/difficult situations.\n\nSo, I believe Ronaldinho is the best player in the world, but the second best player should probably be Wayne Rooney.  He causes so much havoc for the other team, injects so much energy into the team spirit and can either take over a game or free up his team to cause damage (Ruud Van Nistelrooy, e.g.).\n\nBut, Man U have not been performing, so the team would have to be Chelsea - therefore, must be Frank Lampard because he can do so many things.  Steven Gerrard plays a similar role, and he is clutch, but I think they both come behind Andriy Shevchenko who scores goals (leads Serie A every year), wins leagues, wins the European Champions League (or gets his team to the final), and makes his teammates better.  So, Andriy Shevchenko!\n\nThierry Henry, if he ever produced in clutch games, would be in this list as well.

that would be a definite yes.They have the perfect team,everything from their defence to striking is the best.MOst of the defenders in the world team of the year was from ac milan.and we all know shevchecko is one of the best, so eventually with a team like that they willl WIN.

In a poll conducted a couple of years ago by FIFA, audience the world over rated Diego Maradona (Argentina) as the best player ever by giving him the maximum votes. On the other hand, critics rated Pele (Brazil) as the best.\n\nWhereas there exists some element of doubt, Pele is often considered as the best player by players and critics alike.

My list would be Schmeichel in goal without a doubt. His record for one on ones, his all round shot stopping, his composure, his consistency etc.\nIn defence I am going for Maldini, Baresi, Bergomi and Costacurta. Maybe not the best possible defenders but they play the same style and that would help.\nin midfield Ryan Giggs on the left, Platini and Keane in the middle and Michael Laudrup on the right. Maradona and Van Basten up front. So so so many players that could be chosen though.

Arsene Wenger is the best...\nTo be honest, arsene has got an incredible eyes on bargain and alex loves to play mind games...

Ronaldhino is the best. A person with gr8 speed, skill and tactics.

Cristiano Ronaldo. He has all the qualities of a gr8 footballer. Skill, potential, speed, confidence. He can definately get past 2 or 3 defenders. Other teams have trouble playing against him. Plus he's hoooot!!!!!!

Brazil - Hands down. They have the greatest offence, and an impressive defence and goalie as well. They are lead by some of the most dominant players, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, which are supported by other great players such as Adriano, Robinho, Roberto Carlos. If these reasons don't satisfy you, I believe Brazil is leading the world rankings at this moment. And the last reason... Ronaldo needs a good retirement.
