Frank Lampard because he is a simply all around perfect player. He controls the midfield, dictates the pace of the game, defends when he has to, scores goals like a forward, and has killer passes and free kicks. He is also a great leader.\n\nJohn Terry because he is the heart of any defense. He risks his own safety in order to keep his goal safe. Not only does he control the defense, but he also scores alot from corner kicks which always helps. He is a true captain\n\nSteven Gerrard because he has the kind of physical strength no other player on that team possesses. Like the other two he is a great leader and along with Lampard two of the best midfielders on earth. He is also a great goal-scorer but more importantly, he scores vital goals (as evident from Liverpool's CL wins last season). Even though he can't pass as well as Lampard, he provides England with an extra aerial presence.

I know you will disagree with my picks, but so far the good players have been:\n\n1. Shaka Hislop: Kept a clean sheet against Sweden and for 84 minutes against England. When you consider how big an underdog Trididad & Tobago is, and how many shots he's had hit against him, he's done incredibly well.\n\n2. Augustin Delgado: 2 goals scored by the Ecuadorian striker, in 2 matches, for 2 wins. They have been a revelation in the World Cup and are already guaranteed a 2nd round berth (their best ever finish).\n\n3. Javier Saviola: Been class in both wins, especially the 6-0 THRASHING of Serbia/Montenegro. Saviola wasnt expected to start for Argentina this world cup, thank god for them he did. Alot of the team has played well in their matches, but Saviola's been the best over 2 World Cup games. I THINK HE'S BEEN THE BEST SO FAR OVERALL\n\nHonerable mentions: Valencia (Ecuador), Lucas Neill (Australia), Villa/Torres (Spain), Park Ji Sung (Korea) and Robben (Holland)

1)Rooney-Has brilliant support- Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham, Cole, etc has to take the world by storm \n\n2)Van Nistelrooy-I have got a funny feeling for the Dutch-Just might be their year\n\n3)Messi-Terrific talent  and in the argentine side-should \ndo well\n\n4)Ballack-german side does not frighten me if I am Brazilian or English- but yaah they have crowd support on their side\n\n5)Henry-Never shown it for the Les Blues\n\n6)Drogba-Ivory Coast???I don't think Mr Cheater will do too well.I back Ivory Coast do win a game but can't see them going through.

Tough question. I suppose the obvious answer is that Sven thinks he's one of the best strikers in England. A better question might be why is Theo Walcott playing for England. In any case, I would have liked to see Darren Bent selected in the squad, he was the highest scoring Englishman in the Premiership this season, surely worth a call up.

If you're asking me to put together a list of the 11 I would put on the field  to make the best team ever it would go something like this, at least concerning people who played in world cups.... (in a 4-4-2)\nGK-Gordon Banks (best save in W.C. history)\nDF- Bobby Moore, Paolo Maldini, Cafu, Beckenbauer\nMF- Diego Armando Maradona, Michael Platini, Zico, Johan Cryuff\nFW- Pele, Ronaldo\nDebate any of these with me, I promise you they would be the choice of most people who know football (I know it's annoying that I have 2 Brazilians playing up front, but really, can anyone debate that with me?  Pele was a more inventine and creative player than Gerd Muller and Ronaldo might be the best W.C. tournament player ever, or at least he is right up there with Maradona!

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

you can't say "he is the best player...each is talented in his position....\n\nForward - Shevchenko,henry,owen...\nmidfeilders - Beckham,Zidane,Ronaldhinio,gerrard,Lampard,Ballack,kaka.\nDefenders - Terry,Rio ferdinand,Carvalihio etc...\nGoalie's - Buffon,cassilus,cech etc.

YES!!!\n\nJohn Terry and Jamie Carragher have been the 2 best English centre backs this season, and perhaps even last season aswell.\n\nThe problem is that Sven has his favourites, one of which is Rio (overated) Ferdinand who makes too many mistakes in my opinion

I'm an Arsenal fan, & I don't think you can even compare those three right now. Messi is easily the best of the three. Rooney is good, but still nowhere near greatness just yet. Give him a few more years & see how he develops. Will he be able to curb his temper & attitude?\n\nCesc is learning really well & doing better in each game, but he still has a way to go. But yes, given time, I believe he can definitely be a huge force to reckon with.

Who says Beckham is the best player?\nWhere?\nWhich vote are you talking about???\nBeckham is not even close to Ronaldinho talent!!!

OMG....Rooney and a healthy Owen is your best bet.  Most teams would love to have those two up front.  I like Crouch and Defoe, but come on.....they are no where near the striker of Owen or Rooney.  Seriously, think about this.  It's the World Cup...you are the coach of England.  Your country is watching....who are you putting up front?

As this question is in the Scottish Football section, I shall provide two answers (make that three - I will include best English player).\n\nBest Scottish Player: since you are an Everton supporter I will humour you and say Duncan Ferguson :-)\n\nBest English Player: Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard equal first (I did give you big Dunc after all!)\n\nBest Player:  Thierry Henry (easily the best).

I agree. Beckham is the best at taking freekicks. Two victories for England have been due to his freekics.

Raul IS definately one of the best...he's a little older now and had a poor season for Real Madrid because of injury but he is fit now and I hope he has a great tournament unless he's playing England.
