Did he already go to Chelsea? Wow! Yeah he is good, not great, but good. Currently the world's best player is none other than RONALDINHO GAUCHO in Barca...in Spain...in La Liga...you get the point duh.

pele played amazing football for over a decade and was inspirational  to not  only brazil winning 3 world cups but also to other players all over the world. he played his best football in brazil and also in the world cups.\nGeorge Best was the best player in the english league for a couple of years. his ball skills were second to none. however, no world cup win goes against him as his skills were not seen by all in the world stage. he did not have an allround game as the brazilian did. \nso to conclude, Pele is certainly the best player.

Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal because he is very skillful and talented. He is pacy. He has done well in Manchester United and he will bring his achievments to Germany and be on of the most outstanding players the world will ever see. He will one day be beside footballing gr8s like Maradona, Pele, Best, Ronaldinho.

Sammiey....you don't even have to ask! Soccer is the BEST sport in the world.  There is not a better game in the world!!!\n\nMichael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Lampard, Del Piero, Totti, Nedved, Adriano, Donovan.  I could go on and on.  These guys and many others are the best athletes in the world!

Ronaldinho is the best footballer in the world because he won the FifPro world player of the year award the past two years, led he team to two consecutive La Liga titles (04-05,05-06), and also led him team to their first UEFA champions league title since 1992.

THE LAST WORLD CUP WAS JAPAN/KOREA IN 2002.  THE BEST FOOTBALLER WAS RONALDO FROM BRAZIL.  IF YOU WERE REFERRING TO THE WORLD CUP IN MEXICO IN 1986, THE BEST FOOTBALLER WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT MARADONA.

Manchester United all the way! The Red Devils are by far the best team in the English Premier League with Sir Alex Ferguson in the lead. The best player (after the exit of David Beckham) is of course the youngster Cristiano Ronaldo who can do amazing things with his legs! He is one of the top players and ppl should look out for him in the summer during World Cup Finals cuz he is sure to play out a storm!

Pele is the best.\nMaradona was not bad but how he has been tainted by drugs - he cannot be an ambassador for the sport unless he gets some proper rehabilitation

I think the best soccer player in history has to be Pele. He could do almost anything brilliantly, and is just pure genius.\n\nMaradonna, Platini, Johan Cruyff, Puskas, Di Stefano must all be considered great players as well, but I think Pele had something on all of them.

By definition, there can be only one "best player" in the competition, by the way, it will be either Ronaldinho or Wayne Rooney.\nYou read it here first!!

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.

It depends what you mean by best footballer \n\nI would say Roy Keane as he is probably the most gifted player to be currently playing in the SFL - However players like Nakamura, Petrov, Buffel even Maloney & Riordan would command a higher transfer fee currently and probably possess more skill than Keane but Keane is by far a better all round player than all these.
