its easy to sya that stevey G is the best cos he sticks out in the liverpool team. but if you think about it messi xavi and iniesta play for a team that is full of superstars that would easly steal the limelight from steve had they gone to aanfield so just the meer fact that inesta shines out while surounded by arguably the best player on the planet and the best pure striker in the game, etto as well as the most cultured right foot in the game xavi, since zizou left then out got to admit that iniesta is ahead of his time. and i havent even mentioned people like henry. as for ronaldo, he does not have big match temprament, thats what distinguishes between great and good. when crunch matches come he is always mediocre. messi performs everywhere ask the argentines back in argentina.

1 xavi
2 iniesta
3 messi
4 steve g

Iniesta and Gerrard are both fantastic footballers with unique abilities. Messi is also a fantastic footballer with an amazing football mind.

Why is Messi rated higher than Iniesta and Gerrard?
- Messi began playing for one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the world (Barcelona) at a tender age of 18. If you take Iniesta and Gerrard, Where they as energetic and explosive as Messi when they were 18?

-It is not everyday you get a player being compared to Diego Maradona. Its true that Iniesta is an astonishing play maker with very sharp and accurate thinking ability. Steven Gerrard is also a collective playmaker and makes great and effective use of the entire pitch with his threatning long and short pass distributions. BUT Messi… He really is something special, something unique. The way he adds more flare to the “Beautiful Game” and his dribbling ability is a key to hiis succesful carreer. Hes dribbles past defenders with such simplicity and speed that the defenders cannot cope with him. Even watching him without the ball hes is special. His runs are so explosive and sudden that can easily catch a deffender of guard. He is such a fine delicate player who keeps suprising people with his magnificent explosive skills. He is truely amazing.

excuse me….Ronaldo is the best and dont you forget it..how are you people so nasty, give credit where it is due, cannot compare CR to Messi or all the other guys. When messi won it was only his lucky day, and that is all, it wont happen again and besides that. Cr has all the other things well in proprotion even better than david B.

To me, Gerrard is the best. He is the most INFLUENTIAL player in the world. He can turn a match on his own. (FA Cup Final 06). What’s more, he can inspire others to turn matches (Champs League Final – his 1st goal). He scores a crazy amount of goals for a central midfielder, and he is one of the best tacklers out of the world’s CMs. While Iniesta, Xavi, and Alonso’s passing may be slightly more precise, he can still play mighty balls and also has great vision (assist for Cisse in FA Cup final 06, ball for Kuyt in 0-0 draw vs West Ham this year).

However, the one thing that will always remain unproven with Gerrard will be his ability to play for a hugely talented side where he is just another “cog in the wheel” like Barca, Real, Inter, or Chelsea (because he will never leave Anfield).

His performances for England are improving as he is playing his natural game. Under Erikkson he played as a defensive mid, Lampard’s clean up man (what Makelele did for Lampard at Chelsea) which he did well. McClaren used him completely incorrectly but Capello has finally realised that Gerrard is England’s best and is giving him a free role, and he is subsequently playing much better for England.

One stat: Messi scored his first goal against an English club in the Champs League final: before that he had played against Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea (almost 10 games). Even Arbeloa marked him easily. Proof (if any was needed) that Messi would not last in the English game and thus cannot attain the title of “World’s Best Footballer”.

Neither can Ronaldo because, for all his wonderful goals and performances, he goes missing when it matters. If things aren’t going his way, he will sulk. (Champs League Final – 4 shots in 10 minutes, Barca score then he barely touches it.) Also when he was sullen and sulky in EPL near the end of the season (when he threw his shirt off, shrugged and sulked his way through being subbed because he’d done nothing to help his side).

Iniesta is not yet as good as Gerrard, nor does he offer the goalscoring prowess, but at 23, has the potential to be better.

I bet all of you guys who argued gerrard credibility are those shithead red devil’s fans.. there’s reasons why legendary zidane (hail great zidane) vote him as world best player (ronaldinho too). as for ronaldo, for me he is one greedy player. he usually dive (trully shameful =P) to get those free kicks and scored some. i think he manage to score 42 goals that season just because his teammates play very well and other MU players are also great players( he should’nt get all the credit). the reason why ManU lost the UCL final is because of him. he want to become “the hero” to get his second world best player award.look at how many long shot he takes that night. Messi trully is the best player right now (no one can agrue that) and for gerrard, he amazed me cuz he drives his team mates ( other liverpool players sucks like second division team).his influence make his team play well.. thats why zidane toute him as the best.. cannot imagine how well he can do if he plays for giant teams like barcelona =D.. lampard has class but not good enough for me.. rooney- lack of discipline and passion.. kaka’ is great.. xavi too…iniesta is unbelievable..

for me the the top 10 rank should be:

1. messi
2. gerrard
3. iniesta
4. kaka’
5. xavi
6. lampard
7. ronaldo
8. arshavin
9. fabregas
10.torres

go barca!! viva la catalonia!!
