People that play the Beautiful Game

Its possibly absolutely horrible on my part to provide a list of the best five footballers mainly due to the fact that such a list is possibly as subjective as you can get. Anyway, have tried to give a list of people who I can trust to throw on the soccer field when the martians challenge us to a friendly game of Soccer.




  1. Ronaldo




Unquestionably the best striker in world football these days. Magical dribbling skills and the pace to burst through most defences make him a feared presence. Can create goals out of nothing, but possibly the most amazing quality of this dude is his perseverance. Had his knee horribly injured with a rash challenge and came back with a vengeance (and with a bit of fat on his sides, which bodes well for most of us) to spearhead the Real attack.




  1. Thierry Henry




A close second when it comes to strikers. Cold and precise in front of goal with not a hint of nerves. Blessed with one of the smoothest accelerations I’ve ever seen. His runs at defences produce panic more often than not. Amazing positional awareness. Just one question... ’’what the hell are you still doing at Arsenal?’’




  1. Pavel Nedved




The long haired check magician is a master of playing in the hole. Single handedly guided Juventus to the Champs League finals, but threw himself out of the game with a stupid second yellow card. Can dribble his way out of a minefield and scores the most spectacular goals after leaving the defence trailing in his wake.




  1. Allesandro Nesta




The bright new face of Italian defence. Combines the skill of Maldini with the grittiness of a Cannavaro. Master of the perfect tackle... dispossessing opposing forwards of the ball with challenges inside the penalty box without so much as dirtying their socks. Has patrolled the AC Milan defence all the way to the Champs League Trophy.




  1. Gianluigi Buffon




The most expensive goal keeper in world football and rightfully so. Kept Juventus in the Champs League final shootout till the last moment when his teammates were all kicking the ball straight at Dida. Tall and rangy with a good leap, it is next to impossible to beat this chappie from a distance. We may forgive him for his disgusting outfit which has stomach muscles printed in purple on the front (ewwww!!!)
