I would put Ronaldinho at #1 and Kaka at #2 for obvious reasons. What I'm really wondering is, will Ronaldinho still be able to play for Brazil now that the Bulls have drafted him?

Lukas "Prinz Poldi" Podolski with Bayern Munich is not even on the Top 50 list. Any idea why he isn't on that list?? I noticed that there is Michael Ballack who played on the Germany 2006 World Cup team. Is the person who suggested this list biased against German teams?

Thierry Henry is my vote for the best in the world. but I cant argue with Essien, Eto'o, or Gerrard or Kaka being above him. Its clear this writer is British cuz of the high rating for Rooney, John Terry, and Frank Lampard.

But what makes it really obviousis that he's included Phil Neville on the list, a player who's good for kicking anything within a 3 foot radius of his foot as hard as he can. This includes the ball, opponents, teammates, referees, and even the corner flag sometimes. this guy has been ejected for kicking his teammate in a game before. and this guy is one of the 50 best players in the world?
