This years FIFA World Cup kicks off on June 11. To have inside the soccer spirit, we're counting down the very best 10 Players to look at. From Lionel Messi to Wayne Rooney to Cristiano Ronaldo, tell us if we've missed anyone you imagine must have made the cut!

No. 10:Essien (Ghana)

This Chelsea midfielder does not shy away from attacking. Among Africa's best soccer players, Michael Eissen led Ghana's team to near glory in Germany in 2006. Being a two-time African Player of the season, Michael is regarded as the world's most major defensive midfielder. He is able to cover a lot of territory, has a lot of energy and possesses a strong long-range shot. His home country is Ghana.

No. 9: Steven Gerrard (The united kingdom)

He's a fantastic attacking midfielder who also operates being a second striker or even a winger. He is able to play virtually anywhere on the area, and that's one thing which make him really important.

Fernando Torres came to be to score goals. He started out in goal but was changed into a striker when he was 7 yrs . old. When he was 10 he scored 55 goals, catching the eye of Atletico Madrid – his preferred Spanish team – which signed him at 17. After having a transfer to Liverpool, this player from Spain has 132 competitive league goals under his belt.

No. 7: Andres Iniesta (Spain)

There is a reason Andre Iniesta's play name is "The Illusionist." As promised, this Barcelona player can produce a steady flow of probabilities for whoever is fortunate enough being playing facing him. Also as promised, he seems to be able to play through nearly every injury. A tiny and complex playmaker using a low center of gravity and a great deal of ball control, it's perfectly logical high of Spain mentions Andre because the greatest player on the planet.

No. 6: Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast)

This Chelsea forward was paid a reported $ 37 mil to relocate from Africa to experience for that British team in 2004. 6 years later, Didier Drogba's proven himself among the world's ideal strikers, and one of the most athletic one. His super-human bodily power makes him practically hard to beat when he puts his intellect into it.

No. 5: Xavi (Spain)

Every team requires a Xavi! He's just about the glue that holds Barcelona's team together these days. He's wise and quick, and makes accurate passes, by having an awesome capability to maintain the ball.

No. 4: Kaka (Brazilian)

Kaka is an uncommon Brazilian star soccer player who originates from an upper-middle-class background. After winning almost any trophy there's to win for Milan, they purchased him to real Madrid for around $ 95 million. However for the entire world Cup, Kaka's considered Brazil's perfect player.

No. 3: Wayne Rooney (Great britain)

Wayne Rooney is called "the baby-faced assassin as well as the assissin-faced baby as part of his native Great britain, where he plays for Man utd. He's an extremely fitness world-class striker who swerves all around the attacking 1 / 2 of the area to decrease back to midfield as needed or give you the final tap on the goal. Together with his fitness/fashion guru wife, Wayne comprises one-half of today's English power pair.

No. 2: Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)

Besides being associated with such celebs as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal was legendary for wearing no. 7 Man utd jersey also worn by soccer greats like Eric Cantona and David Beckham before offered to Real Madrid. He's explosive who focuses on long-range free kicks and shows the opportunity to shoot from virtually anywhere on area of.

No. 1: Lionel Messi (Argentina)

Lionel Messi is the greatest pound-for-pound soccer player on the planet – maybe in recent history. At 22, he's won almost everything there is certainly to win, both individually plus team soccer (he currently plays for Barcelona), including an Olympic gold medal for his home country Argentina. Lionel's game is founded on its unpredictability and wonderful handle of the ball, which always generally seems to do whatever he asks from it. At 5-foot-7, he might be short, but he's an excellent header. In reality, he's So excellent, Maradona, among the best ever soccer players, has called Lionel his successor as Argentina's soccer savior (regrettably, almost every other player who's obtained this label from Maradona before did not cover it).

2010 FIFA World Cup Teams - Uruguay

Uruguay will be playing in its 11th FIFA World Cup in 2010 in South Africa. Uruguay hosted and won the first FIFA World Cup tournament in 1930. Uruguay also won the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil (beating the hosts by 2 goals to 1 in the final). Uruguay also played in the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup tournament in Saudi Arabia and finished in 4th place. Uruguay is currently ranked at number 19 on the FIFA rankings. Uruguay have played in 40 Copa America tournaments. They competed in the competition for the first time in 1916 and have won the Copa America trophy 14 teams over the years.


The Uruguay national football team has 3 nicknames, "Charrúas", "La Celeste Olímpica" (The Olympic Sky Blue) and La Celeste (The Sky Blue). The current head coach of the Uruguay national football team is Oscar Tabárez. This former player has been managing football teams in Europe and South America since 1980. He took up the Uruguay coaching position in 2006 after a spell of 4 years at Argentinian football club Boca Juniors. Rodolfo Rodríguez is the most capped Uruguayan footballer in history. He played for Uruguay in 79 matches between 1976 and 1986. He does not have a single goal behind his name because he played in the goalkeeper position. Héctor Scarone is the highest scoring Uruguayan footballer in history. He scored 31 goals for his country in 52 matches between 1917 and 1932. He was also the manager for Real Madrid (in Spain) between 1951 and 1952.


Uruguay achieved its biggest win in footballing history in 1927 when the team beat fellow South Americans Bolivia by 9 goals to 0. The country suffered its biggest loss in footballing history in 1902, losing by 6 goals to 0 against Argentina. Uruguay will be one of the teams to watch in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in my opinion. They should not be underestimated. They should make it into the last 16 stage of the competition. Uruguay will play in the following 3 group matches in 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa:


11 June 2010 - Uruguay vs France @ Cape Town Stadium - Kickoff at 20:30
