I think Messi will take the title if he leads Argentina to just one world cup. I have never seen anyone play like him...ever.

1. Pele
2. Beckenbauer/Cryff
3. Some other guys
4. Messi

Maradona, that guy played as if he could slow time down.

Argentina has been loaded with talent the three previous WC but they can't get decent coach or they break down at the cup.

Crespo, "la brujita" Veron, Messi, "El Burrito" Ortega, Gabriel Heinze, Lucho Gonzales, Ayala, Saviola, Maxi Rodriguez.... That's some talent!

Neymar!

Not a huge soccer fan, but will watch the big games.

From a striker prospective, how high would you rank Christiano Ronaldo (sp)

Mehh, he's good, but his teammates made him play great in the WCs, never did much at the club level, right?

Messi is the best player in the world right now just like Pelé was during his time. Now the BIG difference between Messi and Pelé is that the Brazilian has 3 World titles to his name, Messi has been very disappointing in World Cup play.
