Top World Cup Scorers

Some the Top Scorers and Midfielders Playing in the 2010 Soccer World Cup
Links to video clips of Drogba, Messi, Tevez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Lampard, Bent, Defoe, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Villa & Torres

One man doesn't make a team, but as you watch the 2010 Soccer World Cup keep in mind that players like Drogba (Ivory Coast), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Messi and Tevez (Argentina), Rooney, Lampard, Bent and Defoe (England), Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, Fabregas, David Villa and Torres (Spain) are game changers who are a threat to score or create scoring opportunities in any match. Below are some videos of their top goals and plays. They are all great, but Droga and Messi are amazingly talented, creative and impossible to shut down. As a group, England's scorers are very impressive and Rooney, Bent and Defoe are very fast. However, keep in mind that the number of substitutions is limited to 3 per game, so players can't be subbed as they can in American football. Although not the favorite (they are picked 4th behind Spain, Brazil and Argentina), I think England has a good chance this year.

Be Warned - Some of these videos have loud Rap Music, you might want to turn it down.

Didier Drogba goals 2009/2010 (you can see why he is so dangerous - he can score in every way imaginable).

Lionel (Leo) Messi TOP 30 GOALS (Messi is fast, quick, creative, tenacious, breathtaking. Some, including the Arsenal coach, believe he is the best player in the world.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t3KgXbxHnc

"Once he's on the run, Messi is unstoppable. He's the only player who can change direction at such a pace. He is the best player in the world by some distance. He's (like) a PlayStation. He can take advantage of every mistake we make." Ars'ne Wenger, the Arsenal coach/manager, after Barcelona beat Arsenal 4-1 with Messi scoring all 4 goals (April 6, 2010 in the Champions League quarter-final second leg). Watch the 4 goals here www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OwU6h08jH4 . This is one of the most impressive performances I've ever seen. Messi is 5'7" tall. Maradona, the most famous Argentine player and current manager of the Argentine national team, was only 5'5" tall.
