Top 10 World Cup 2006 players
1. Michael Ballack (GER) – do you know that the first time I heard of Ballack was in the 2002 World Cup? Oh yeah, remind me to put Wayne Rooney on top on 2010.
2. Wayne Rooney (ENG) – one word: move over, Beckham.
3. Edwin Van der Sar (NED) – oh yes, id0l Van der Sar is still alive.
4. Ruud Van Nilsterooy (NED) – thanks to Bjoe, I was introduced to a Ruud awakening.
5. Fredrick Ljunberg (SWE) – thanks to the English Premiere League, he gets some name recall.
6. Kaka (BRA) – before the World Cup began, Kaka was just one of these Brazilian guys. Then I saw his face. With strategic marketing, he could overtake David Beckham as world football’s poster boy. It’s a good thing Ronaldo scores a lot of goals; else Nike wouldn’t have considered him as an endorser.
7. Ronaldinho (BRA) – with the constant press mileage the Brazil team gets, its inevitable that besides Ronaldo, at least one other player would ring a bell when mentioned. This guy is just a two-time FIFA Player of the Year. That simple. So what has Beckham done besides being in the cover of fashion magazines?
8. Oliver Kahn (GER) – a sentimental favourite. Just looking at this guy’s face and you would be intimidated in scoring a goal against him.
9. Michael Owen (ENG) – another player Bjoe introduced to me. He was raving to me that this “Golden Boy” was way better than Beckham. Guess what, he didn’t disappoint.
10. Sol Campbell (ENG) – if you play fullback and you manage to score a goal, you must be someone special then.
2. Wayne Rooney (ENG) – one word: move over, Beckham.
3. Edwin Van der Sar (NED) – oh yes, id0l Van der Sar is still alive.
4. Ruud Van Nilsterooy (NED) – thanks to Bjoe, I was introduced to a Ruud awakening.
