Samuel Eto'o. I feel he will have a good World Cup and yes a possible contender. :D
Robin Van Persie. Ah.. this is my 'shock' pick. Ok, he's not the true star quality but I strongly believe he could have a good World Cup!
Cristiano Ronaldo. Ok I do feel that perhaps he needs a 'better team' and a better coach (I am not impressed with what CQ has done for Portugal at all) but how could I write Ronaldo off? His form has been great all season in a very poor Real Madrid side and if not for Ronaldo, Real Madrid might not even finish 2nd in the Spanish league.
Lionel Messi: Probably the most talented and skillful player in the world currently. His biggest problem is clearly Maradona. If not for Maradona, this Argentina team would have stand a real good chance to win.
And lastly Wayne Rooney. I believe a good coach is important and in Fabio Capello, England have indeed a good coach, which means this England team could go far and Wayne Rooney, who had been superb all season for Man United, could indeed be the star!
---------------------
The forgotten or the left overs. LOL!
Kaka? No form. I reckon his first season for Real Madrid was a nightmare. Wrong move to join this team!
Torres? His injury hell for Liverpool is making me write him off.
Xavi? Sorry but I have a strange feeling that Spain would disappoint. :D
Lius Fabiano? I like him actually. Rank outsider.
Carlos Teves? He has indeed a great season for City but from what I have seen, Maradona doesn't seem to know what to do with Teves in his team! So how can I expect him to shine?
Didier Drogba? Is he playing or not? That's the problem, yes?
Rank outsider is Mphela from South Africe.
Well this is my selection. :D
Anyone care to talk some balls and name me 5 players who would most likely be the star player in this year's World Cup?
Robin van Persie
ReplyDeleteDavid Villa
Miroslav Klose
Arjen Robben (if he plays)
Cesc Fabregas
Richard: You have Klose? His form has been poor lately and I am not even sure if he will start for Germany. And I rate Joachim Low lowly as a coach. :P
ReplyDeleteAh.. I left out Cesc and Villa. :P
this is no fun
ReplyDeletewhy not pick the next El-Hadji Diouf?
random: :stare:
ReplyDeleteThis is FIFA World Cup and not World Water Gardener Cup!
:X
the next world cup "star" that goes to liverpool for crazy price and becomes a flop
ReplyDeletelol
This calls for serious action....

Moolah, the Germans have an unique quality to surprise.
ReplyDeleteThe World Cup play suits their style i.e. every team is worried about making a mistake. The German's technical ability may surprise us.
Richard: Quite true. Their team work is usually second to none.
ReplyDeleteBut this year, they have Joachim Low as a coach.
It's just that he's simply terrible.
:P
Poor Tevez. Moolah even got his name wrong. :P
ReplyDeleteMy picks:
Rooney
Iniesta (If he plays)
Robben (Again, if he plays)
Ronaldo
Messi
My prediction will be some shooting stars from Africa or someone unknown at all.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the North Korea plays since the last they play Malaysia for the 1980 Olympic, if my memory still clear. Could they produce some surprise here?
wk: LOL! LOL! My bad spelling. :P
ReplyDeleteI like Iniesta and I rate him very highly! And if he was fit, I reckon Barcelona should have beaten Inter in the CL semis and I also think he is a massive key in Spain's fortunes in the World Cup. Without him, the Spanish armada would be missing a key player!
solomon: North Korea's biggest star is Jong Tae-Se. He's called the Asian Rooney.
