I don't know if you can choose the best soccer player in the world right now, because there are many players who are doing a good job right now and they're all good.
There is a lot of controversy about that right now... many people say that the best player in the world is Kaka or lionel messi.... but Cristiano Ronaldo has been highly rated and shows that he has the potential to become the best player in the world!
This is a list of some of the favorite soccer players right now.
Lionel Messi: Argentina
Cristiano Ronaldo: Portugal
Rooney: England
Kaka: Brazil
Fernando Torres: Spain
Franck Ribery: France
Andrei Arshavin: Russia
Gerrard: England
Cesc Fabregas: Spain
Drogba: Ivory Coast
If I had to choose the best player in the world right now I'd say Lionel Messi. Cristiano Ronaldo is a very good player but he's not in top form this season. Messi is on fire. No one is performing as well as Messi is. Messi is not selfish and not a golryhunter for the most part, unlike C. Ronaldo. Messi is a very fast player, and I think he will be a star of the world cup 2010.
