All right, so I saw an article about Ibrahimovic being voted as the best Swedish player for the seventh time in eight years(!). No surprise, really, however this resulted as usual to football related thoughts in my case, especially regarding how this topic applies in international football.

What I want you to do is to set up your very own, personal list of the best players from each big football nation. Now I know this will gradually change, but it's not like the changes will be something like this: "Whop, Messi sucks. Let's go with Zabaleta for Argentinian." That has to take some time.

Please try to be within a place between one and three players. Personally I'll just list up the countries by how the FIFA ranking currently looks like, and skip some teams I don't watch too much (as most of us know, Brazil is on 13th..). So here's my list:

Spain: Iniesta, Xavi
Germany: Özil, Reus
Argentina: Messi
Portugal: Ronaldo, Pepe
Italy: Pirlo
England: Hart, Rooney
Netherlands: Robben, RVP
Colombia: Falcao, Rodriguez
Uruguay: Cavani, Suarez
Brazil: Hulk, Neymar
France: Benzema, Ribéry
Belgium: Hazard, Kompany, Fellaini

Go ahead - make your own!

i think England also had Gerrard

wheres schwienstiger for germany  or sweden with ibrahimovic !!!!!!

i can't imagine spain without Casilass

Please read the whole thread. This is my personal opinion.

Spain:Iniesta,Villa,Xavi,Cazorla,Xabi,Ramos..(and many others)
Germany:(oh god i want to add all them)Gotze,Ozil,Reus,Hummels,Schweinsteiger,Lahm
Argentina:Messi,Aguero,Lamela
Portugal:Ronaldo,Moutinho,Coentrao
Italy:Pirlo,De Rossi,Cassano
England:Hart,Rooney,Wilshere
Netherlands:RVD,RVP,Huntelaar
Colombia:FalcaoMartinez(still wonder why Golden left him out,his idol :P )
Uruguay:Suarez,Cavani
Brazil:Hulk,Neymar,Alves,Ronaldinho(till he retires he will be in my list)
France:Ribery,Nasri
Belgium:Kompany,Hazard

Netherlands:RVDV*,RVP,Huntelaar

Don, the list was ordinary meant to give your top one to three players, not over. I know Germany and Spain have so many world class players, but if you would choose your top three, then I don't think players like Götze and Cazorla fits in, because in that case you could just as well add Gerrard for England if you understand what I'm saying.

And yuh, I know. I thought about Martinez, but in my opinion he's actually a bit too early to mention, and I think Rodriguez has been one hell of a player in Porto for a long time. Could add both though. Amazing Colombian duo they've got.

@Golden
Whats in Common with Gotze and Gerrard?Probably you should watch more Arsenal Games and Cazorla.. i have watched him in Villarreal,Malaga and he was amazing. for me is class..The same goes For Gotze plus he is too young..
PS.didnt notice that it was for about  3 players...

Didn't quite get your point, but obviously Götze and Gerrard are just as good as Cazorla if that's what you're trying to argue against. Anyway, I think your list was pretty decent, but if you created a top one to three list it would certainly be a bit different.

Spain: Villa, Xavi, Puyol
Netherlands: RVP, sneijder, VDV
Germany: Scheiwnsteiger, Lahm, Reus
Uruguay: Suarez, Cavani, Muslera
Argentina: Messi, Higuain, Aguero
Brazil: Ronaldihno, Thiago Sivla, Dani Alvez
Portugal: Ronaldo, Moutiniho, Rui
Italy: Pirlo, Buffon, Del Piero
France: Ribery, Benzema, Cabaye
England: Hart, Lampard, Gerrard
Belgium: Fellaini, Hazard, Kompany

Spain: Villa, Xavi, Casillas
Netherlands: Sneijder, RVP, Robeen
Germany: Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Klose
Urguay: Forlan, Suarez, Cavani
Italy: Pirlo, Buffon, Del Piero
France: Ribery, Benzema, ------
England: Rooney, Heskey, Terry
Portugal: Ronaldo, Pepe, Moutinho
Brazil: Kaka, Thiago Silva, Ronaldinho
Argentina: Messi, Higuain, Tevez
Los Pollos Hermanos: Heisenburg, Mike, Gus'
