Best Soccer Players of 2012-2013

Lionel Messi
Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi, born June 24, 1987, is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Inter Miami CF in Major League Soccer. Widely considered one of the greatest players of all time, Messi has won eight Ballon d'Or awards and numerous domestic and international titles. He... read more
He holds the ball with amazing dribbling skills and with blistering pace, can be nightmare for any defensive lineup or for any player
Unfortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo was born in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Messi rules the soccer world whether CR7 and his fans like it or not.
He has glue on his boots, For me he is the best football player after ronaldhino gone from Fc Barcelona...

Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (born February 5, 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr and captains the Portugal national team. He has collected five prestigious Ballon d'Or awards and countless major trophies over his storied career... read more
Cristiano ronaldo is the best end of story screw messi cristiano ronaldo has broke records all over the world.
Messi has been impressive and so has Ronaldo.. To be honest, I think it'd be quite unfair if Ronaldo doesn't win this time. "He can be a one man team messi can't because if xavi or iniesta are not playing he is bad". Ronaldo individuals records are outstanding, despite the fact that Messi can be the top scorer in la liga this time.. Remember, Ronaldo was the top scorer the previous season of la liga.. Yet he didn't win as real madrid wasn't champion. So, as real win will la liga this season, Ronaldo has the chance of getting much closer to the Ballon D'or title. It's due to him and his personal efforts that real madrid will win back the la liga title again. Yet, the decisions are only in the hand of the FIFA. All remains to be seen now.

Neymar
Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (born February 5, 1992), commonly known as Neymar or Neymar Jr, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger for Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal and the Brazil national team.
He is the all-time top goalscorer for the Brazil national team.... read more
Neymar is like the best new kid in town. It's a joke for Rooney to be in the top 3 in this list that's Neymar's spot. Messi and Ronaldo are beast though. Still though- Neymar is the perfect example of why Brazil are such a famous football team- like that other guy said.
Neymar brings art back to soccer - which is why Brazilians got their fame in the first place.
To be the best in the world is very simple you have to be a complete player, in other word you have to be able to shoot accurately with both feet you have to jump high to reach cross balls you have to have dribbling skills and speed, you have to be able to pass for team mate and create scoring chances all of these characteristics will make you a complete player so who has them do you, in my opinion so only ronaldo had them not C. Ronaldo, Ronaldo the Brazilian and the next in line shall be neymar. By the way I want you to mark my words missy will not be the same player as soon he is traded to a different team, he needs players like xavi to help him and they will not be there. You could take this to the bank.

Robin van Persie
Robin van Persie is a Dutch coach and former professional footballer who played as a striker. He is the all-time top scorer for the Netherlands men's national team and is considered one of the best strikers of his generation.... read more
Robin van Persie is amazing for his age and having 2 kids, he has still pulled through to being the 3rd est player in the world. Of course Ronaldo and Messi top that list. Stay strong, cute and an AMAZING striker big guy!
He Experienced bad injuries at the past, But he came back at the premier league to took 3 individual Trophies! Player Of the Year, Golden Boot, PFA Players Writers!
I am going to keep it short. If you saw his second goal against Aston Villa, that's why I think he is the best player in the world. Also because his hat trick against Aston Villa, which included that goal won the title for Man United. Ronaldo and Messi dribble with the ball too often, risking loosing it, while Van Persie passes to ensure he doesn't lose the ball. Also he beat Suarez to wint the golden boot in the Premier League!
-
Wayne Rooney
Wayne Mark Rooney is a former English professional footballer who played for and captained both Manchester United and the England national team. He remains Manchester United's all-time leading goalscorer and was England's record goalscorer until 2023. Following his illustrious playing career, he transitioned... read more
Rooney's form is awesome currently, he keeps on scoring and has good skills to keep Manchester United winning.
Third best player in the world. Look at how many goals he's scored and how world class he was at 16 years old. He doesn't play as well as he used to because Van Persie and Falcao are always up front, and he's always in CAM, so he doesn't get as many goals.
Look at him in World Cup 2014. He scored his first ever goal, but in international friendlies he scored most of the goals for England. He also scored the penalty for England vs. Norway, and he is one of the top scorers for Manchester United of all time and one of the highest scorers in all the English league put together.
-
Andres Iniesta
Andrés Iniesta Luján is a retired Spanish professional footballer who most notably played for FC Barcelona and the Spain national team. He won the FIFA World Cup with Spain in 2010, scoring the winning goal in the final against the Netherlands. The legendary midfielder also secured four Champions League... read more
He is the best. His fast mind tackles, passes, scoring abilities made him so... THE BEST. AS he was the hero of the victory of Spain in world cup HE got his name a bright future. ANDRES INIESTA.
He is Europe's 2012 best player, he has everything a team needs to win, he doesn't depend on team mates, just like messi, he has glue on his boots.
I cannot believe that Andres Iniesta is not in the top three. His incredible and magnificient skills are used for other people to shine. Every time, he is there, making Messi shine and shine more and more. Messi is just where he is now
Because of Iniesta! Give a cheer to Iniesta!

Gareth Bale
Gareth Frank Bale is a retired Welsh professional footballer who played as a winger for the English club Tottenham Hotspur, the Spanish club Real Madrid, and the Wales national team. He captured a staggering five UEFA Champions League titles during his historic tenure in Spain. The explosive forward... read more
He is much better than RvP and Rooney
And Neymar and Falcao and all the
Others except for Ronaldo and Messi.
But I like Bale more.
It's loads of children's hue loves
Barcelona (Messi) and
Real Madrid (Ronaldo) just because
They win each year but there not real
Fans because they just vote for the best.
Like Neymar is not worth to be near 1-2-3-4-5 in the world. because he hasn't Shoad that
He's Ben good in Barcelona.
Santos isn't in a great league so the
Have no pro aponens so it's easy to
Break throw all the players in the
Other teams.
If you hold in a club do it for your hole life,
Don't pick the ones who win because
Any team can win the league.
Top 10 should have Falcao and Cavani.
Football is not made for the best it's
Made for having fun watching it and
Hold on a team for life.
I always say: TO DARE IS TO DO, because
I'm an spurs fan for life. I've hold for Spurs
All my life and I

Zlatan Ibrahimović
Zlatan Ibrahimović (born October 3, 1981) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a striker for multiple clubs during his career, including Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), FC Barcelona, and Manchester United. He scored over 500 career goals for club and country while winning league titles... read more
Guys,
Look I will make it clear!
More then ever he is the best footballplayer at this moment... Why?
He change from team several times and just marks his talent after not even 3 games. Makes fans dream, gives you superbly football skills and just make a team turning on wheels with him in your team.
Ok Messi got better stats, and I do love Messi! But he didn't took the challenge and risk of changing teams and competition...
Be realistic and you got the solution...
Bye
He could do bicycle kick, banana kick and other cool attack. Many managers is interested in him as he is a professional player. He says if Messi could score 89, he could score 90. Many fans attracts to him because of his cool moves, He is a top goalscorer in every league he goes. He tried hard to make his team better. He helped his teammates in many ways. His swedish coach praised him after every match.

Xavi Hernandez
Xavier "Xavi" Hernández Creus is a former Spanish professional footballer who most notably played as a central midfielder for FC Barcelona and the Spain national team.
He won four UEFA Champions League titles with Barcelona and the 2010 FIFA World Cup with Spain.... read more
I wouldn't agree more. Where sheer talent exists credit much go. These are some of the finest talents that we have of the day. Maybe of all times after the talents of 1998 to 2002 era. Messi is born for soccer and to live it. No doubt he is numero uno in the world at the moment with his prowess in ball handling and manipulation abilities not to mention his breathe taking pace and the phenomenal ability to convert goals out of nothing. Cristiano Ronaldo redefines soccer with his mesmerizing pace and dribbling abilities coupled together with the tenacity to score goals from any range. Xavi on the other hand simply owns the middle park once his game unveils, his terrific ball possession capabilities and the ability to pass accurately and make the ball move is refreshing to watch. The rest of the list is obviously undebatable.

Mesut Özil
Mesut Özil is a German professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. Known for his technical skill, creativity, agility, and finesse, he earned the nickname "The Assist King" due to his playmaking abilities. Özil played for major clubs including Real Madrid and Arsenal before joining... read more
Had the highest assists in the la liga for 2011/2012, is unnoticed but plays well very efficient and consistent. Has been nominated fo Ballon d'or as well
Heart of real madrid team as well as heart of german national team!
People say that messi has xavi and iniesta, who does crz have? Well, I would have said the same a couple years back. Now, I say to people in reply, well cr7 has ozil! That makes them even in terms of getting balls. Maybe he's not the 'best ever' player, but he's one player every single coach would want in his team. Deserves to be at #3 at least.

Pele
Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known as "Pelé", was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a forward. In 1999, he was named Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee and was included in Time's list of the 100 most important people of the 20th century. In 2000, Pelé was voted... read more
There's nothing to say this guy will ALWAYS just be known as the best of the best...
Over 700 goals in his career he definitely was the best player to ever live
-
?
David Ospina
He has very good reflexes and the goal is safe all the time when he is there on the field.
-
Radamel Falcao Garcia
Radamel Falcao García Zárate, known as Radamel Falcao or simply Falcao, is a Colombian professional footballer. He plays as a striker for English club Chelsea on loan from French club Monaco. Falcao also serves as the captain of the Colombia national team.
Well This Falcao deserves at least the third please behind the two stars who's name we don't have to remember... Falcao was very important in the winning cup final of the European League Cup... He was also the man of the match in the Super Cup against Chelsea and I think most of the biggest clubs (like Chelsea) are dreaming to have him in their team... He is also important of the third please Colombia has at this moment to place themselves for the world championship 2014... So I would ask all the people who doesn't know this guy much... Follow his movements, he will become a star one day!
Radamel is very talented, he deserves a better place in this ranking, he represents the identity of the colombian people (talent, happiness and humanity) and he is considered one of the best player ever after. He demostrates his talent every time he plays in the ground. I Really admire him.
-
Franck Ribéry
Franck Henry Pierre Ribéry is a former French professional footballer who played for German club Bayern Munich. He finished third in the 2013 Ballon d'Or rankings, behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The electrifying winger secured nine Bundesliga titles and a Champions League trophy during his... read more
I don't know who set up this list, but none of the Bayern Munich players are in top 1o, which is ridiculous, as they played the best football in 2012/2013 and in my opinion Franck Ribery will/should get the Ball d Or.
Feet like hands! Smart and the best play maker in the world. One of the few players in the world who seems to get better with age.
As the commentator said during the Basel vs Bayer game. Ribery in form is too fast too strong too clever... Simply unplayable
-
Sergio Agüero
Sergio Leonel "Kun" Agüero is a former professional footballer who played as a striker for the Argentina national team and clubs such as Manchester City and FC Barcelona. He retired from football in December 2021 due to a heart condition, specifically cardiac arrhythmia, which was diagnosed after he... read more
What he should be in the top 10 this kid has something with him together with messi messi. So cute so fast cool skills he gat everything. Its just he was better of in spanish league not until he came to epl now he doesn't rock that much aguero go back to madrid where you belong
Well I think KUN is fine here in 19th (even he's my favourite player). He needs more skills and increase speed and shot power. He'll do it and beat the ever living crap out of V. Persie
One of the best soccer players yet for me and scores madly awesome and I also like his hairstyle it has great class! For me he must be 9th..
-
Luis Suárez
Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz, born on January 24, 1987, is a Uruguayan professional footballer. He currently plays as a striker for Inter Miami CF, an American club competing in Major League Soccer (MLS).
Suárez retired from international football in September 2024, concluding his tenure as Uruguay's... read more
Neymar, rooney, hernandez, torres and kaka rated ahead of suarez? What? Who ever created this has no knowledge of football. Neymar is yet unproven, dominating the brazilian league doesn't make you anywhere near the caliber of messi, let alone ronaldo. Rooney works hard, but isn't in the top 10, hernandez is used mainly as a sub, so how can he get the nod over others, such as bale? Torres is useless and a shadow of his former self at chelsea, and kaka, well kaka flopped ever since he turned his back on milan. Watch footballers play, you don't rank them for being good looking, or disciplined, you rank their player style, unlike the fool who published this.
-
Fernando Torres
Fernando Jose Torres Sanz (born 20 March 1984) is a Spanish football manager and former player who played as a striker. He's currently the manager of Atletico Madrid B. Due to his consistent goalscoring as a young player, Torres earned the nickname El Nino (The Kid), which remained with him throughout... read more
Fernando torres is the best player of all times... He's so perfect at football and so good-looking too, so sexy, so cute... Torres and messi are the best... You should be at top ten torres, no those who are in this list... Viva torres... Your fans love you very much, continue as you are... Always the best..
Fernando torres is the best of all times... So good at football, so cute, so sexy, so good-looking... He and messi are the best... You should be the second at the list... Viva torres, always will be the best... Spain will win just with torres... Love you...

Arjen Robben
Arjen Robben is a retired Dutch professional footballer who played for Bayern Munich and the Netherlands national team. He won the UEFA Champions League with Bayern Munich in 2013 and was a runner-up in the 2010 FIFA World Cup with the Netherlands. Known for his trademark move of cutting inside from... read more
Arjen Robben is the best right winger in the world 2013 and should be in the top 10.
He has some of the best dribbling and has an unbelievable fast pace. They don't call him the Flying Dutchman for nothing.
Plus he scored the deciding goal in the champions league final in the 89th minute.
He is a complete winger with a lot of pace, skill, dribble and an amazing finishing ability. Further more he scored one of the most amazing volleys ever.
His left leg shot is awesome!
Arjen Robben is very fast and scored 12 goals. Arjen missed a penalty against Petr Cech in Europa Champions League. He and Franck Ribery make a good partnership.
-
Kaká
Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, commonly known as Kaká or Ricardo Kaká, is a retired Brazilian professional footballer. He played as an attacking midfielder for clubs such as AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Orlando City, as well as the Brazil national team. His exceptional vision and passing ability earned... read more
Kaka has been the centerpiece for Brazil for many years. He was at one time during his younger days considered one of the best in football.
Kaka may not be the best player, but he is one of honest player.
He has the fatherly figure in a game termed as football...
I think Kaka should be in the top ten because he is a good team player and he shows a lot of respect to this coach and to his team members. He has an amazing talent. Once again, I think Kaka should move up to the 10th spot.
Keep playing hard Kaka!
-
Eden Hazard
Eden Michael Hazard, born January 7, 1991, is a retired Belgian professional footballer. He last played for Real Madrid CF and was the captain of the Belgium national team. Hazard officially announced his retirement from football in October 2023.
Once there was an cowboy, looking up for a duck singing and stuck in a bathroom and saying "Woke up this morning on a beach, started walking in my regular pretend. Welcome to the jungle heard. Well have a nice day and Edin Hazard! Love you, best player of all! EVER! :D You are my man, remember, I will see you in my life! You are so sexy and hot. Damn, hot for the sausages! YEA :DD
One of the Top 15 for sure. Very fast and accurrate on passes. Not afraid to go to the goal against three defenders. He can make the match decision on its own.
-
Ronaldinho
Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, born March 21, 1980, is better known by his nickname Ronaldinho or Ronaldinho Gaúcho. He is a Brazilian former professional footballer and a current ambassador for FC Barcelona.
He primarily played as an attacking midfielder but was also effective as a winger. Ronaldinho... read more
Most technically savvy player in the world. He needs to get back to football in order to re-establish his dominance in the game. In his hayday, he was simply the best I have ever seen. He has all the skills to be the best player in the world, but he has to get his mojo back!
If you see the tricks he does with the ball and how I can control any ball and place it wherever he wants you know that's he's the best.
He does better tricks then CR7 and dribbles better then cr9.
He's equal or better then messi then in passing.
And I would say this makes him.
In his 30's still top ten today
-
Didier Drogba
Didier Yves Drogba Tébily is a former Ivorian professional footballer who played as a striker and captained the Ivory Coast national team. He most famously played for English club Chelsea and won the UEFA Champions League with them in 2012, scoring the equalizer in the final and the decisive penalty... read more
It's not about being in a great team but making a team great. We saw what Drogba had accomplished. He made the impossibles happened. He is always strong and a very firm leadership. He can scores, pass, and set up. It's not easy to see a player like him whom maintain 100% fitness and ability throughout his career, being there for his country and clubs when ever they needed him. The one man that is close to it will be C Ronaldo, always there for his country and clubs.. But well.. There's still a few years to go before we can jump into any answers.
No offense... Messi is crap riding on the wind with helps of great players.. Look at how he stumbles every time he representing country. Ya. As if ball glued to his feet... And his feet glued to the ground.. Messi has done well for Barcelona.. But definitely not enough to get world best honor. In fact I think villa is much better
-
Iker Casillas
Iker Casillas Fernández is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He was nicknamed "San Iker" for his consistent ability to make crucial and spectacular saves. Casillas is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of the sport.... read more
He should be in the top ten. He deserves it. He saved Spain many times.
He is the best goalkeeper of all times!
The best goalie ever to play for Spain in my opinion. He also is the best goalie in the liga
Definitely number one. Too bad nobody ever knows anything about football. Okay, Messi and Ronaldo are also somewhere in the top 3, but the rest of the guys higher on the list? Pf...
-
David Villa
David Villa Sánchez is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a striker. He was the all-time leading scorer for the Spain national team and played a key role in winning the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the 2008 UEFA European Championship. Villa was also the first player signed by New York... read more
David villa is a great striker he can curve the ball like no one else. Skill of neymar, control of messi, speed of C. Ronaldo and he has a boot and a half. He should be in the top three.
David VILLA is a world class football player and no body is like him. He can curve the ball like mo one else. No words are needed to describe him. He is very good football player.
David Villa is an amazing finisher and better than most the footballers under him.
-
Samir Nasri
-He's the best whatever you say!
-Watch him play and you'll find out, like against Chelsea on August the 12th he scored the third goal to make them win and against Southampton (their first match in the Premier League) he scored the winning goal again to make it 3-2. If he hadn't scored then they would be 15 points behind Man you right now! So there!
Simply the best and will beat all of those players combined together
-
Philipp Lahm
Philipp Lahm, born on November 11, 1983, is a retired German professional footballer. He primarily played as a right-back but was also effective as a defensive midfielder. Lahm spent the majority of his club career at Bayern Munich, with a loan period at Stuttgart from 2003 to 2005, and he captained... read more
So only 2 of the top 30 players in the world are defenders? That's just ridiculous and this is coming from a centre forward. No team is complete without a solid backline and this guy is the best of the best. There is a reason Bayern don't concede- this man is never caught out of position and never misses a tackle. All this and I haven't even mentioned what a threat he is going forward. What an incredible work rate! Have a team made completely of Lahm and they would be a serious threat, can't say that about many players.
Have you ever seen him playing? I'm telling you. He is awesome. He never miss the ball and he can go through all the defenders of the opponent team and score but remember he is a defender. That makes it unbeliviable!
-
Julian Draxler
Should be a lot higher. Biggest talent in Germany in my opinion.
