Ill get gunned down but its my opinion and i dont really care.

Top 4 players at the moment

1. Iniesta
2. RVP
3. Lionel Messi
4 Cristiano Ronaldo

SPOT ON!



You are gonna get gunned down. 


RVP better than Messi 

RVP had a good season there's no doubt (probably something to do with not getting crocked for the first time in a long while if ever) but to place him higher than Messi and as much as it pains me to say it the Grease Ball that is Ronaldo

Goalscoring wise RVP (52 goals 2011/12*) is blown clean out of the water by both Messi (70 goals 2011/12*) and the Greasy One (64 goals 2011/12*).
*All competitions - Club & Country (ESPN Soccernet)

RVP was undoubtedly Arsenal's saviour last season and along with Spuds capitulation was the main reason for getting Arsenal in to the Champions league. But for me it still doesn't compare to what Messi and Greasy achieved, the pair of them went on to the pitch and more often than not single handedly destroyed teams in the league and in Messi's case the champions league as well.

Personally my order would be (whether you care or not):-

1.Messi

2.Iniesta

3.Grease Ball

4.RVP

I will agree that at the moment RVP is up there as one of the best players in the world at the moment and it's no wonder his signature is being sought by the top teams but there are still better players about than him. But like you that's just my opinion.

I don't think Id have RVP on my list of top footballers at all.  He's obviously had a very good season but was pretty awful for Holland in this tournament.

I think players like Alonso, Xavi and Pirlo are terribly underrated.

Iniesta is better than Ronaldo and he is also better than Messi.

Iniesta better than Messi? lol, based on what? Messi scored 82 goals for club and country in one full season smashing Pele's record of 75. Since 2011, Messi int record is 11 assists, 11 goals in 16 appearances.

Funny how most pundits and writers who say spain are boring want their team to play the same way

Balotelli's finish for the second was a hammer.

Deserved win for Italy, Germany's defence is awful.

Pirlo is player of the tournament so far

Didn't think Pirlo had it in him but my goodness.. What a player.  If he retires from internationals after this, it would be a great way to go out.  Definitely been the best player so far.

Now compare the amount of tackles messi has had compared to the amount scott parker has had and say PArker is a better player.

Iniesta Makes Messis Goals himself and xavi anialate midfields then put them on a plate for him. Granted a few of his goals are wonderful but not that many
