These might not be ranked in the order that most people might make them but here are the players I’m looking forward to watching the most at this summer’s World Cup.

  1. Didier Drogba – He is a monster! Strong in the air.  Sets others up, and has decent speed.  Drogs will have at least 3 goals and continue his goal scoring form from the Barclay’s Premier League.
  2. Cristiano Ronaldo – He’s a little too pretty for my taste, but his foot skills are incredibly quick.
  3. Lionel Messi – He was voted the best player in the world for a reason but the only there may only be one thing to watch with the train wreck that is Argentina
  4. Tim Howard – I imagine the USA keeper will be seeing plenty of work.
  5. Michael Essien – He’s been out of action for a while it will be interesting to see what he can do for Ghana
  6. Fernando Torres – He may win the Golden Boot playing for high powered Spain
  7. Landon Donovan – There’s gotta be someone to cheer for from the U.S.
  8. Kaka – highly skilled and highly amazing! Hope the injuries don’t hinder him
  9. Arjen Robben – his strikes in the Champions League were killer, look for one in the World Cup!
  10. Giuseppe Rossi – not even a starter probably, but could have been playing for the U.S. Let’s see what we missed out on
  11. Frank Ribery – seems to be a mess at times but not when he is playing soccer.

Sorry Wayne Rooney I just don’t expect much but  I would love to see England do well after the U.S. beats them (unlikely).  Honorable Mention to Miroslav Klose I imagine he’ll find a way to score again. Who are your players you can’t wait to watch.  Feel free to leave a comment.
