2010 FIFA World Cup: Top 10 B/R Lists for This World Cup

With the World Cup less than a week away, I thought it would be a great time to look back at some of the great, the good, and the not so good fluff pieces that have been published in the run up to the big kickoff.

Did I pick your favorite list article or was I totally off the mark with my top ten picks?

No. 10: The Long and the Short Of It

This was one of my personal favorites. It demonstrated some of the extremes of this year's tournament.

No. 9: Which Player Has The Best Hair?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/397650-2010-fifa-world-cup-which-player-has-the-best-hair

David Struhs made a hit and miss article with these hit and miss haircuts. It looks like David wants to do a hatchet job on some players, "syrup of figs" with his selections.

No. 8: Solid Rock: The 10 Best Defenders at the 2010 FIFA World Cup

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/402037-solid-rock-the-10-best-defenders-at-the-2010-fifa-world-cup

Kelvin Osuoji did a great job with his top defenders at this year's World Cup.

No. 7: Stadiums in the Sand

Jon Sainz takes a sideways glance at this year's World Cup stadium with his satirical "Stadiums in the Sand."

No. 6: The World Cup's Best XI under 21

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/402024-the-world-cups-best-xi-under-21

Chris Ison's look at the best Under 21's playing at this World Cup is worth a second look.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/369558-every-jersey-for-world-cup-2010-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly

One of the big hits on the read front, this one. Willie Gannon, one of the elder statesman of the B/R World Football section really racked up the reads with this comical look at the tournament's team shirts.

No. 4: Who Will Be the New Big Star

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/401593-world-cup-2010-who-will-be-the-the-new-big-star-after-the-cup

Ayush Pathak took a look at who will be the "Next Big Star" after the tournament with a bunch of players that were for the most part already pretty big fish.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/401566-2010-fifa-world-cup-comparing-the-32-countries-to-the-32-nfl-teams

This one was a huge hit for Eric Gomez, especially with the American sports fans who don't know enough about the beautiful game.

No. 2: 2010 FIFA World Cup Previews and Predictions: Golden Boot Dark Horses

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/399752-2010-world-cup-previews-and-predictions-golden-boot-dark-horses

B/R Rookie, Colm Larkin, has done a fantastic job looking at who from the outside chances can be the coveted "Golden Boot" for the 2010 World Cup.
