The best football freestyler on this list perfects some of the hardest soccer tricks to learn and he has an excellent shot. He played with Barcelona until he recently got transferred to AC Milan. His Barcelona career included a Champions League title in 2005-2006 and 92 goals and 200 appearances. What will AC Milan have in store for him!

 

2. Fernando Torres

Fernando scored the winning goal for Spain in the Euro 2008 final against Germany for a 1-0 victory. I think he is the currently the fastest footballer playing. He also has been playing for Liverpool since 2007. He is a striker and it shows, he has scored 33 goals in 46 games which is a season any other striker would ask for.

 

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

Yes, people say he is a cry baby. Yes, people say he is a diver. But, yes, he is a great football icon throughout the world.

The key word for this guy is "improvise" with his tricks he makes defenders lunge in to a direction then goes the other way and he makes it all up on the go like many soccer players do, but Cristiano takes it to the next level.

His team, Manchester United, won the Champions League against Chelsea in a shoot-out. His international team, Portugal, was a tournament favorite in Euro 2008 but couldn't take it past Germany in the semi finals.

 

In the future I think that Lionel Messi might be #1 or maybe even Anderson of Manchester United who is a young up-and-coming star.

But how will we know, we will have to just wait.
