List Post of Great Soccer Players

Soccer has been player for many decades across the world. It is something that everyone can relate too and is such an easy game to pick-up. Whether it is with a bunch of friends, or playing on a club team, the game of soccer can be viewed as a global icon. I have watched and played soccer for most of my life and I have noted some of what I consider to be the best players in the world. Here is my list of the greatest soccer players:

1. Pele

Edison "Edson" Arantes do Nascimento (nicknamed Pele) was one of the top Brazilian players of all time. He had a career total of 760 goals in 541 matches, making him the top goal scorer of all time.

2. Zidane

Zinedine Yazid Zidane is one of the soccer greats. He helped his teams win the World Cup in 1988 and the European Cup in 2000. He is also noted for being a recipient three times as FIFA World Player of the Year winner. Zidane won the Golden Ball as the MVP in the World Cups of 1998 and 2006. He was seen as a foul player when he seen head butting another player on the pitch at was ejected from the game.

3. C. Ronaldo

He is probably my favorite soccer player to watch. Starting in Manchester United, he now plays for Real Madrid as a forward, and currently the highest paid player in the world. His speed and quick footwork make him a force to be reckoned with.

4. David Beckham

Most Americans can think of this player as one of the all-time soccer greats, but that is only because of his coverage as a MLS soccer player. This English soccer player started in Manchester United and now plays for the LA Galaxy. He is known for his exceptional skill of curving the soccer ball.
