Something of a back page writer so a few words on the much debated subject of Sport with specific reference to /
football/
I steady up as I go along the streets of Southampton on Saturday morning and the buses and cars plus all traffic ground to a standstill as the
Football Fans arrived in large numbers surrounded by the long arm of the law ..... something in the air is/was "Football" so fortunately I caught the bus No 7 back and now I got a blog on Eurosport ... so its all here.
Eurosport have issued a list of the Top 50 Best Football
Players in the World ... for the Summer of 2009 (reminds me of the selection of poets for the job Of Laureate)but let me continue to include:
1: Lionel Messi - Argentina:
2: Cristiano Ronaldo - Portugal
3. Fernando Torres - Spain
4. Xavi - Spain
5. Steven Gerrard - England
6. Kaka - Brazil
7. Michael Essien - Ghana
8. Andrei Arshavin - Russia
9. Wayne Rooney - England
10. Ziatan Ibahimovic - Sweden
Players who missed outside this list are mentioned and included also and its a very long list but a prominent football player who missed out with all the others is David Beckham.
So it seems they have to work hard to get in the Top 50 Top Players in the World of Sport/soccer - football! Nice work! Narrowly missing out can be a bad habit so its good too that I have not missed out and I am in the Top Ten European Poets in E.U.Munich, Germany but oddly enough I didnt know they were /listing/ - I am No 4 ....
