Apart from the great matches are the 2010 World Cup players to watch from among the 32 qualifying teams which excite the football fans worldwide. Even before the Cup opened, a lot of comments and predictions on which World Cup players to watch have been made. The players listed below are the ones who might end up as heroes of their national teams.
Mesut Oezil (Germany) - It is not an overstatement to say that the German playmaker has the ability to be as good as the very best. Being able to contribute a total of 19 assists in the Bundesliga last season, Oezil is definitely one of the World Cup players to watch without fail.
Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite a.k.a. Kaka (Brazil)- Beginning his football career at the age of eight, it is of no doubt that this 22 year old player has the skills in grabbing the sixth World Cup title for Brazil. Being a dynamic playmaker, he definitely oozes with talent and his connection with co-player Fabiano should be watched out for.
Iker Casillas Fernandez (Spain) - As Spain's goalkeeper and captain, he is good in distributing the ball and undeniably confident fitting in his country's philosophy in positive football-ing.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) - As the highest paid football player in the history of soccer, Ronaldo is the super athlete that can strike the ball that no one can match. Portugal may or may not grab this Cup's title, but Ronaldo will not allow a defeat with no great amount of fight.
Gonzalo Higuain (Argentina) - Considered as Argentina's most potent striker, he is surely to be one of the World Cup players to watch. Scoring a total of 25 goals in the last 28 games this season, he is indeed an integral part of the team.
Apart from these five players comes Lionel Messi from Argentina who is considered as the number one football player in the world. Whether or not he'll carry Argentina to the top, he along with the other featured World Cup players are definitely the ones to watch until the finals in July 11 in Johannesburg.
