World Cup superstars

Lionel Messi in action for Argentina against Germany earlier this year. The 22-year-old forward is widely regarded as the best player in the world. He is almost unstoppable with the ball and after a sensational season for his club Barcelona in which he scored 47 goals, great things are expected of him this summer. Argentina are now managed by Maradona, and Messi could prove himself to be the great man's equal in South Africa.
