re: ESPNFC: The Top 40 Players of Euro 2012

Pretty simple commentary but a good list nonetheless. This is perhaps the first player ranking list that I've read, that lists Iniesta ahead of Xavi.

I've always thought Iniesta was a better player.

Any list that ranks Strikers vs CBs vs GKs is about as random as you can get by nature.

However, I agree that the list is pretty good as far getting pictures and little write ups of most of best 40 players, even if the 1-40 rankings mean little.

I would like to a see a list of "40 players you may not know that well because they don't play for one of the superpowers but who are nipping at the heels of these players."

By the way, of course, my opinion is that Pirlo is better than Xavi but both are arguably more valuable to their respective teams than any other player on the list.
