That doesn't really hold up as you see Henry at number 28 and Gerrard ahead of the likes of Fabregas. If that was the idea, it's well off the mark. Possibly trying to combine a bit of both ideas. ie. players who've done it all on the world stage and those who can potentially be big stars. Seems to fall between two stools in that respect. But Hell, subjective lists are always going to get an argument. That's part of the fun.there's a fair amount of players on that list with no national appearances.... so i'd think this is more about what to expect this year rather than based on years past.
and i said this in the sir donovan thread, but i think donovan's only on there as a bone thrown to US fans. although i will say the dude has 42 goals in internationals, which is more than many of the other mids & strikers listed.
Like I said. Lists are fun. Though I can't see Henry making much of a splash unless it's with his handIn fairness, what's not to say that someone that has done it before can do it again? (i.e. you could have been great in the past, and still be someone to "watch". Conversely, you could be new to the international stage, and be expected to make a "splash".)
I think it goes without saying that holds true for both.
Plus it's just an opinion piece by one guy. I think people take these things too seriously.
