HEADING SKILLS
Didier Drogba
Ivory Coast
His ability to attack the ball on corner kicks makes Drogba a defense’s Public Enemy No. 1 in the box.
VISION
Ronaldinho
Brazil
Keeps his head up while dribbling through opponents, making his passes between defenders impossible to stop.
LEFT FOOT
Roberto Carlos
Brazil
Carlos leaves goalkeepers watching and wondering as his dead-on free kicks strike the back of the net.
UPPER BODY
Oguchi Onyewu
United States
The rock in the U.S. backline is built like, well, The Rock.
STAMINA
Park Ji-Sung
South Korea
Among some of the most fit athletes in the world, he’s known as “Three-Lung Park.” Even they get tired from chasing him.
SPEED
Thierry Henry
France
If it weren’t for his commercials, defenders wouldn’t know what Henry looks like. All they see is his back.
RIGHT FOOT
David Beckham
England
If the English would put down the gossip and read the sports, they’d realize Becks can still bend it like no other.
