#2 The Defender Who Loves to get Forward

Dani Alves has wowed fans for a number of years. Whether it be a tantalizing, rocket of a free kick or a stupid neck warmer, Alves continues to be quite the wing back (or whatever they call that position these days). The Brazilian has spent the better part of his career plying his trade in the Spanish Primera. Following a successful stint at in his homeland, Dani ventured across the Atlantic to Sevilla and eventually found a home at his current club, Barcelona. Dani Alves is a phenomenal player, one that is truly a joy to watch. Look for him to stop the opposing attack, while marauding forward as Barcelona try to capture the league title and progress through the Champion's League.

#1 The Best Current Goalkeeper

I have a soft spot for a guy that I grew up watching between the sticks. Iker Casillas is a very polarizing figure in the football world. Some feel that he is underserving of his lofty status, however many believe he is currently the best goalkeeper in the world. Playing for the reigning World Cup champions, Iker deservedly earned the right to don the title of the world's number 1 goalkeeper.That being said, at the time of this article, his Real Madrid squad are sitting second in the league, nipping at the heals of bitter rivals Barcelona. In addition to amazing us with his ability on the field, Casillas continues to impress us off the field by consistently being linked with some of the most attractive women in the world! Iker Casillas is currently the best on the globe and at the tender age of 29, he will surely continue to be an elite shot stopper well into the future.
