rodriguez without a doubt.
kuyt for his versatility and professionalism.
messi has to get a mention because he adapted to being a marked man really well. he was a distraction and extremely patient. he threw teams all over the pitch as they darted to shut him down and he used that to release his companions. the best example was lavezzi on the left against holland about to pass to messi, once two dutch players darted towards messi, they opened up space for lavezzi to freely enter the box.
great to see rafa's picks doing well and playing key roles in their international teams.
alonso, mascherano, kuyt and maxi still going strong ... we were lucky to have had all of these guys playing together for us.
of the managers, joachim low was outstanding as were the argentina and to a lesser extent, dutch manager.
