sports injuries

Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano are among the top 100 players in the world, according to Four Four Two.
The magazine reckons El Nino is the third best footballer on the planet behind Lionel Messi and first-placed Cristiano Ronaldo.

Gerrard is apparently 10th, while Mascherano makes it in at 35.

Some of the stranger selections include Iker Casillas at number four when Pepe Reina doesn't even make the top 100. Other goalkeepers chosen include Petr Cech and Arthur Boruc.

Xabi Alonso is also unlucky not to make the list considering fringe Spanish internationals Diego Capel and Santi Cazorla are there.


Here's the top 10:

1. Cristiano Ronaldo
2. Lionel Messi
3. Fernando Torres
4. Iker Casilles
5. Kaka
6. David Villa
7. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
8. Sergio Aguero
9. Rio Ferdinand
10. Steven Gerrard
