North America --> Suazo of Honduras plays for Cagliari

Honduras is not North America, it's Central America... Continent-wise speaking there is only "America"... If you want to disect America, then there is North America, South America, Central America and Insular America!

And also Australia is not a continent, is a country that is located in the Oceania continent!

Anyways...

North America - Dawson Rosario
Central America - Dos Santos (Don't hate!)
South America - Ronaldinho
Europe - Ronaldo

Actually, I had considered CONCACAF in my picks, therefore picking up Central America (and Wanchope isn't far down on my list, just didn't make the top). Oceana (sp?) effectively does the same, in the event someone's favorite was from New Zealand, Solomon Islands, etc.. that does NOT, however, mean that Australia isn't a continent, as an earlier post claimed. :rolleyes:

that does NOT, however, mean that Australia isn't a continent, as an earlier post claimed. :rolleyes:

The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) is one of six association football (soccer) confederations under the auspices of FIFA, the international governing body of the sport. The OFC is the only confederation without an automatic qualification to the World Cup Finals. Currently the winner of the OFC must play-off against an Asian confederation side.

Oceania has only been represented at three World Cup Finals - Australia in 1974, New Zealand in 1982 and Australia in 2006. However, Australia is now no longer a member of the Oceania Football Confederation, having joined the Asian Football Confederation in 2006.

Australia being a continent is taught in USA & maybe Canadian schools only.

Oceania - Karembeu
Asia - Nakamura
North America - John Harkes
South America - Eder
Europe - Schuster
Africa - Jay-Jay Okocha

Oceania - Harry Kewell - was a genuinely great player for a year or two at Leeds. Amazing skill but has subsequently shown himself not to have my=uch heart.
Asia - Nakata, skillfull player and the first Japanese player I recall making any sort of impact in Europe.
North America - Brad Freidel - has put in some of the best individual goalkeeping performances for Blackburn that I've ever seen.
South America - Enzo Francescoli - skill and grace under pressure
Europe - Cruyff - the greatest of all time in my opinion
Africa - Jay-Jay Okocha - tremendous skill and imagination.

For today it would be:
Asia - Nakamura.
North America - Brian McBride - not that great but a really honest player - brave and gives 100%.
South America - Tevez - I know he is not the best Latin American at the moment but I was very impressed at the way he pulled West Ham through such a mess. He was the opnly one trying at one point.
Europe - Henry. I can't stand his arrogance and self-regarding "serious" goal celebrations, but he is an unbelievable striker.
Africa - Essien - good player

And also Australia is not a continent, is a country that is located in the Oceania continent!Oceania is NOT a continent in a geographic sense. It's a FIFA Confederation (region), created to group some Pacific countries' individual national football federations for FIFA's purposes. The IOC also uses the term "Oceania" for their convenience.

Geographically Australia is acknowledged as (singularly) both a country and a continent.The only debate about "continents" amongst geographers is whether America is one or two continents (North & South). I've always been taught and understood there to be one America (geographically), but with two parts to it (North & South).
