There has been no shortage of players billed as Diego Maradona's successor, yet few, if any, have borne that burden with the aplomb of Lionel Messi.

A veritable colossus of French football, Thierry Henry's achievements read like an extract from the Guinness Book of Records. World champion, European champion and France's all-time leading goalscorer – and those are just a few of the high-profile Frenchman's exploits. Long before being crowned the unofficial King of France, Henry was no different from any other child his age, except perhaps for his seemingly innate eye for goal. While playing for his local youth team near Paris, he was spotted by a Monaco scout, amazed at having witnessed six goals being scored by a player. Aware of the rough diamond that had begun to shine at their club, the Monaco players took the new recruit under their wing. By the age of just 17, Henry was already playing in French football's top tier.

Tim Cahill

Date of Birth: 6 December 1979

Height: 180 cm

Position: Forward

Country: Australia

Australian strongman Tim Cahill, the hero of Australia's 2006 World Cup campaign, was reduced to tears when he was sent off the field this Sunday with a straight red card in the 56th minute against Germany. He now misses the must-win match against Ghana. Undoubtedly the Socceroos' talisman, Cahill has invariably delivered when it matters most. Despite his modest height, the 30-year-old is renowned for an impressive heading ability and remarkable vertical leap, which allows him to invariably overcome the tallest of opponent. He was Australia's top-scorer in qualifying for the 2010 FIFA World Cup bagging four goals in just six matches.

Frank Lampard

Date of Birth: 20 June 1978

Height: 183 cm

Shirt number: 8

Position: Midfielder

Country: England

Frank Lampard has rightly earned a reputation as one of the world's finest goalscoring midfielders and he will be determined to underline just why at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Unlike in 2006 when he didn't find the net in five world cup games, Frank goes into this year's tournament in red-hot scoring form, even by his own extraordinary standards. This is Frank's second World Cup and a memorable tournament will go a long way to cementing his place among the great players. There is no secret to Lampard's success. He owes his fitness levels to years of hard work that began in boyhood, when his father, former West Ham United defender Frank Lampard Sr. taught him the habit of extra running sessions, or ‘spikes', each day to improve his speed and stamina

Fabio Cannavaro

Date of Birth: 13 September 1973

Height: 175 cm

Shirt number: 5

Position: Defender

Country: Italy

FIFA World Cup winning captain Cannavaro lamented his side's failure to take three points in the game against Paraguay recently but praised their character in coming from behind to draw 1-1. Fabio Cannavaro is a worthy successor to the country's dynasty of great defenders, acquiring hero status in a land where making a perfect tackle is accorded the same importance as a spectacular volley. Realising that the skills of dribbling and scoring goals were beyond him, Cannavaro honed his defensive attributes in the streets of the working-class Naples suburb of Fuorigrotta, overlooked by the Stadio San Paolo. Those makeshift games, played with dustbin bags for goals, served him well, and over the course of nearly 500 Serie A matches and 100 Liga outings, he has perfected the sliding tackle and the art of anticipation, dominating the penalty box with his sheer physical presence

Christiano Ronaldo

Date of Birth: 5 February 1985

Height: 185 cm

Shirt number: 7

Position: Forward

Country: Portugal

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo turns the beautiful game into child's play. As Brazil's legendary FIFA World Cup-winning midfielder Didi once said: “If we don't treat the ball with love, she won't do what we want her to do.” Perhaps more than any other player of the modern era, Real Madrid's flying winger seems to maintain that wide-eyed innocence on the field that makes every dazzling dribble and every penetrating pass feel like the very first. And such is his artistry that, almost magnetically, the ball returns to his feet time and time again, ready for the next touch of genius. From his early days with local club Andorinha, where his father was kit man, it was clear that the young Cristiano was destined for greatness. After a short stint with Nacional, he left Madeira to follow his dream and, as it has turned out, to become one of the greatest players in the world.
