With soccer being a world wide phenomenon and being played in so many places around the world, it is hard to find one player who is the best and stands out above the rest. The European countries that are involved in the world’s best leagues often are home to the worlds best players. Right now, there is a pretty consensual number one player in the world, few others have even been considered on the same level as the Barcelona striker Lionel Messi.

Entering professional soccer at age 14, he was the best player in the Barcelona youth camp and since then he has broken multiple records and has held multiple trophies.The full explanation can be found at http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/587/copa-america/2011/07/11/2571087/argentinas-sergio-batista-praises-fantastic-lionel-messi The 24 year old Argentine received multiple FIFA player of the year nominations by age 21 and has won three straight. At his young age, he has already won 5 Spanish League Titles, 3 UEFA Champions League Titles along with countless amounts of award nominations. He has scored more goals in the UEFA Champions League in the past 3 seasons than any other player.

The list goes on and on about Lionel Messi, considered by many to be the best player to ever touch the pitch. Barcelona was lucky to find him and he is contracted to stay there until at least 2014.

Simple explanations for most common soccer penalties:
No hands: Only the goal keeper can use his/her hands while in the penalty box.
Indirect kick: Contact must be made with the ball before entering the net.
A Penalty Kick: A one-on-one battle between the goalie and one player. All other players must remain out of the penalty box until the ball is kicked.
Goal kick: All offensive players must be out of the area until the ball is kicked and leaves the penalty area.
Throw-ins: Player must stand with both feet on the ground and both hands on the ball and throw the ball over the head into the playing field. Another player must make contact with the ball first or it will be a two touch foul.
Offsides: The offensive player passes the defender closet to goal keeper without possession of the ball.
Foul: Deliberately breaking the rules or intentionally trying to harm or prevent another player from playing the game.
Misconduct: Blatant unsportsmanlike conduct. A yellow card is a warning. Two yellow cards equal a red card. With a red card, player is ejected from the game and the team must play one player short for each red card.

Throughout the world, soccer is the only sport that is played everywhere. It has been known as the world’s game and for the team that is crowned as world’s best, that is quite an accomplishment. For a long time, teams out of England were consistently the world’s consensual number one team but it appears as if times are indeed changing.

Looking at soccer as a whole right now, there is one team that stands out above the rest and ironically it is not a team coming out of England, France or Italy but rather coming out of Spain.The whole story can be found at http://bleacherreport.com/articles/763097-five-reasons-why-real-madrids-jos-mourinho-does-not-have-fc-barcelonas-numbe In the 2010-2011 season, Barcelona captured two of the three possible trophies and dominated their league play throughout the year. They won the Spanish League title and then went on to win the most prestigious club trophy in the world, the UEFA Cup. The only trophy they failed to win was the Copa Del Rey but the week after losing in that game, Barcelona dominated Real Madrid and knocked them out the of the UEFA Cup. With players like Lionel Messi, Dani Alves, Xavi Alonso, David Villa and a manager in Pep Guardiola, Barcelona is going to be at the top of the world for years to come.
