Pogba
Vidal
Sanchez
Bale
Did El Hadji Diouf do well in this after his performances in 2002 World Cup for Senegal?
He did well, but not good enough. He came in 22nd behind Papa Bouba Diop and in front of Rio Ferdinand that year. You are on the right path with Diouf though. A few players got into the top 10 based on performances at international tournaments or international club tournaments.
De Bruyne for this year.
Drogba
Alonso
Puyol
Totti

I'm going to punt for Fabregas for 2007.
2002 is probably a Korean. 2004 is probably a Greek.
Zagorakis surely?
Greece scored about three goals that whole tournament, it won't be a forward if it is one of them. Who was that little midgety bloke in midfield for them?
Zambrotta
4 players left from 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2010. Nations include Germany, Portugal, Italy and Turkey.
