It would be a crime not to mention some standout players who have been an inspiration to soccer enthusiasts around the world.

How do you recount events that eventually led to Argentina’s World Cup win and the climax of a tournament that will have the name Lionel Messi attached to it forever? Messi will always be in any conversation about the greatest, and the fact he now has the biggest honour the global game has to offer makes for a more powerful discussion as to his merits.
