With the World Cup kicking off in 12 days, here begins a series of features of the best left footers to watch for. Here are the top three.
Arjen Robben: The winger made his name with a wonder strike in the Champions League for Bayern Munich against ManU. Shackling him in the final was a priority for Mourinho, as his surging runs and trickery can handcuff a defensive line. Robben is Dutch for seal, and he sometimes looks like a seal when he dives. One of the most annoying players in the game, his smirk when a trick comes off drives defenders batty.
Sulley Muntari: A newly crowned king of Europe, the Inter man is looking to crown himself king of the world with Ghana. His prompting and combativeness make him a very useful engine for any midfield. With the ball his passing can be sublime, without it he is a harrier of the first order. A deadly free kick taker and excellent crosser, his form will be critical to the Black Stars.
Lionel Messi: Not a pure left footer but his contribution with that peg can be exquisite. As with any great two-footed talent it his left that produces the most sublime moments.
