Anyone have any opinions about some of the younger players in the cup, that are going to be superstars one day. Or just seen someone that isn't very popular, but has impressed you? We all know that Raul and Beckham are good, but I want to know about less established players.

Mine are:
Damien Duff: Rep. of Ireland (Forward)
Landon Donovan: USA (Midfield)
DeMarcus Beasley: USA (Midfield)
John O'Brian: USA (Midfield/Defence)
Miroslav Klose: Germany (Forward)
Jon Dahl Tomasson: Denmark (Forward)
Atsushi Yanagisawa: Japan (Forward)
Julius Aghahowa: Nigeria (Forward)
Papa Malick Diop: Senegal (Defence)
El Hadji Diouf: Senegal (Forward)
Papa Bouba Diop: Senagal (Midfield)

Ok so i'm sure that after this world cup there would be a lot of transfers,because now everyone can see player's quality.
I think that superstars might be someone like:
1.Klose-Germany
2.Tomasson-Danmark
3.Pape Bouba Diop-Senegal
4.Henri Camara-Senegal
5.Henrik Larsson-Sweden
6.Iker Casillas-Spain(Maybe you alredy think that he is superstar but i think that he've made a lot in this cup,more then for Real)
7.Junichi Inamoto-Japan

Yeah somehow I totally forgot about Fadiga and Coly from Senegal, and Inamoto from Japan. Joaquin impresed me a lot. All of the Germany players look good as well, but I know they are good becaus eI see them play all the time. I was suprised at how well the are all playing together.

Speaking of Landon Donovan after the loss to Germany he flew all the way back from Asia and played for his club team on Saturday night. He came on as a sub and played for the last 15 minutes, coming dirctly to the stadium after a 13 hour flight from S. Korea. He is a real nice guy too, he hung out after the game for about an hour to sign autographs and talk to fans.
