1. Messi (Argentina)
2. Neymar (Brazil)
3. Hazard (Belgium)
4. C. Ronaldo (Portugal)
5. Greizmann (France)
8. Kroos (Germany)
9. Suarez (Uruguay)
10. Herrera* (Mexico)
* It can be successfully argued that James and Falcao of Colombia (and even Corona of Mexico) are better individual talents than Herrera, but they are not better organizational passers, which is what this list needed. Not a big goalscorer, like Kroos, Herrera does all the brilliant subtle things that make his team tick.
