22 year old Gervinho is already considered one of the star strikers at the Ligue 1, where he plays as a foreword for Lille. He is also captain of the Ivory Coast Olympic team and was just added to the national Ivory Coast roster for the World Cup. Many consider him to be Didier Drogba's heir.
Romelu Lukaku is only 16, but that didn't stop him from starring on the Belgian league playing for Anderlecht, and scoring against such big teams as Ajax at the EUFA league. He's been said to be on Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Milan's watchlist.
Italian teen Davide Santon has already been compared to Paulo Maldini. At 18, he's probably the best young attacking right defender in the country, and already plays for Inter, and on the national Italy squad.
17 year old Iker Muniain plays as a forward for Athletic Bilbao. He's the youngest player ever to score a goal in a first division match in La Liga, at 16. He also plays for the U17 Spanish team.
World champion Italy had to try hard to earn a goal against Paraguay for a draw to save their crown after Paraguay's early lead within 39 minutes. Although Italy has avoided losing in the first game of a World Cup since 2004 in New York after losing to the Republic of Ireland, this was very close to it, even if it managed a draw. However, it was not a reassuring performance.
