I think Diego Forlan has been fantastic. I'm not a big fan of his, never been, but he has been a great leader for Uruguay. He had to be dropped back a bit as their midfield lacks creativity and he's playing somehow as an attacking midfielder, but he's doing a good job there.
Also from Uruguay, I'd say their fullbacks are impressive - Maxi Pereira and Fucile.
From Brazil, our CB partnership (Lucio & Juan) is second to none. Maicon is absolutely fantastic, his runs on the right side always turn into something special - he's on great, great form. Gilberto Silva is proving his critics wrong too, it's obvious that he's past his best but he's still a very good defensive midfielder, very important to our system. Upfront, there's Luis Fabiano who is an amazing finisher, his record for the national team is incredible (28 goals in 42 games).
