UFL Rant N Rave Top 3: Best Foreign Players

UFL's First Division has tons of foreign talents - over 70 of them. They elevate the brand of play of our locals and give our league new flavor. Regardless of the quantity, we picked a few with the best quality in the current season (2011-12). Here's our new Top 3 list:
Eric Dagroh - We call him "The Dagger" and he liked it. Eric may just be Kaya's quickest attacker, constantly making those powerful runs & cuts inside the box. This 22 year-old Ivorian striker, was an important cog in Kaya's run to the UFL Cup semifinals last year. His minutes may be reduced this term, with the inclusion of fellow forwards Beloya and Kigbu, to Kaya's attacking options.
Izo El-Habbib - The Sudanese target man and former Kaya FC standout has always been there among the scoring leaders in league & cup competitions for the past few years. It's his size and technical ability that have given opposing defenders massive headaches. He is undoubtedly the heart of the Global offense and perhaps the best foreign talent in the early years of the league.
Lee Joo Young - He shoots, he SoKors! Trying to make a statement as the new best foreigner is Stallion's out-and-out striker from South Korea. He is arguably the league's best player as of late, contributing hugely to the Stallion's amazing division one debut & leading everyone in goal-scoring. Perhaps the club's most important asset is so in-form this season, that he deserves a cool nickname from the TV commentators: 'K-Pow'?, 'SK-47'?, 'Korean Magician'?, 'SoKoring Machine'?

I like how you force nicknames on Players. It's pathetic. and It's a reeks of a very north American boxing mentality.

I own up to my words. It's my opinion.

Yes, but posting the same thing twice? Reeks of a very North American style arrogance.

Nice blog, a request, how about making it top 5 instead of just 3?
