Top 10 Overrated Players in the World Cup

[zimmie4444]

1: Ronaldinho - Was no where to be seen at all. Worlds Best Player my a***.

 

2: Frank Lampard - Worlds second best player my a***. Didn't score at all, not even on a peno.

 

3: Zlatan Ibrahimovic - My god, how Juve paid 30 mil for that is a mysteri.

 

4: The whole Serbian defense. They only conceded once in the qualification.

 

5: Landon Donovan - former young player of the tournament and FIFA rankings second best teams star man. Fluked big time.'

 

6: Pavel Nedved - Zidane amongst others showed that aging dosen't take away your star"ness" Nedved couldn't keep his up.

 

7: Fernando Torres - Funny cus yes he scored three, but fukin ell he missed a s***load of chances

 

8: Cafu and Carlos. Why oh why do they insist on playing them?

 

9: Andriy Shevchencko - Although I believe he will get 40 goals next season, he was not at all at his best this time around.

 

10: Klasnic - Scoring machine in Werder. Didn't get it right as well....

Or something. The whole point with this was just that Ronaldinho is overrated, and just dancing around with no purpose does not win me over.

 

Very harsh on Cafu and Nedved tbh. But apart from that, I'd agree, although I'm not sure Klasnic and Donovan were ever taken seriously in the first place, outside their own countries. Id also add Beckham (of course) and Deco to that list.

It has to be Walcott, what the f*** did he do after all the hype beforehand ?

[Earl Hafler]

W*nk Lampard.

 

Allegedly the second best player in the world yet couldn't hit water if he was standing on a boat. Why in fuvking Gods name do you allow the worst player on the pitch to take corners or freekicks ?

 

And Owen Hargreaves well done lad.

I should have stopped reading at this point...stunned

 

3: Zlatan Ibrahimovic - My god, how Juve paid 30 mil for that is a mysteri.

 

They didn't

 

4: The whole Serbian defense. They only conceded once in the qualification.

 

Their best defender missed the whole tournament

 

5: Landon Donovan - former young player of the tournament and FIFA rankings second best teams star man. Fluked big time.'

 

He's not rated at all though, how can he qualify as overrated

 

6: Pavel Nedved - Zidane amongst others showed that aging dosen't take away your star"ness" Nedved couldn't keep his up.

 

rubbish

 

8: Cafu and Carlos. Why oh why do they insist on playing them?

 

Who else would you suggest? All other brazilian full-backs play like them too. Cafu is still class too.

 

9: Andriy Shevchencko - Although I believe he will get 40 goals next season, he was not at all at his best this time around.

 

He plays for a s**** international team,

 

10: Klasnic - Scoring machine in Werder. Didn't get it right as well....

Or something. The whole point with this was just that Ronaldinho is overrated, and just dancing around with no purpose does not win me over.

 

Again in order to be overrated you have to first be rated.

[Rimbeux]

Lampard

Beckham

Adriano

Puyol

[Andy @ Allerton]

Rooney has to be in there - hyped to death - sent off for being an a***.

 

Couldn't fulfil the roles he was given.

 

Played poorly throughout.

[cestrianred]

Lampard

Beckham

Totti (as all his life)

Shevchenko

Raul

Ibrahimovic (as all his life)

4 Others!

[alext]

Puyol should be in there.

 

He's been a liability everytime I have seen him.

 

Rich man's Josemi.

[Maldini]

Puyol's a fantastic defender

[Rimbeux]

Puyol's a fantastic defender

 

I think he's good at recovering, and getting himself out of trouble, but I think his own lapses in judgement get him there in the first place

[Bjarkinn]

Totti (as all his life)

Ibrahimovic (as all his life)

 

 

 

you gotta be joking

[Benzo-13]

Agree, he totally stank the last two Spanish games. Had a bad World Cup I thought.

He's Catalan though so why would he care?

Whilst Ronaldinho is without doubt one of the best players in the world, he's been average at best this world cup.

 

Been played too deep in my view but he's been very disappointing.

not his fault though really. parreira's insistence on playing the big four names f***ed brasil up this tournament.

[aka Dus]

Also, Perhaps the fact that Nike are riding the CBF rock soild and the Brazil team have not had a meaningful break in over two years is contributing to their 'laziness'.

 

Ronaldhino has played near constantly for Brazil for over two years: from the copa america, the confederations cup, this world cup, a prolonged run in the Champions league and tow tough league campaigns coupled with Nike's stupid policy of having Brazil play stupid meaningless friendies across the world with consistantly full strength teams.

Bit like SGE and England really.

 

And Lampard was the most overhyped and overrated player on show.

[Bailo]

Not saying his was highly rated, but I thought Karimi of Iran was meant to be something special, having played well at Bayern - nothing. Also thought Borghetti showed his Prem form rather than Mexico form.

Be that as it may....

[Stevie H]

Be that as it may....

he's had a poor world cup, yeah.

 

best players of the world cup by the time it finishes : zidane, cannavarro, ribery, klose, lahm, lehmann, miguel, maybe vieira.

 

young player of the world cup : ribery.

[Ronnie Whelan]

Inspired by another thread:

 

 

Emerson.

[Stevie H]

Apart from those already mentioned ....

 

Owen (so bad that when someone says "Owen" now, you think of Hargreaves before Michael).

Downing did nothing when he was on the pitch.

Zurawski

Simao

Del Piero

 

.. and Pirlo, for me, has been dissapointing.

 

i think simao's looked alright. pirlo's been ok too.

 

bit harsh on downing too as not much was really expected of him.
