De lead post ask which PLAYER was de biggest disappointment and I seein all kinda talks bout unbalanced media coverage, fifa officials, and unbalanced england expectations.
1 - Robinho - hasn't done a thing yet
2 - Cristiano Ronaldo - maybe unfair as it's difficult to shine when the opposition not named North Korea knows you're the ONLY scoring threat
3 - Josey Altidore & Clint Dempsey - came with big hype and ended with no delivery
4 - Nicholas Anelka - Straight up Flopped
5 - Samuel Eto'o - Did nothing
Honourable Mention - Yohann Gourcuff - really thought this was his stage to shine. Reading what went on behind the scenes, perhaps not surprising he had a really awful first game
Palos I respectfully disagree with a bunch of these brodda.
1. Robinho has looked the livliest of the Brazilian attackers at times, particularly in game 1.
2. CR7 has two MOM awards and is clearly the deadliest man on the pitch
3. Jozy was the US' biggest threat and Dempsey earned their penalty with a nice lil nutmeg.
4. Agree
5. The guy I htink scored 2 goals. Can't be considered a flop with 2 goals in 3 games.
Rooney with zero impact or goals in 4 games is much more justifiable.
Respeck bro.
I have high expectations of Robinho and to me he hasn't done anything anywhere close to his abilities IMO
Me eh know who givin FIFA MOM awards but most of these awards appear to be popularity contests instead of who has actually done something on the pitch. Messi is the most deadliest man on the pitch when he plays and you can see it clearly. Ronaldo might be deadly but he gettin snuffed out and restricted to spectacular long range efforts to try and be effective. Just my opinion
Josey might have been ARGUABLY the US biggest threat (I would agree wit Sando and say Donovan) but what did he deliver? And is not like he Messi like in mashin up teams or he didn't get chances. Dempsey is a football abortionist.
Yuh could score 2 penalty and be deemed a flop. This is Samuel Eto'o we talkin about. He was extremely disappointing for me.
I didn't have any expectations of any English player so for me, I cyah be disappointed in any players I didn't expect anything from.
