Who do you think it was??? Imma have to go with Ronaldihno. All the hype about him being the best in the World and all he finishes with is 1 assist and a very lackluster performance for his standards

Ronaldinho also known as Ronnie 10 or the victim of Joga Bonito.

Runner up: Steven Gerrard :rofl: Simply put, he was :sb9:.

Other candidates:
Henry (as usual)
Luca Toni - barely done a thing!
Iker Casillas - couldn't stop them when it counted the most
Adriano - invisible except for when he scored his 2 goals
Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Francesco Totti - continuation of his decline at the national team level

Ronaldinho

whole england...

Ronaldinho hands down, I guess everyone who loves football was expecting him to show a lot more.

Ronaldinho, its like he never got on the plane to Germany.

I choose Lampard.

Ronaldinho didnt attack as much, but he did alot of defensive work!
Blame the coach..

1. Ronaldinho
2. Lampard
3. van Nistelrooy

The circus clown known as Ronaldinho.

In all fairness Van Nistelrooy wasn't given a lot of time and he still nabbed a couple,

Lampard's number one for me, followed by Ronaldinho.
If Adriano's performance has been a surprise to anyone you obviously haven't seen him on Inter recently

Ronaldinho. Huge flop.

ronaldinho. not to slight him, but it's just that he's set such a high standard of play, and he didn't live up to that.

how can you say shevchenko was disappointing? i thought he played rather well considering he had no help from his team.

lampard
ballack
pauletta
cronaldo

Ronaldinho, Lampard.

lampard
ballack
pauletta
cronaldo

Pauleta wasen't disappointing. That's just how he plays for Portugal. The team isn't built for him, he's not the big dog in the yard like he is at PSG.

Pauleta wasen't disappointing. That's just how he plays for Portugal. The team isn't built for him, he's not the big dog in the yard like he is at PSG.

Brazil isnt built for Ronaldinho either, he got too used to Barca and Eto'o.

I would say Dinho...but the entire brazil team was :-puke:

And very close, for me it was JR Riquelme...i was expecting much more, and all he gave was a few KILLER corners, one between the lines pass, and thats it...in our most important game he was invisible... (:/)

V. Nisterlooy
Ronaldihno
Lampard
Owen
Rooney
Sheva
Drogba
Figo
Toni

Figo?
I'm actually really satisfied with what he did for us in this WC.

Figo?
I'm actually really satisfied with what he did for us in this WC.

Yes, he was more important than Deco...

Deco can be another one, right..? right up there with Gerrard...

yea, figo's played well this world cup.

deco's had some tough luck though...he missed the first game b/c of injury, missed another game b/c of yellow cards and then another one b/c of a red card.

lampard was pretty bad.

and i expected more out of ruud as well.

ballack didn't play as well as he could, but i thought he was ok. he didn't look fit though. i heard an interesting stat on the radio: the two players who have taken the most shots (shots, not shots on goal) in this world cup are lampard and ballack. it's funny b/c ballack didn't even play the first game!

and zlatan was disappointing. i know he had a nagging injury as well, but even when he was fit, he didn't look good.

landon donovan certainly didn't show up.

as for toni, i didn't really expect much from him...he is a newbie in the international scene.

and as much as it pains me to say, park jisung didn't show up either.

Deco was truly bad against France, but he did a good job against Iran.
like Jedi said, he was more unlucky than disappoiting.

Ronaldinho
Lampard
ibrahimovic
Van Nistelrooy
Crouch

Ibrahimovic was the most overrated. Ronaldinho was out of form but he also had 3 players defending him.

Ronaldinho was not at his best, but Lampard was abysmal I don't think he could have played much worse.

People are only saying Ronaldinho because he set such high standards during the season, but it would've been hard to match it. Especially considering how long his season was. For me Lampard was the most disappointing, he was truly shocking. I mean, really shocking.

blame erikson for that. when he decided to start gerrard and lampard together. i knew this gonna be ****

Ronaldino & Lampard

Without Makele doing all the hard work for him , I think he was found out, he's slow, can't tackle, can't pass , the only he usually does well is shoot and take penalties but he couldn't even do these. Ronaldo got a lot a criticism for being overweight, I think Lampard deserved just as much he definately wasn't at peak fitness.

Riquelme, we wanted a team driver, not that he did (:/)

1.Lampard
2.Ronaldinho
3.Ibrahimovic
4.Adriano
5.Stankovic

I reckon Raitano.

Rooney
Not fit to fit in England Squad!!

Rooney
Not fit to fit in England Squad!!

Exactly, not fit, did anyone really expect some magic by Rooney after the injury?

Lampard for me, and then Ronaldinho and maybe Ballack.

I love Ronadinho to pieces, but he definitely disappointed. I kept waiting for him to pull his shenanigans, but it showed very little.

I was also disappointed with Messi..... not that he played poorly, just that the coach didn't put him in. He was supposed to be the player to watch in this world cup and we were robbed of that.

He had one bad tournament and now he is ****? He was superb at Euro, so that proves it has nothing to do with Makelele, as does Lampard pretty much steering England to Germany through qualifying.

Its a shame that the standard people use for players when they have a good tournament (oh he is a superstar etc) doesnt last on when people realise they are average players, and most people discard it, however is a top player has a bad tournament, they are considered ****. Its such a double standard.

I was also disappointed with Messi..... not that he played poorly, just that the coach didn't put him in. He was supposed to be the player to watch in this world cup and we were robbed of that.

How can you be disappointed with him if he didn't get to play. It's the coach's fault.

I was disappointed with Lampard. He brought the wrong boots to the World Cup and also didn't form a good partnership with Gerrard.

How can you be disappointed with him if he didn't get to play. It's the coach's fault.
... I think I explained that

Luca Toni.....enough said.


Ronaldino isn't a striker guys...... so I don't know why everyone expects him to score everytime he touches the ball.


Luca Toni is so ....were the goals?

whole england team, ronaldinho,
and i also think that ibrahimovicis overrated and it wasn't a surprise hthat he didn't play well because he sucks, this could be the tournament where everyone notices how bAd he is, oh yeah, luca toni was a huge disappointment a s well

Luca Toni.....enough said.


I don't agree. Luca Toni made a great World Cup, the goals didn't come in. In the first match against Ghana, Toni in front does a lot alone. At least, much more than other guys like Ronaldo or Pauleta.

Ronaldino isn't a striker guys...... so I don't know why everyone expects him to score everytime he touches the ball.

We expected him to do something useful, but we got back/side passes. Plus i dont recall seeing the man getting past one defender.

We also expect an idol to show a little respect for the country, instead of doing/going to parties in Barcelona 2 days after the elimination. Like he cares anyway.

crouch not doing the robot when he scored dissapointed me, so you can put him up there. :(

I think the most dissapointing player was Ronaldinho cause he wasn't able to go past defenders, his shots were bad and he didn't show anything good ... he was one of the worst players and he didn't show what he is capable of doing as he does at Barcelona. And Brazil was the most dissapointing team from this World Cup. Hope they will do better at the next World Cup.

rooney he is monkey :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Most disappointing player: RONALDINHO.

And well deserved.

The expectations were HUGE. His skills were all over the internet, the tv commercials and even implemented in games. But in the WC, a very average player, with below average passes, and terrible easy Free Kick misses.

He didn't get past a single defender throught all WC matches.
He didn't shoot one impressive shot at the goal.

Terrible.

EDIT: I saw a video of Ronaldinho repetitively shooting the ball at the post, then receiving it outside the box. Then doing it again and again. How the hell could someone like that not score at will, given the many chances he had?

A total let-down.

Ronaldinho :rockman:

Brazil expected him to do a miracle or something. He will never perform with lazy players like Ronaldo.

At least he has a excuse, unlike other players. It was a long season.

I don't really care, though. I can't wait to see him with the blaugrana shirt again.

- Ronaldinho played in a heavily defensive system with brazil, while at barca they play offensive football.

- Ronaldo was way too fat.

- Lampard missed a lot of chances.

- RVN didn't play much.

- Messi didn't play much but when he did it was awesome

- Riquelme, well you can blame the coach, he made him play that meaningless game against the Netherlands and you could see he was way too tired after that. During the Mexico game he was already spent.

- Ballack was injured practically the whole turney.

- Pauleta plays in a team that doesn't wanna play for him, Figo and C. Ronaldo are talented players but they never ever wanted to make a pass for him (specially C. Ronaldo).

- Deco didn't show in his match against us.

- USA Team, seriously what did you expect another quarter final?.

Exactly, not fit, did anyone really expect some magic by Rooney after the injury?

Lampard for me, and then Ronaldinho and maybe Ballack.

I am not disappointed by his performance
But feel disappointed as he wasn't fit!

I think people could have seen Lampard's poor world cup coming.

His form was awful from february on IMO

I don't know why Shevchenko deserved to be on the list.

As for Ronaldinho, well, you can't be the best all the time. He had an exhausting season with Barcelona and now people (mostly Brazilians) expect him to single handedly win them the trophy. You can't play surrounded by shi.t after a loooong season. Plus, you could see Parreira didn't know what to do with Ronaldinho. He could learn from Rijkaard.
The Brazilian posters make me laugh. You people expect the impossible, and when it's not delivered to your spoiled little asses, you take a random shot at the player you choose to blame. Why didn't you blame Ronaldo, or Adriano, or Kaka? Those are all Brazilian idols, but they didn't get insults, unlike the "clown" Ronaldinho.
It's now obvious that Brazilians don't watch a lot of Barcelona and Ronaldinho. If they had, they'd know it's pretty hard to impress in a tournament after your strengths were spent in a long and hard season.

Besides, knowing how Robinho (a pretty useless player, like Cristiano Ronaldo) was labelled in Brazil as the best thing since Pele, which was disrespectful towards THEE best player on Earth, you people didn't even deserve his appearance in Germany. He should have stayed at home and watch the Brazilian NT do all they can to help Ronaldo surpass Schuster, because that seems to be the only goal Parreira had in mind.

One other thing, talking about how Ronaldinho doesn't care is pretty stupid seeing how he cried after the match. But no, that's not enough for Brazil. He was supposed to cry his soul out back in Brazil and then go out and let random citizens take swings at him. That would be real justice. This way, he showed a lot of disrespect towards Brazil by leaving FOR HIS HOME AFTER BEING ELIMINATED.

I can accept that people think Ronaldinho failed, and he did. But I can't accept him being insulted, because he didn't deserve it.
Criticism will make him play even better for Barca, and insults will make him play extremely lazy for Brazil, which is exactly what that country deserves.

Ronaldinho and Lampard were truly awful this WC...

Henry
Toni
Gerrard
& Adriano also had a shocker

I blame a good chunk of Henry and Adriano's subpar outputs on their respective coaches.


I personally don't advocate swearing over the internet but I've gotta let these two out at the headache inducing mishandling of these two players for a moment......forgive me, fellow SGers........


Mr. Carlos Alberto Parreira, **** you, man.

Mr. Raymond Domenech, **** you and your sweet looking thick, black eyebrows, man.

Lampard had something like 21 shots on goal throughout the tournament. If he scored just 1/5 of that tally of shots we wouldn't be talking about him now.

Rob pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Mr. Raymond Domenech, **** you and your sweet looking thick, black eyebrows, man.

i agree with you here, call me spoiled but could we have played better or at least more offensive football, prolly. The problem was our defenders would've needed an extra pair of lungs to make up for our "grandpas".

i still think Henry and Treze can make a good attacking duo, it's up to the coach to make good use of them. They are the only players from this squad who are going to be back for the euro qualifiers so whoever gets to be the coach needs to make 'em work together.

PS: our euro qualifier zone is prolly the hardest ever.

Bench Vieira...........

1. england, especially lampard & gerrard
2. ronaldinho
3. ali karimi

Bench Vieira...........

why? he has turned out good in the knockout stages, if it was up to me i would bench abidal and make Flo play as a false LB (meaning he'd still be a left winger) and of course would play Treze.

But, you don't mess with a winning formula :$

In all fairness Van Nistelrooy wasn't given a lot of time and he still nabbed a couple,...

He played in 3 games and scored one against the Ivory Coast.....besides that, he did ****all! :alex:

I don't know why Shevchenko deserved to be on the list.

I picked Ronaldinho not because of his useless display on the WC. I picked him because after the elimination it's well known around here he went to party. That's lack of consideration. I wasnt too pissed off at it, and honestly i saw it coming, but there were a lot of Brazilians with tears in their faces. And their biggest idol just shown he didnt give a damn. I didnt pick Kaká because at least he cared, and he had a decent tournament apart from the France game, in which he clearly looked out of condition. Dont blame Ronaldinho's poor performance on the tactical aspect. He played out of position? Yes! But still, every time he got the damn ball he couldnt do nothing with it. That's not his position's fault.

Ronaldo, yes, he can be blamed too. But he went through many **** this WC, still managed 3 goals and still, against France, he had our one dangerous shot during the whole game. And he got a good free-kick, which your marvelous Ronaldinho also managed to screw-up. Adriano, well, i didnt expect much of him anyway.

And no, our country doesnt deserve the crap Ronaldinho and some other players (Adriano, Carlos and co) gives us. You can play bad alright. But dont "celebrate" our elimination in a nightclub. And Ronaldo surpassed Gerd Muller, not Schulster, get your facts straight.

To finish the argument, yes, Ronaldinho is a clown circus. At least he was during training, where he did everything like trick on his book to make all the youngsters in training cream themselves whilst trying to adapt to his position, which he clearly didnt.

A TV show even managed to call Carlos on his house. There was so much noise (especially music and people talking) that it was incredible. Brazil got eliminated. Let's party!

EDIT: I saw a video of Ronaldinho repetitively shooting the ball at the post, then receiving it outside the box. Then doing it again and again.
that didn't actually happen.

Ronaldino isn't a striker guys...... so I don't know why everyone expects him to score everytime he touches the ball.

well nobody expects his to score every match. like i said earlier, the reason why i thought he was so disappointing is because he set his bar so high, and he wasn't close to meeting it. as a matter of fact, there were many matches were he didn't even show up.

i know he played in a different position and in a different system under parreira (who i don't think is a good manager for big, star-studded teams), but the great players find a way to adapt.

but, this was supposed to be his stage to show the world that he is the greatest player in the world now. unfortunately, it didn't work out, but hopefully he'll do better in the next world cup. for the past 2-3 years, he's shown he can deliver on the biggest stages, and we all expected him to do the same in germany.

as for ronaldo, he was horrible in the first two games, but he still finished with 3 goals and improved with each game. i think of all the brazilian players that under-performed, he actually played well, relatively.

and whoever said shevchenko was disappointing, please explain.

I think people could have seen Lampard's poor world cup coming.

His form was awful from february on IMO
Yep, spot on, and from a Lampard hater even. If this world cup was last summer, he might have challenged for the golden boot

Flat out awful

Worst, for me:
Ronaldinho, of course: showed one or two flashes of inventiveness, but was completely outshone on Brazil. After all that hype, his reputation has taken a major hit

Lampard: absolutely worthless. Drifted until the odd timed run to the edge of the box, where he skies the ball over

Owen: pains me to say because of the injury, but he just lurked and never looked like scoring. The fact that he is now out half a year is just a slap in the face.

Roberto Carlos: for his inability to mark set pieces alone

Good, but couldve been alot better

Ballack: again, he was occasionally very inventive, but mostly mute. But I noticed virtually all of Germany's build ups went through him

Podolski: After being hyped as the underrated Rooney, he was pretty average

Rooney: not fair cause he wasnt fit, but pretty pants

Deco: mostly anonymous

Terry: The best centreback in England was not as good as he couldve been

Gerrard: aside from the odd goal, he was useless

Luca Toni: clearly club form doesnt count for much

Ronaldo: the fact that he poached for three goals while loafing makes you wonder what he couldve done working hard for 90 minutes

Adriano: like Lampard, he's been sh*t this season, so I wasnt expecting much

Joaquin: very forgettable, as was most of Spain

Tevez: I was expecting alot more from him

Shevchenko: only the greatest of strikers can carry a team, but he is great and though Ukraine did good, he only netted twice

im sure im forgetting alot of people

I'd like to add Postiga to the club, and if just for that ridiculous dive he pulled against France, which must have been one of the most blatant cheat attempts in World Cup history.

Ronaldinho first, though, by a country mile. "Overplayed, long and hard season" my a$$... more like "overhyped" and "long and exhausting commercial shootings"...

Ronaldo poached 3 gols? well thats the dumbest thing I've read today....

I'll say that Dinho's lack of performance was due to the coach. Making him play defensively. With that said, against France he was playing upfront, and then he REALLY disappointed...

I'd like to add Postiga to the club
I'm sure no one was expecting Postiga to do well, or at least not a single Portuguese was.

I knew Lampard was out of sorts before this started so his under par performances were not a surprise at all. TBH the tactics and formations and players used by Eriksson, were the main reason why England as a whole failed to impress. Every game saw a different lineup and formation. We must have been the only team at the world cup who didn't have a settled system. Dont dismiss the entire team though. Joe Cole played well and so did John Terry, those 2 seem to be overlooked just because the rest were dissapointing crap, although i expected more from them as well.

Anyway my list of players I expected more from. Remember this is about players who were overhyped.

Tevez.....tough little bloke, runs a lot, did fu<k all

Ronaldinho.......believes all the hype about himself more than anyone else does, too lightweight, plus every team on the planet knows how to nullify him by now

Requelme....overated before the world cup so I guess he didn't surprise me really. Still dissapointed though.

Henry.....1 goal. The rest was total s.h.i.t.

Torres....Rubbish.

The list is endless.......

I think it would be easier to remember who has impressed. This World Cup has been overall very dissapointing as a spectator, and I dont think I've seen one player who amazed me at all. The odd goal here and there was good but a very forgetable tournament compared to many past ones.

For the team that gave me the most laughs though, has to be Portugal. The game against Holland was hilarious as well as sickening. The game against France was the funniest example of synchronised team diving that I have ever witnessed in my life. If England had to go out against anyone, I'm glad it was Portugal otherwise I would never had been able to piss myself laughing at their performance against France. Sorry Portugeezers but your team are the shame of the World Cup 2006. Bye :ewan:

Mentally weak as always, now piss off and go make some kits.

Vinnie....your countries National Team are a disgrace to football. They have the worst disciplinary record for this tournament. They have also demonstrated time and time again what a bunch of slimy cheating divers they are. This is a team ethic mate. this is not about one guy diving in one game. This is a tactic that Portugal rely on to win (or draw if they cant beat a team in 90 minutes). England might have played like s.h.i.t but Portugal NT behave like s.h.i.t.

HAHAHA you talking about disciplinary records when you had a hooligan in the pitch who stamp someone in the groin area? That´s worst than any red card offense from any portuguese player in this Wc. Let´s see Deco got wrongfully sent off because of time wasting and Costinha because of a handball. Shrek boy got sent off because of reckless play. Yep i guess that tell us who are the savages. The tactic Portugal uses to beat England is quite simple we are technically and mentally better than your weak players. Btw talking about diving Gerrard´s dive against Poland was way worse than any other dive from any portuguese player, but i guess we can forget about that, he is english.

Dont generalise about a Nations people. Only Ignorant people do that Vinnie. Yopu still deflect from the subject.

Talk about Portugal and the diving. What IS your opinion?

ballack, ibrahimovic, ronaldinho, RvN, Adriano

Vinnie... Pede is just a bitter sad c*nt. The type that reads The Sun and blames Ronaldo for England's exit from the World Cup.

I honestly don't know why you or anyone wastes their time with him.

What matters was what happened on the field and Portugal won over England AGAIN.

Actually dear boy, if you look back, you will find that it was YOU who started all the whinging, directly after I posted. I merely commented on the competition in general as did many people before me. You were the only one who felt the need to attack. Give it up Vinnie, you have nothing of interest to say on the subject. You are too bitchy like a girly. :rofl:

We don't dive anymore than Brasil or Holland or Random country A or etc....

Anyone remember Rivaldo's theatrics a few years back. Or how about that late penalty in the ItalyxAustralia game. Matter of fact, Helder Postiga is the only guy I'm really ashamed of. He was a horrible actor in the France game. Figo and Ronaldo actually do get fouled a hell of alot cause defenders don't know how else to stop them.

Please stop acting like we're the only country that ever dived.

hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa aaaaaaa :rofl:

Italy = no.1 in diving

ronaldinho was the one who lived the least up to the expectations, but also to be mentioned: the expectations was extremely high and almost impossible to live up to. Secondly, he was used in all the wrong positions and the strikers were not moving at all, which makes it even harder for him as a playmaker.

i also think Henry has disappointed

Btw talking about diving Gerrard´s dive against Poland was way worse than any other dive from any portuguese player, but i guess we can forget about that, he is english.


I hate to be drawn into an argument, but everyone brings up this example when their NT have been accused of diving by some one English, it is just one example when Portugal vs. France had about four examples.

Remember I don't wanna fight, but it gets on my nerves you know?

The type that reads The Sun and blames Ronaldo for England's exit from the World Cup.


I read The Sun :( :$ :D

I don't know why my fellow countrymen insist on trying to have a discussion with Pede, it's just useless.

Henry has 3 goals, not 1. For a man who's not a lone striker he's done fine.

He plays well in the 4-5-1 at Arsenal because he's had Ljungberg, Reyes, Bergkamp, and Pires who know the exact way he plays.

Only really Wiltord can be classed in that area for France.

I never really talk to the guy so I forget. It really is pointless.

I agree, I don't really know who is more stupid Pede or the people who actually argue with thim...

hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa aaaaaaa :rofl:

you're either a really really weird ****...

or just a sad sad man

I like your avatar. I remember laughing about that incident. Mostly because I prefer Sporting.

Ok i just find it hilarious. I mean isn´t he suppose to be 50 year old or something. Really mature but i guess it´s understandable because he is prolly a yob with no education. I will give it a rest anyways. Like they say, never argue with idiots, they will lower you to their level and beat you with experience.

Pete and Vinnie, come on! Stop this sh*t guys.

Gerrard has divided multiple times it´s not just this example. But fair enough. I actually admire your posture and i don´t want to "fight" with you. Just wish we could get over the Portugal vs England game but i guess this isn´t possible with some ppl adopting a provocative behaviour. I hold no grudges towards you. Cheers.

Done mate. He can babble alone for all i care. Sry for actually answering him, i should have known already.

(Y) Personally I am over the game...

I don't think any player stood out during the WC.

Ronaldinho is not exception, but anyone who has followed his NT career knows he never performed in the same level he does in Barça. His greates moment was against England in 2002.

^^
And even then he wernt that good...

Exactly.

Before the cup, some critics said something very wise: The magic quartet as thought by Parreira and advertised by the media, actually never worked. In the games where it did work, either Ronaldinho or Ronaldo weren't playing.
Unfortunately, Parreira wasn't able to get that.

lol i find it funny how they copied the phrase magic quartet, again, there was only one carre magique and it was formed by tigana, fernandez, platini and giresse

It was a term coined by the brazilian press. I don't think they ever mentioned anything about where they took it from.
