Tim Howard, Winston Reid, and Lucas Podolski should be on here. Iniesta, in particular, was pretty rubbish yesterday and shouldn’t be on here.
No Forlan, Higuain, Howard or Bradley?
iniesta :o ?
FORLAN !
it’s true, iniesta was rubbish.
and is it me or is he one of the most irritating footballers in the world right now? i don’t know, he has the face of the kid who would scream a lot on the school bus. and he’s kind of a diver/cupcake/brat.
Siphwe Tshabalala has possibly the coolest name in football. or Waldo Ponce. one of the two.
Looks like you jinxed Enyeama… he’s dropped a right bollock against Greece just now
Sorry, but Iniesta was excellent. Deserved to be on the winning side. Xavi excellent also.
Why suggest Higuain? He was shite against Nigeria! Veron could be here, Iniesta was kinda crap against the Swiss. I also think Diaby deserves a place.
North Korea
I thought Thomas Muller played well and deserved his goal.
Ye but Higuain just scored a hattrick against South Korea. Also how can you miss out Forlan he has been the player of the tournement so far!
Awesome pics Ollie, thanks for uploading them.
My team of the first round of play would be:-
4-2-3-1
Enyeama(NIG)
v.d. Wiel(HOL)
Mensah(GHA)
Grichting(SUI)
Lahm(GER)
Gerrard(ENG)
Schweinsteiger(GER)
Robinho(BRA)
Ozil(GER)
Messi(ARG)
Klose(GER)
Honorable mentions: Muller, Podolski, Dos Santos, Park J.S, Sneijder, Iniesta, Johnson
i dont understand why everyone is going crazy for tim howard at the moment… he made a good save when he was injured by grandpa heskey, but its one youd expect any world cup gk to make. apart from that, i cant remember him making anything but routine saves. hes a good keeper, but i wasnt THAT impressed. espn assholes like lalas saying hes the best in the world? come on.
George Welcome, one of the stars of the tournament!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tshabalala’s goal in the opening game was great but against Uruguay he was way too selfish and held up most of South Africa’s attacking moves. it looked like he was more concerned with scoring another cracking goal than building up the team movement required to open up an opportunity. leaving out Forlan is insane. iniesta was not terrible but he certainly wasn’t excellent, particularly by his standards. howard was good, some of his saves looked routine but that was because his positioning was pinpoint. ozil was awesome.
Why Park Ji Sung?
Some of you didn’t seem to understand that this was based only on first round of games. Forlan was average against France, but good against S Africa. Therefore he didn’t make this list.
Conversely, Ji-Sung Park was superb against Greece but meh against Argentina.
Don’t agree with any Spanish inclusions. You don’t score any goals by passing the ball to the defenders, back to the central midfielders, and back again.
Spain have no width and that is BECAUSE Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets etc are all playing and don’t play well together with no-one like Messi.
How can you not have Howard on here?
Giovanni Dos Santos (Mexico) !!
Diego Forlan has been the best player of the tournament so far. How can he not be on that last. I also think Gio Dos Santos is worth a mention too.
[...] features the 20 best players in the World Cup… so [...]
@Simon
Spain have width in David Silva, but he was absolutely pathetic against Switzerland. That uber lame shot from just outside the box when he had a great chance to drill it pretty much summed his night up. Navas was better, but still no Messi. Pedro isn’t an impact player and needs to start.
Alonso was Spains best midfielder in the first game. You cant really do this after one game, although Dos Santos and the Mexican left back have both been excellent so far.
[...] Top 20 Players at the World Cup… so far [...]
No English player should be in that top 20. They have by far the easiest group and still not won.
Have you watched the games? David Villa?
ozil
i hope and pry gahna wins the world cup
Diego FOrlan Guyz was the bst player so far.He was everything for urugay he scored many goals and he did many assists he was the best.
lucas podolski is the best player.
why is iniesta on this list? When was this list even made? geez
have you watched spain vs netherlands it was awful david villa had to score 5 goals aganst germany that was awful too
