- The entire USA team. Very poor effort.

- Lampard. You're not fooling anyone anymore Frank. Please retire from international play.

- Rooney. Where was his cool and calm demeanor from Euro 2004? Playing upfront alone last two games was Sven's fault, but he didn't look fit and his touches were far from sharp.

- Ronaldhino. Almost invisible.

- C. Ronaldo. Attitude and gamesmanship more than anything else. Devoid of class and undeserving of any respect.

Managers:

Sven - whatever he tried just did not work
Parriera - did not inspire Brazil and too loyal to the old farts
Pekerman - subs cost Argentina a game they should have won.

Yeh... you're right about C. Ronaldo... I don't know what I'll do if he ends up landing at Real Madrid, my God how can they ruin their name with such a football player.

About Parreira, He didn't disappoint me at all because I truly wasn't expecting anything from him... you might be right that he didn't sub some of the old players but imagine if he had lost with the young ones as well, it would be the same story "ohh lord how did you bench cafu, ronaldo, roberto carlos, etc. etc" I blame Ronaldinho the most for not taking the leader role and simply hiding when his team needed him the most.

I don't understand why Brazilians crucify their players and coach for not winning. They've won 5 World Cups and been in 9 Finals out of 17...and usually always make it to at least the QF stage. Sometimes they're just not that good and this year, they didn't quite click. I said it from the beginning that Germany and Brazil wouldn't win it. I am half right so far.

How the hell is Sheva a disappointment...? Ukraine made the quarters... I know he wasn't scoring goals every game... but please... he's not a disappointment for me at all in this world cup...

I love Lampard... but he just never had it... too bad...

Ronaldinho of course...

Luca Toni...

Donovan, Beasley, McBride... oh yeah, the whole fuckin team but DEMPSEY!!!!!!!! CLINT Dempsey is the man!!! lol...

I'm going to say Essien, cause the meathead got himself yellow'd out of the quarters, that was stupid!

Adriano sucked as well...


Peckerhead is my only vote for worst coach... no MESSI at all in the quarters?????????????????

Pekerman is an excellent coach, ok, i agree with you, but it was only one, when we played against mexico, i think that the subs that he made were crucial to win the game..
I personally think that messi, is not ready yet, to play a whole game on a wrold cup, is great, but too young yet.. you will see it on south africa!!!

Peker is a good coach but that doesn't take away the he scewed up by not playing Messi vs Germany.If he had played him you along with me would be watching Argentina vs Italia tomorrow.

i thought Scheva did quite well - it's not like he had an amazing team around him you know.

my disappointments are these - I only picked top 5.

1. Ronaldinho - he was outshined by Kaka and really makes one question how he performs alongside Deco at Barca but didn't do shit on Brazil... coaching???

2. Czech Republic squad - Nedved was alright but I really expected them to make it to the 2nd round - all those old players going out in the first round for their final perfomance is sad.

3. Refereeing - they've gone to shit with all the carding - bullshit calls, missed calls, stupid calls - what can I say they were a disaster this time around. Really missing Collina

4. Serbia & Montenegro defense vs. Argentina - I have no idea what happened there but they were not the club that only let in 1 goal during qualifiers. I'm not saying they deserved to go through but 6 goals made my face look like this

5. last but not least - Wayne Rooney - red card or not, if any of you play soccer you know well enough that you have good enough control of your ankle to lift it if you feel something underneath it - he was also looking down. Yes a punk move by Ronaldo to whine about it to the ref but regardless Rooney is a world-class player that is fully capable of avoiding that contact - or at least make the effort to lift his foot when he feels something other than grass underneath it - I watched the replays - mother****** made sure the cleat sunk in.
