Players that have been under expectations....

[jimorrizon]

Talk about or discuss about players who have unimpressed or been under expectations after the first group phase matches have concluded....

 

[Dreath]

The whole French team.

 

[Callum]

Podolski, france as dreath said, and some others, cant think.

 

[Klobb]

podolski, cause of his high expectations, but he'll pep up soon, you'll see

 

[andy]

Coudn't we just wait until the WC is over??

 

[ShearerM4]

Coudn't we just wait until the WC is over??

what fun would that be ?

 

[andy]

what fun would that be ?

At least we should wait after the first 3 games. Some players like Messi, Tévez, and Rooney haven't even played yet

 

[Dante_1901]

Podolski, after he came out for Neuville Germany won. He's so overrated

... And of course the whole USA team, and of course France ...

 

[MaSsiVe]

it's too soon to tell, but for now I say Podolski, C. Ronaldo, Gerrard, Henry, Ronaldinho and Sheva.

 

[FFC2004]

ronaldinho didn't do much

 

[Hendrik]

It's been one game, isn't it maybe a BIT too early?

Ronaldo pops into mind.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Ronaldo had been playing crap all season long so I wouldn't include him on this list.....

 

[Dante_1901]

Here in South America many people say that brazilians save their potential and the "jogo bonito" for the Second Round. They already know it's an easy group and there's no need to make huge efforts to display a beautiful game, just wait ...

Oh, and I forgot to mention Ukraine. What a deception, that team is only Shevchenko + 10 players

 

[Parkin09]

any other day that game could have been 1-0 ukraine are not a bad team at all i think they'll still qualify

 

[Dante_1901]

Of course Ukraine will qualify ... having that group, is already made.

 

[Jannes]

polish team.

 

[Brondbyfan]

I see your point about Ronaldo. But while I didn't expect greatness from him, I certainly didn't expect him to be the laziest player I have seen in the tournament. He was a disgrace, if he starts again it's purely for sentimental reasons.

 

[$teauA]

England and France.

 

[RUSI]

The obvious choice is Ronaldo, but you can't start a thread like this after only one match for each team.

 

[TheBlueBalla]

Ronaldo isnt even worthy of being a disgrace anymore. The guy is just a joke. Take your millions and f*ck off to the Burger King you waster

and Podolski was a bit disappointing in the two games I saw
