World Cup 2010: top 10 star players who have not lived up to their billing in South Africa
Never buy a player at the World Cup so the maxim goes, because what you see might not be what you get. Here is a top 10 of established performers who have reversed that wisdom at this World Cup, players who came with huge reputations and left diminished.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal): A frustrated figure in a Portugal side that tried to eke results rather than back themselves and their star player. One goal in four matches for the world’s most expensive striker says it all. Wayne Rooney (England): Never found the rhythm of post Christmas peak at Manchester United. Not the same since the injury he suffered in the Champions League in Munich. Flat as a pancake in front of goal.
