Ricky Riccardo Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Good players but way too over hyped, great clubsmen with money and talent around them in top teams in their respective leagues, but on the world stage they are exposed as average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sned Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I sort of feel like the only people who over-hype these players are the same ones who start threads like this. Would have thought most would recognise the differences between international and domestic tournaments, while accepting that their performances over a whole season are more indicative of ability than a World Cup.

Ricky Riccardo Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 so much hate from the fan boys ^_^ Teams win world cups not players. The moral of this thread is so people stop hyping up players as if they win games by themselves, it is a team sprt. Sport worshipping individuals. All these players had money and talent around them in their clubs, yet fail on the big stage so yes they are judged by this world cup. Continue the abuse though fan boys... You know we are right in our criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intruder-II Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I think C. Ronaldo and Rooney are indeed overrated. Not the others. Rooney because of skill, and Ronaldo because of low intelligence.

Dale Gribble Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Except the lack of goals, Messi has done alright, I think he's been unlucky not to have scored too, keepers have made some fantastic saves against him. Torres has probably been the biggest flop of the cup (well, tied with Rooney perhaps), I'm amazed Spain played him today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
