OK lets begin class.
Makers
Germany: Klose- doesnt get as much respect as other top class strikers do but he gets the job done.
Sweden: Ljunberg- played great as expected and was one of the few bright spots on that team.
Argentina: Messi/ Tevez- the two young guys who made it happen when they were on the pitch. Watch out 2010.
Mexico: Omar Bravo- two goals in I believe the opener got my eyes open on this guy. Too bad he didnt play much after.
England: Aaron Lennon- Another guy who showed that age doesnt make a difference by making an impact when inserted.
Ecuador: Tenorio- really made a difference for that team.
Portugal: Christiano Ronaldo- the guy has moves and many times inspired the troops to go forward when under pressure.
Netherlands: Robben- splendid player, got to see alot of him which I dont normally.
Italy: Buffon- this guy was majestic for them at times in goal. I thought he deserved the golden ball if France lost.
Australia: Tim Cahill- played hero for a second there.
Switzerland: ...who?
Ukraine: Didnt watch much of them.
Brazil: Kaka- played the best out of their "magic quartet" and was very silky on the ball before the injury.
Ghana: Essien/Appiah- both really kept that team inspired.
Spain: Fernando Torres- finally saw something good out of this guy. Before I wondered what the hype was but this little sample helps.
France: Zidane- I'll excuse his crazed head-butt on this one.
Fakers
Germany: Michael Ballack- didnt look half as good as expected.
Sweden: Ibrahimovic- cant say much of anything because he was pretty nonexistent.
Argentina: I guess Mascherano- an FM guy I have never seen in real life but thought would play well. Didnt see much.
Mexico: uuuum....
England: Michael Owen/ Wayne Rooney- played crap and never really made a difference for their team in my opinion.
Ecuador: uuuum...
Portugal: dunno, overall I thought they did ok'ish.
Netherlands: uuuuum....errr...Babel?
Italy: They're the champs so I wont rain on their parade.
Australia: uuum...
Switzerland: who?
Ukraine: Shevchenko, never really got going I suppose. Had 2 goals so that wasnt all that bad.
Brazil: Where to begin? Ronaldinho/ Adriano. I love the other R too much to include.
Ghana: they were ok.
Spain: Joaquin. I dont see whats so great. He looked pretty normal.
France: Henry. More whining than playing.
