SuperStar or SuperFlop?



David Villa - Hit! 4 great World Cup goals including the superb winner against Portugal.

Torres - Miss! Unless he turns up his magic in the quarter-final and beyond, this has been a very disappointed World Cup for him.

Iniesta - Hit! Super performance in the middle of the Spanish midfield.

Rooney - Miss! Did he ever turn up? I don't see Rooney in this World Cup at all.

Kaka - Still has a chance to make it a hit! Brazil is playing well and he is contributing, but not really standing out from the pack.

Maradona - HIT! HIT! HIT! Silenced his critics, team is playing magical football, and has great relationship with his team! Excellent coach.

Messi - Hit! Has been doing everything except scoring. Hitting the posts, running at defenders, making assists, and lighten up the tournament.

Ronaldo - Miss! He has a quiet World Cup by his high standard. Relatively poor.

Lampard - Miss! Never hit the form of Chelsea. Never did and never will.

Gerrard - Miss! Never going to make it alone trying to lift up the very poor England side.

Xavi - Moderate. Respectable so far in the Spanish shirt, quiet by his standard but still holding the midfield together for Spanish team.

Rivery - Miss! Joke! Forget about France.

Evra - ... Miss! Forget about it.

JiSung Park - Hit! Scored once and made Asians proud by qualifying for the second round away from home for the first time. I didn't expect too much from him, but he did enough to earn a Hit.

Higuain - Hit! I am not sure if he would be first choice. Now that he is, he is taking his chances with both hands. It is very easy to score a lot of goals in this Argentinian side, and he is my vote for top scorer in this World Cup.
