Which England player(s) emerged out of that TOURNAMENT with any credit?

[The Large One]

Who - and I'm only putting up the players who played - came out of World Cup 2010 with their credibility intact, and with more appreciation than criticism?

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Milner and Defoe.

That's it for me.

edit: and crouch i suppose!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

james, milner, ashley cole

 

[Beach Hut]

None in my view, all of them very clearly under-achieved

edit - Ashley Cole is the only one that did reasonably well

 

[Simon Morgan]

I think Gerrard deserves credit myself.

 

[clarkey]

Ashley Cole, maybe Milner. Gerrard ok in a poor team. Terry until today. Zamora, Dawson, Crouch.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Defoe, James, A Cole.

Milner was shit today

 

[British Bulldog]

None, They all played below the standard they're capable of.

 

[Hunting 784561]

Milner is underwhelming at international level.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Rio Ferdinand?

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

I think Gerrard deserves credit myself.

take off the Liverpool tinted specs.

His "good" World Cup lasted about 15 minutes.

 

[Beach Hut]

I think Gerrard deserves credit myself.

I suppose for putting up with being the captain and being played out of position

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

take off the Liverpool tinted specs.

His "good" World Cup lasted about 15 minutes.

to be fair to him he seem to care

 

[withdeanwombat]

I bet Theo Walcott was pleased not to be associated with this squad.


But James,Milner,Ashley Cole and.........err,........umm Defoe,possibly.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

James & - to an extent - Gerrard. That's it for me tbh.

 

[Silent Bob]

I think Gerrard deserves credit myself.

The only thing he deserves credit for is keeping the same haircut for 8 years.

He is HORRIBLE in an England shirt (and last season in a liverpool shirt too).

 

[skipper734]

Bobby Z had a lucky escape.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Defoe got a goal and that was it.I thought he was as bad as anyone today.

 

[Driver8]

Bobby Z had a lucky escape.

Thank god he wasn't fit. Mind you Capello would probably have played him in midfield.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Ashley Cole.

That is it for me. A good one to miss.
