[Yi-Long]

I've never been good with names, so I could never list the best player for each team, but my choice for Holland would certainly be Edwin Vd Sar and perhaps V. Persie.

For South Korea I liked that blonde forward called Lee, although right back defender Y.P. Lee is also always good.

Australia: Tim Cahill

Germany: probably Lahm, although more players can look back at some good performances...

Croatia: Prso

Sweden: Kim Killstrom, although in that last match he wasnt very good. Wilhelmsson was godawfull btw. Didnt think much of Ljungberg either.
Elmander made a good impression when he was on, but he (sadly) hasnt played enough so I cant pick him. TBH Sweden was pretty crap this tournament.

England: Joe Cole, although he hasnt been consistently great. But the whole team has been very very poor thusfar.

Argentina: Many players have been playing very very well. Maxi Rodriquez probably made the best impression on me, although Riquelme hasalso shown some quality stuff (which pleasantly surprised me as I'm not that big a fan of his). But as I said. the whole team has done very very well so it's hard to pick a favourite.

T&T: Yorke no doubt.

Spain: No idea, but certainly not Torres.

As I said, I'm not good with names so I have a problem remembering who played well in which match and all that, so the rest just didnt make a big impression, either as a team or as individual players... so I could go on and 'guess' and pick favourites, but I wont. :)

GrpG
France - Henry

I just can't find any reason to agree with you there.

I don't watch every match so I'll just comment on those countries I've been following.
Brazil - Ze Roberto, I think he's been their most important player so far, Kaka comes close.

France - Vieira

Spain - Xavi? or Casillas, but this may be biased.

Argentina - The entire team has been wonderful, but I think Roman deserves a shout for commanding the play.

South Korea - Park Ji Sung

Japan - Kawaguci

Ghana - Appiah

Germany - Klose

Portugal - Maniche

I haven't been following England, but I think Beckham has been their best so far, say what you want but without him you all wouldn't have gotten so far.

I can't see how anyone can pick Ronaldinho.

I can't see how anyone can pick Robben, as overall Van Persie was more important and his overall play was better ;)

Serbia Montenegro - Vidic

how can he..!?

i'm surprised nobody agreed with me about T&T's best player.

Cornell Glen was brilliant when he came on, Sweden struggled to cope with his pace and his trickery and he also made some excellent runs against England's defence. He impressed me very much.
