Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas (Spain)
Kept
his place ahead of Pepe Reina and David
de Gea despite no longer being automatic
first choice at Real Madrid. He began with
a nightmare performance in the 5-1
defeat by the Netherlands and produced
another blunder in the 2-0 loss to Chile
when he punched a free kick straight to
Charles Aranguiz who scored the South
Americans' second goal. Left Brazil with
his reputation in ruins.

.
Right back: Dani Alves (Brazil)
The Barcelona player left so much space downbBrazil's right flank that it was dubbed "Dani Alves Avenue" by local media.
Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari eventually lost
patience and brought in Maicon to try and plug the gaping hole in the quarterfinals and semifinals, but with no success.
.

Centre back: Pepe (Portugal)
Thecontroversial Real Madrid defender got himself sent off before halftime in the
opening 4-0 defeat by Germany for
pushing his head into Thomas Mueller as
the forward sat on the ground. Banned
for the next game against the United
States, Pepe returned for the final match
against Ghana but the damage was done
and although Portugal beat the African
side 2-1, their star-studded team failed to
make the last 16.

Centre back: Sergio Ramos (Spain)
The World Cup seemed to be a bridge too far for Ramos after his exertions in helping Real Madrid win the Champions League.
Sank without trace as Spain were utterly
overrun and humiliated in their 5-1
defeat against the Netherlands, from
which they never recovered.
.
.
Left back; Benoit Assou-Ekotto (Cameroon)
Made headlines when he incredibly attempted to heat-butt team mate Benjamin Moukandjo late in the 4-0
defeat by Croatia. French sports daily
L'Equipe reported that the bust-up
continued in the tunnel after the game
with Assou-Ekotto throwing a water bottle
at his team mate. He was dropped for
the following game against Brazil.

Midfield: Eden Hazard (Belgium) .

Supposedly the pick of Belgium's so-called "golden generation", Hazard performed one of the most impressive disappearing acts at the tournament. The low point was his utterly ineffective performance in the quarterfinal defeat by Argentina which led him to being hauled off near the end.
.
Midfield: Shinji Kagawa (Japan)
A shadow of the livewire player who helped Borussia Dortmund win two successive Bundesliga titles, Kagawa was substituted late in the game against Ivory Coast and dropped altogether against Greece. He said he had "lost the battle with myself" against the Ivorians.
.
Midfield: Alex Song (Cameroon) After his uncle Rigobert Song was sent off in both the 1994 and 1998, Song kept up the family tradition when a senseless
elbow in the back of Mario Mandzukic
earned him a first-half sending off against
Croatia. Trailing 1-0 at the time Cameroon crashed to a 4-0 defeat and
were eliminated after two games. Song,
who apologised for what he described as
a blunder, was banned for three
internationals by Fifa.

Centre forward: Fred (Brazil) . Following in the footsteps of Jairzinho, Careca, Romario, Bebeto and Ronaldo was never going to be easy, and Fred never cameclose. Arguably the least effective Brazil striker since Serginho in 1982, he managed a meagre one goal and was singled out for vicious jeering by the crowd during the semifinal drubbing by Germany.
…
…
Forward: Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) .
Suffered tendonitis in his left knee shortly
before the tournament and never lived
up to his world player of the year status.
Although he got precious little support
from a thoroughly mediocre Portugal
team, Ronaldo did not help his cause by
the manner in which he continually
remonstrated with his team mates. He
scored the winner in their final match
against Ghana but Portugal's hopes of
getting the big win they needed to qualify
had already been scuppered when
Ronaldo missed a sequence of excellent
chances in the second half.

……
…
Centre forward: Mario Balotelli (Italy) .
Having scored the winner against England, "Supermario" followed up with two ineffective performances in losses to
Costa Rica and Uruguay. He missed two
good early chances against the Central
Americans which could have sent Italy's
campaign in a completely different
direction. The maverick striker did not
help his cause by filling a Panini album
with stickers of himself after the England
game and posting a photograph of it on
his Facebook page. Daniele De Rossi said
after Italy's elimination: "We need real
men, not Panini stickers or characters.
