This entry is dedicated to 5 high profile players, who I believe deserve more credit than they get. You may(almost certainly) disagree with some of my choices, and I'm intrigued to hear the players you think fall into this category.

The criteria that I have set are that they need to be playing for a high profile team, and they are either overlooked by media and fans, or openly slated.

So here we go, strap in, I'm counting down from #5...

#5 - Tom Huddlestone,...

Welcome back for Part 2. Good to see you again. Let's get on with the show, starting with I...

...imports.It's what Britain has done for years... bringing in things from abroad when they can't provide it themselves *predicts witicism about England's cricket team*.

And now they call for Capello's head. What has happened to football in Britain? Why is sacking the manager the answer...

What can I say? After the first round of fixtures it's safe to say that we've had a dreadful start to the World Cup. The goals per game average was 1.5 after 16 games. Considering the record low is Italia '90 with 2.2, people's complaints about this World Cup potentially being the worst ever were hard to ignore.

There was promise, but a lot of teams understandably went with a defensive mindset, which was great for them because most of them came away with a point, but not great for...
