Which US players were the most disappointing in this 2006 World Cup?

[beaveman]

The US team had several poor performances this World Cup. Who do you think were the worst contributers?

Without question Donovan.

Until the Dempsey goal, its no doubt Beasley. But he redeemed himself a little there.

Overall, I was most disappointed in Donovan to be honest.

[BetterThanChivas]

I say Mastroeni (he always disappoints me), Donovan and Beas.

Many won't agree with me, but I also thought Brian McBride was disappointing.

[montgjules]

Donovan, agreed. He could have made several good things happen in both games and seemed to make the wrong choice. I'm no longer worried about LA getting him back.

I'm with you on this one. I thought McBride was pretty much a non-factor, even though he got three stitches. Granted he didn't receive much good service, but still. C'mon.

I was debating whether or not to vote McBride as well, but figured it's hard to be the lone man up top in a 4-5-1 formation, especially when your teammates (Donovan, Reyna, Beasley) aren't getting you the ball.

This point can also be seen with how RSL did with the 4-5-1 last year.

[SoccerPrime]

Let's be serious here. When your the lone forward in a retarded 4-5-1 formation and your smothered by 3 defenders at all times, your not going get much done, ever.

And please, someone, explain why we NEVER saw John O'Brien, even when we needed him most?

Fools...

He played in the first match, but the gamble on his fitness didn't pay off.
