Everyone has their thoughts on who's underperforming or dissapointing, but who have been the early gems of WC2010 so far? Everyone knows about Messi etc etc, but guys from smaller nations need to get their due. I've watched nearly every match and I've been extremely impressed with these gents. IMO they've risen to the occasion and have been really good for their teams.
Jong Tae-Se: North Korea.
Made world class defenders work hard. Was awesome against the Greeks in the warmups as well. I'm very impressed at how he can hold his own physically against big defenders
Vincent Enyeama: Nigeria
Been keeping his team in games. Sure he made one mistake but has stuffed so many shots that he had no business keeping out.
Magid Bougherra(Sp?)-Algeria
Sure he plays for Rangers and has spent time in the low leagues but he's done a good job for his country.
