The Shit Squad

We asked our Asian broker, a UEFA administrator, our publishers and a former Norwegian international to choose the worst players, referee and manager at the World Cup in Brazil.

The selections were made based on matchfixing, links to insider trading bookmakers and/or agents, motivational deficiencies and lack of professionalism.

Here is what they came up with...
... the Shit Squad.

Manager Roy Hodgson (England)

Goalkeepers Hart (England), Rui Patricio (Portugal), Casillas (Spain)

Defenders Jagielka (England), David Luiz (Brazil), Pepe (Portugal), Assou Ekotto (Cameroon), Johnson (England), Ramos (Spain), Baines (England)

Midfielders W. Palacios (Honduras), Gerrard (England), Song (Cameroon), Katsouranis (Greece), Henderson (England), Fernandinho (Brazil), Luiz Gustavo (Brazil), Meireles (Portugal), Alonso (Spain)

Forwards Fred (Brazil), Suarez (Uruguay), Nani (Portugal), Boateng (Ghana)

Referee Carballo (Spain)

12 of the squad played in the English Premier League last season (9 in Liverpool or Manchester!).

The EPL - the best league on the planet?
