Japan's Football Channel Names Most Disappointing World Cup Squad Including Ronaldo and Son Heung-min
Japanese football website 'football channel' has selected the most disappointing 11-man lineup from the recently concluded USA-Canada-Mexico World Cup. The list includes high-profile stars Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) and Son Heung-min (South Korea), alongside Takefusa Kubo (Japan). The website criticized Ronaldo's lack of accuracy and speed, noting his failure to impact Portugal's crucial match against Spain. Son Heung-min was highlighted for failing to meet expectations, with poor shooting statistics and early substitution in key group stage matches, contributing to South Korea's group stage elimination. The lineup also features midfielders Federico Valverde, Aleksandar Pavlovic, and Bruno Fernandes, defenders Lucas Digne, Josko Gvardiol, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Danilo, and goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
