I'd rather stick a mobile phone up my arse than vote for anyone other than Ashley Cole.

It's indicative of how utterly w@nk the English team were that someone who just didn't really make any mistakes seems to be the clear winner on this.

David James.

Could have been 8 v Germany.

Did the easy things well.

It does pain me greatly, but Cashley was the only real constant throughout...

Presumably if the game had been completely different.

Cole by the same distance there was between Terry and Upson for most of Sunday.

It would have been Cashley by default or Carrick because he didn't play but I thought Cole was really bad v Germany so the vote goes to Gerrard for at least trying in each of the games.

I don't think anyone involved with the England set-up comes out of the tournament with their reputation enhanced, so the best thing I can think to say of Ashley is that he was the least worst.

I don't believe there was one, but Gerrard had a superb first game getting forward, defending and scoring a goal, so he got my vote.

Cashley was 'ok' but didn't look anything like the Chelsea left back we know who gets forward and puts the crosses in. Very average in a very below average England team.

A Cole: In most games, due to the lack of an orthodox left winger, he was often doing the job of two men on the left hand side. He also had to cover up for the absence of any pace in our back line. Hence why he rarely sparkled when he went forward

Roy Keane on his non-surprise that England got knocked out "Gerrard has been poor for Liverpool this season" "Rooney has yet to do it on the World stage"

He didn't mention Frank or Ashley. He did say JT was a bit dodgy though even though he won the double.

He must have missed the furore over the goal that never was, thus being unaware that Fwank had played

My vote goes to Joe Hart. He did not make a single mistake in the whole tournament. More telling would be who was the worst England player. I really can not think of a single player who can come out of the tournament with any credit.

I dislike A.Cole with a passion, but even I admit he was head-and-shoulders above every other player
