Forlan stars as hosts falter

With the first round of World Cup matches nw complete, who has shone in the South African sun?

For me, most impressive has been Diego Forlan. He ran the show in the first game for Uruguay and then topped that with a super show against the hosts, scoring two goals.

In other games, Robinho was instrumental in Brazil's win, Carlos Tevez outshone teammate Lionel Messi for Argentina, Mesut Ozil was the force behind Germany's 4-0 drubbing of Australia together with a good showing from Thomas Muller. Wesley Sneijder provided the guile and the work-rate for Netherlands 2-0 victory and Steven Gerrard had a rare good game for England.
