Maybe there are some other games, like Eintracht Frankfurt & Burkina Faso where he actually does play really well and I've just missed them.
He was one of their best players in 2010. Its all relative to competition. Messi hasn't impressed in bog competitions either and hes the best player in the world. Same can be said of Ronaldo. Its not about him playing down to the competition, its the competition shutting them down on a higher level. As an American I am resigned to the USA not making the knock out round.
