Sofascore, a data website that rates players' performance in every game of the World Cup, recently summarized the worst 11-player lineup for the group stage, with Portuguese superstar Cron accounting for one seat, reflecting the fact that the scorer is a late bloomer and is no longer as good as he was back in the day.
Cron only scored 1 goal and 12 yards in 3 group stage matches, and made a lot of incidents, including the Uruguay game, claiming that his hair into the game, and the last game against South Korea, was replaced with the opponent Cho Kyu-sung had a verbal altercation.
According to Sofascore's calculations, Cron's average rating for the three group games he played was only 6.37, and he formed the worst forward line with Qatari striker Aymols Ali.
It is worth mentioning that the worst 11-member squad in this group stage, except for Cron, the other 10 players are all unknown, including 4 Qatari internationals, which is even more embarrassing for Cron.
