The points for Heskey and Upson do seem a tad high. Alright Upson had a reasonable game against Slovenia but against the Germans???

Quite a few discrepancies for me. I would have rated Cole and Johnson higher than all the centre backs. SWP rated far too high and Joe Cole too low.
It says a lot that the 2 players whose stock has risen most since the WC seem to be Hart (who didn't get a game) and Adam Johnson (who wasn't even in the squad)!

Not playing for England was far better for your reputation.
