Though he finished with a winners medal, Torres had a poor tournament, failing to score after a club season in which he netted 18 goals in 22 Premier League games for Liverpool 2) Wayne Rooney COUNTRY: England WORLD CUP: 2010 WHAT HAPPENED? 2009-10 was going so well for Rooney until Mario Gomez trod on his ankle in March.
