Not great so far for Schweinsteiger and Mueller. The Dutch of course have collectively flopped, although I thought Wesley Sneijder still looked good.
On the flip side, Ronaldo looks better here than I've seen him in past tournaments. Özil has continued the excellence he showed in South Africa. Gerrard and Ribery look better, especially Gerrard who is a contender for Best XI of the Tournament. Ashley Cole remains arguably the best left-back on show. England clearly are fielding a better keeper and support striker this time.
