8) Pepe (Portugal)
A solid defensive player considered key to Portugal’s hopes of progressing in this tournament, Pepe has done little but let his country down so far, living up to his reputation as a hot-head with a red card in just his first game of the competition. Ten-man Portugal then went on to lose 4-0 to Germany and will face a real struggle to get into the knockout stages of the World Cup. For one with such experience at the top level with Champions League winners Real Madrid, Pepe should really have done better to keep his cool and show his importance for Portugal here.
