Fabio Capello has published his controversial 'Capello Index' ratings of England's World Cup displays - with Jermain Defoe the star performer.
He was eventually persuaded to shelve that idea, as it was decided that scores should not be handed out until the tournament was over.
That time has now come and, with England having fared dismally on the world stage, the results have been eagerly anticipated.
The ratings, which are used in a fantasy league game, make for intriguing reading, with Capello's taking on events in South Africa raising a few eyebrows.
Unsurprisingly, Robert Green's horror show in England's opener against the United States, in which he let a tame Clint Dempsey shot slip through his grasp, sees him finish bottom of the pile when it comes to the Three Lions.
Joe Cole and Gareth Barry also failed to impress their boss, while Wayne Rooney's average score over the course of the four games he played was topped by the much-maligned Emile Heskey.
Of those at the opposite end of the scale, Defoe takes the spoils as England's most effective performer, while Shaun Wright-Phillips and national skipper Steven Gerrard also escaped the wrath of their coach.
It is, however, worth pointing out that Defoe's average score of 62.47 still falls some way short of the 65.77 awarded to Uruguay's talismanic frontman Diego Forlan, the man rated as the best player at the tournament by Capello.
