The 2010 World Cup was not a tournament for Wayne Rooney to remember: he failed to score a single goal and his England side were embarassed by Germany in the second round. Now, to add insult to injury, members of the website Beautifulpeople.com have named Wayne the ugliest player to have played at the finals.

Rooney pipped France winger Franck Ribery and former Manchester United team-mate Carlos Tevez to the "award", while the site's 200,000 surveyed users voted Fabio Cannavaro, ahead of Fernando Torres and David Villa, as the World Cup's most attractive player.

"Collectively, the worst looking team is Algeria," said Greg Hodge, managing director of Beautifulpeople.com. "The term 'trophy head' could have been coined for most of their team.

"England follows close behind, captained [sic] by the most unattractive player on the planet, Wayne Rooney. The England team do have very beautiful wives and girlfriends, but this is surely due to their bank accounts which certainly makes them a lot more attractive."

The Top 11 ugliest were as follows:

1, Wayne Rooney, England
2, Franck Ribery, France
3, Carlos Tevez, Argentina
4, Vladimir Stojkovic, Serbia
5, Benjamin Huggel, Switzerland
6, Zdenko Strba, Slovakia
7, Rafik Saifi, Algeria
8, Scott Chipperfield, Australia
9, John Terry, England
10, Ryan Nelsen, New Zealand
11, Daniel Agger, Denmark

And these were the Top 11 "most beautiful" players:

1, Fabio Cannavaro, Italy
2, Fernando Torres, Spain
3, David Villa, Spain
4, Landon Donovan, USA
5, Thierry Henry, France
6, Edinson Cavani, Uruguay
7, Kaka, Brazil
8, Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal
9, Didier Drogba, Ivory Coast
10, Keisuke Honda, Japan
11, David James, England
