Chicharito tops World Cup poll but he doesn't have Twitter

Mexico's top goalscorer in South Africa, Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez has topped a Mitofsky poll which asked Mexicans to rate each player's performance.

New Manchester United player Chicharito scored two goals in the tournament and received an evaluation of 8.8 out of 10.

Barcelona player Rafael Marquez got 8.7 marks, the same as Tottenham Hotspur's Giovani Dos Santos. Ironically both players are unsure as to where they will be playing in a matter of weeks.

Rumours suggest Marquez could be moving to Galatasaray while the latest club to express an interest in Dos Santos is Blackburn Rovers.

At the bottom of the table, the much maligned Guillermo Franco scored a 7.1 out of 10 with Mexican fans, just below Paul Aguilar (7.4) and Ricardo Osorio (7.5) who made that grave mistake against Argentina. The average score was 7.7.

Seventy-two percent of Mexicans said they watched the game against South Africa 64% the one against France, 62 % against Uruguay and 68 percent the game against Argentina.

Mexico officially finished in 14th place in FIFA's assessment of the World Cup, but have slipped seven places down the rankings from 17th to 24th spot. The United States is in 13th and Paraguay in 16th.

In this blog's poll, a massive 68 percent of voters thought Chicharito was Mexico's best player, followed by Carlos Salcido (11%), Giovani dos Santos (6%) and Rafa Marquez (5%).

And, in case you were wondering, Chicharito doesn't have Twitter, as this photo seems to suggest:
