Fans vote Fred Brazil's worst!

Sao Paulo - A new poll published on Friday makes it official: Fans feel that striker Fred is the worst player on Brazil's Soccer World Cup squad.

The respected Datafolha polling group says that for 21 percent of the close to 3 000 people questioned, the Fluminense forward is the Brazilian team's worst player. Nine percent said striker Hulk, and six percent said defender Dani Alves, who was removed from the starting line-up for Fridays' quarter-final against Colombia.

No surprise: For 56 percent of the respondents, striker Neymar is the team's best player. Goalkeeper Julio Cesar is a distant second with 10 percent.

Datafolha questioned 2 857 people, and the poll has a margin of error of two percentage points.
