It’s another round of World Cup Twitter trends, and we’re seeing some interesting stats on how fans are tweeting about their favorite teams, players, and arch rivals.

Similarly to last week’s stats, all of the national teams trended at some point in the past seven days, and 74 players hitTwitter’s top 10. And while some coaches and managers were trending last week, this is the first time that several referees were singled out, mostly with ire from fans over unfavorable calls.

We’ve also seen more Twitter action around certain World Cup groups where the matches have been more competitive. And interestingly, some of the most-tweeted teams are not the best ones. Often, they’re teams that have been eliminated from competition, followed by waves of disappointed tweets from heartbroken fans.

Below is the breakdown of the most-tweeted teams and players this week, graciously compiled by Liz Pullen ofWhat The Trend.

Remember, these rankings are not about team and player abilities, but reflect an aggregation of hotly discussed topics related to them.
