World Cup 2014

[Mark TKO]

well I've just woke up after a heavy night - marred by Italian defeat

I wasn't expecting anything from england this time but we didn't deserve to lose that.

Going to be tough to get through now but based on that performance it's definitely possible

Half a Liverpool team is good, but players like Rooney and a bunch of tattoo'ed or bearded meat heads are not. England looked better than I thought they would because of the Liverpool players, but Rooney really is looking a relic and take away the hair would look older than the manager. I have no idea why he is still there. The England team like the UK would be helped by a program of limited immigration. 2 foreigners per team would allow more English players to get their chance and improve, just as controlled immigration would help British people compete and reduce demands on a collapsing welfare state.

England can still qualify, but a lot to do now.

England would be mad to drop rooney, he's a suoer talent and always has been, even when he isn't playing well he still has the ability to whack it in from 30 yards out or barge through the defence and poke it in.. Rooney is a top class player(and I dont like saying that about english players).

France are smashing Honduras.

[armin]

Lets go bosnia, silly own goal other than that holding up well

Here we go, last game of the night and probably the one I think will be the best. Argentina and all their stars against a good workmanlike side with a top striker, Dzeko, up front. Hopefully the goals keep flowing for this world cup.

What has Rooney done on the international stage where he hasnt had players from all over the globe placed around him to accomodate him like at club level?

What is this? His 3rd world cup? Hes done. He never was world class, this is the stage where you see world class. He has no co confidence with the ball.

he was supreme in euro 2004 till his foot broke and that wasn't down to who he was playing with .. the guy was just brilliant then.. he is also coming up for 40 goals for england... thats not bad.. I think you'd have to be mad to think rooney isnt something special.

Rooneys acheivements?

What special moments has he had for england. Im not. Football fan but even me when thinking of a special moment for an england player I can remember the free kick Beckham had against Greece.

Rooney is premiership hype. He needs thos players that cost hundreds of millions around him to play.

On the other hand, England let players like Matt Le Tissier who had game changing skills just slip. Had Matt Le Tissier been allowed to play for england by Hoddle in 98 England may well have won the tournamet because they had something special.

Even the french wanted Le Tiss. Gerard Houllier was calling Le Tiss dad and asking him to play for France in 90. Hoddle wanted to pay a world record fee for Le Tiss to move to Chelsea but that smae player who he thougt was worth a world record fee was suddenly not worth helping his country actually win a world cup.

Rooney is shit. The biggest headlines he has are having a blowjob from a granny and am elton john hair transplant. Football? World cup? What?

[armin]

Ha, long as I suspected I seem to be the only Bosnian born forum poster, well 2-1 loss to Argentina no shame in that me thinks. Wish I didn't have to work for the Germany Portugal game tomorrow should be fun

I don't agree with the stuff about rooney at all, I think he's top class and always has been, he's scored some great goals with no help from his team mates, scored v top teams, scored in the champions league final so I think he's pretty good.. I'd be very happy if england dropped him though !

Le tissier was a very interesting player, I have never watched the english league regulary and I have only watched his you tube highlight videos... but they are great videos, he certainly had something special.. He has his pick of playing for any of the uk teams too , shoudl have come to scotland we would have made him defend !
