World Cup 2014

[ross]

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).

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?

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

how did it go ? I started drinking during the france game so i fell asleep at halftime of the argy game, I woke up when messi had just scored then slept again... Was a bit of a lucky goal for the argies in the first half and they weren't dominating at all..

Bosnia scored a self goal in the first three minutes so was a shit start, which ended up being the decider, a draw against Argentina would have been great. Think they have a very good chance against Iran and Nigeria on that form, seem to lack a bit in the speed department. Really look forward to Holland playing again, they seem to consistently have one of the funnest teams to watch. Ha and come on who drinks and falls asleep in the daytime, if you drink in the day time you stay up!

On a totally random note my biggest dealing with the World cup will be the parking situation tomorrow. We have a Haitian owned Taxi station-restaurant as neighbors and apparently they stop runs at gametime...and call fellow fleets of cabbies . I'll be the guy walking into the building holding a list of cab #'s that need to move asap out of our lot so our clients can park and yelling GOOOAAAAAALLLL ....and please don't stab me kind sirs.

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 !

Whats Rooney done for England? Missed the goal.

Scored 39 times. 10 short of Charlton's record. Will likely break it.

Rooney hasn't become the player we hoped he would at 18, but he is still a world class player. The only people that don't think so are a section of part time England fans.

He can be frustrating, I'm not a huge fan particularly but you are really have to be blinkered to not see his quality.

[Mark TKO]

I agree with Shearer - he has to play as centre forward or not at all.

Or a two pronged attack with Sturridge ?

You can't drop Sturridge so what do you do.

Roy's one mistake was retiring Ashley Cole - as much as I hate him

Play Rooney with Sturridge up front, drop Wellbeck and play Lianna. Sterling on the right.

Or keep the same team as Uruguay are not as good as Italy.

[El Kabong]

England really miss Theo Walcott right now, the pace you guys could have had with a lineup of

LW: Sterling ST: Sturridge RW: Walcott
CAM: Rooney
LM: Hendo/Milner RM: Gerrard
LB: Baines CB: whoever you have RB: Johnson/Flano
GK: Hart


SPEED paired with the passing of Gerrard, workrate of Hendo/Milner...would have been tough to stop

[armin]

Pretty goal to open by the us hopefully it's enough
