Rooney

[Mark TKO]

you could go back further

1998 - shocking sending off decision
1996 - width of the post, twice
1990 - a deflected goal and penalties in a game we dominated
1986 - hand ball
1982 - never lost a game

its inches that haven't fallen our way

true you need a bit of luck - Italy were shite in the group stages of 82 and got three draws ((I think - can't be arsed googling to check). Then unbelievably they go on to beat one of the greatest Brazilian teams of all time. Italy were again nothing special when they won the trophy again in 2006.

1996 - still can't believe how Gazza's foot didn't connect for that golden goal..........

But we've been awful in the last 3, never ,mind luck, and there's no hiding from that

Rooney's time is not up yet I feel but it soon will be. If someone's better than him then they start instead - simple
