Guest The Three Lions Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 @ Rooney Good job we've got Defoe. I can't describe the face i pulled when i read that He's nee Leon Best or Kevin Doyle like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Three Lions Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 David Platt: 62 caps, 27 goalsWayne Rooney: 63 caps, 25 goals Platty was pretty lethal for England. Borin voice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TicTacWoe 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) and so the answer to this question was a defiant no. What on earth happened to him, didn't look unfit to me as some are saying, he didn't see much of the ball due to most of the other players playing shit as well but his work rate compared to his usual Man U performances wasn't there which I find very odd.

ewerk 31225 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 He just didn't seem to be arsed, which is normally the last thing you can say about Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4872 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I think he'll manage at least one mind depends how capello sets up though Capellos fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Problem Child 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 The number of times he’s chosen to shoot when he should have passed in this tournament is a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10972 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 The number of times he’s chosen to shoot when he should have passed in this tournament is a disgrace. You could tell Rooney was frustrated as he'd go ages without the ball and when it did land at his feet he'd feel the need to "make his mark", fuck up and then not see it again for 5 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6785 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) He looked unfit to me. His touch was appalling. HUGE disappointment. Edited June 27, 2010 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6785 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Messi hasnt scored yet and Ronaldo only has 1. Both looked better than the fat granny shagger though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 He looked unfit to me. His touch was appalling. HUGE disappointment. This, in a nutshell. I wonder if present-day players have had it drummed into them by their club managers that the clubs are much more important than playing for their country. That the clubs are their bread & butter and the Champions League is better than international football. In short, that playing for England aint all that.

TicTacWoe 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 On a side note, Champions league is better quality than the WC in my opinion completely agree, this is a lot to do with the fact the best players in the world are from a much wider number of countries now so the best international teams are rarely as good as the best club teams added to the fact that the international squads don't play with each other week in week out.

Dr Gloom 22185 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) i never thought rooney would as shite as he has been. that's two world cups he hasn't turned up for now. at least last time he had the excuse of being unfit.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 On a side note, Champions league is better quality than the WC in my opinion That's what I'm saying. That in the past representing your country was the pinnacle of your career, now players that have 30+ Champions League appearances look down on it.

That in the past representing your country was the pinnacle of your career, now players that have 30+ Champions League appearances look down on it. To be fair though, I still think that winning a World Cup is considered completing a career. Like, everyone is saying Messi wont be considered a legend until he leads Argentina to a World Cup, like Maradona did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 He looked unfit to me. His touch was appalling. HUGE disappointment. A few of the side didn't look fit. Barry looks nowhere near full match fitness. If we were going to do anything we needed players fully fit and near top form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 He's lost that spark, the edge he used to have. He never goes on mazy runs anymore or really runs at people. His game used to be all about pace, movement, unpredictability and flair. He might be a better team player now - as well as being more refined, but he's not the maverick we saw as an 18 year old. He's also lost a yard or two of pace as well. He's still class, but I much preferred his playing style as an 18 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
