FIFA World Cup 2014 - GROUP D [Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy - 14/19/20/24 June] **spoilers**

I just saw the Chamberlain incident replayed in slo-mo, if that was an Italian player I'm sure the public reaction would be of a somewhat different nature ;-)

We were good at points tonight but will get taken to pieces by a decent team.

I would like to see the strongest team go out against Honduras at the weekend so we get an idea of how good we actually are.

Still don't think Rooney should start either.
 
I notice how that soppy ****, Wilshire, still hasn't shaken off the inner-ear problem that causes him to spend more time on the ground than he does on the ball.

Wilshire will be do a Joe Cole or Michael Owen in that his best years will be behind him by the time he is 27/28

Looks like his best years are behind him already to be honest. He hasn't looked on his game for ages, even for Arsenal.

What's with all the scum comments? :confused:

If it had been any other Ecuador player there wouldn't be a problem.

Bitter Liverpool fans :rolleyes:
 
"Ox" and "ligament damage" all over the news this morning...


Hope he doesn't miss out. Would be a shame for him and fans alike - he was decent last night.

When you consider that Ronaldo/Messi are scoring 2-3 times that amount of very similar amounts a week now, then yes 19 goals when you're on 300k a week is rather poor. Multiple players get in that 15-20 goal a season bracket and most of them are on 50-150k depending on the club, what makes Rooney stand out as a 300k a week player, nothing at all basically. Maybe it's when he drops deep, insists on being given the ball and then gifting it back to the opposition.

You're going to score more for utd than if he was playing for Cardiff, Stoke or even Spurs. Rooney has in the league only had 3 seasons in 10 in which he's scored more than 1 goal every 2 games.

he's an okay striker, he's a poor playmaker, he is relatively good on the left wing.

In his first few years he got the ball and would run towards goal, pace and power, not based on technical skill(he's not a step over to beat a player type guy, he's a "i'm heavier than you and running at pace and you'll bounce off me" type of guy). he's looked very good as a striker up top NOT dropping deep all the time, he looked great wide left, with Ronaldo wide right, with Tevez or Berbatov as the central player both wide men played off. As the number 10, he looks ineffective and poop.

He plays for Utd, the consistently best team in the league the entire time he's been with them. Take any striker and stick them in that team and they'll score a decent amount.

As for his goals in world cup qualifying, again, it's due to being played, not being exceptionally good. Crouch scored a buttload for England as well, qualifiers are against mostly woeful teams and regardless of which striker started most of those games they'd score a pretty decent number of goals.

You do talk some arse sometimes.

He's scored and created mores league goals than Suarez and Aguero two out of the last three seasons.
In 13 goals time, he will be the 2nd highest goal scorer in premier league history.
 
Ox injured again...one of the standby lads can be brought in can't they?

Not that I can remember who's on that list like....I'd bring Flanagan in myself, free Milner to player wide and well he's a dashing young fellow with fantastic cheekbones.

*swoon*
