iceFatboy SG I find it strange the rooney is blame when the bottomline, We have two captains, SteveG and Frank Lampard, and even a designated kicker in JamieC who can't score in the shootout. like the germans, you score, you win.
798 SG England pinned high hope on looney, wif high expectation turned out that this kid could not control his temper well and falling into his club mate's trick. england nvr good in pk shootout anyway so not the lads' faults. England's downfall is due to SGE, Rooney and Lampard.
JLennon SG Sigh..... didn't expect Lampard to miss that penalty as well as not getting on the score sheet. A scoring Lampard (with all the chances he had in this WC) would have made him contender for MoM in all England's games.
iceFatboy SG at least one thing, 798, england left after Argentina.. your team did not do so well in the PK shootout too, you know.
anhydrouscoppersulphate SG oh pls jamie c isnt even a penalty taker at liverpool. thats because england s.u.c.k so much until they dun have a good penalty taker
anhydrouscoppersulphate SG i thgt a lot of ppl say he is england's "best player". everytime ingerland fans will hao lian about rooney one. since he is the "best player" then he should be the one who shine
edi_77777 SG Rooney should be partly blamed... He's a kid afterall and esp when a teammate trying to get him send off, the fustration of being a lone striker just blow him up.. n that we have to point finger at Eriksson.. HE should be blamed instead... HE did nothing for the past 5yrs in charge.. Last 8 for the past 3 major tournament is a big flop considering the time he have to build the team up.. HE's lucky to have 1 of the best England team for a long time but he just blew it... Guess he is spending more time what to do what the money the FA is giving him after the WC.. I blamed no players, but the manager really sucks..
suckthumb.com SG all past and present World Player of The World didn't light up the WC too, didn't they?
798 SG but i'm proud of wat argentina boys have done, attacking until last mins even the attackers were gone. even though have to lose this way, at least not too bad!
reyes SG why we can blame rooney? 1. he got pay thouands of pounds a week just to play soccer. as such any mistake he should answer for his critics and performance. especially when nmost of those who pay for his high salary arent earning enough to juts buy a ticket to watch him play. 2. the whole of england waited for his recovery. yet all he do is to dash the hope of all england fans around the world by pushing his own teammates away. could you believe it? a professional like him should know once on the field they should play for their team and not friendship. guess this rooney cant differentiate the 2. dont blame ronaldo. just blame the stupidity of rooney. 3. yes he was shackle by 2 or more defender for most his game. but that part and parcel of being a branded football player. beating defender and scoring goals are his duty. half blame go to erikson, when rooney was mark our by 2 defender, there should be a free man somewhere to score goals. where are these man? simply tactical error by erikson. i guess he is better off F%^**( his model gf and talking to shiek than soccer. F%^&% sorrow display by england.
