There is a lot of pressure on Rooney to do well and he will be a target for the opposition just like Beckham in '98. I hope he does well and can keep his head together and not let other players wind him up. Anyone else worried he could get sent off during a World Cup game.

I don't personally support the current England team but I do think they would be better off without Wayne Rooney. It surprises me that his non a performances have been tolerated and excused for so long.

Non performances such as him being England's top scorer in qualification, being his team's top scorer and the fact that he is approaching the all time scoring records for both club and country?

Phil Neville was correct in his assessment of the situation,

Who said that? Personally I wouldn't include him in any England squad. I think they are better without him. That's my opinion which I'm entitled to.
At least those lads would show passion and would run their hearts out for the shirt. Who needs skill and top-level experience? |

Surely he'll only be correct if Rooney has a half decent WC?
Nope he's correct now, he's not guaranteeing anything, just stating what should be the obvious, there should be no doubts over Rooney's inclusion in the team, and that there seems to be a witchhunt, like there always is with England. |

I agree. In fact, I'd ditch all of the over-paid Premier League primadonnas and just pick players from League 2 and the Conference.

Yep. We can't have anyone who has not performed in international tournaments, even if they are clearly our best players, so we have to drop the lot of them.

I wonder if there are Argentinian and Portugese equivalents of Digispy where their fans are having the same discussions about Messi & Ronaldo and their previous WC records...

I don't think Messi sings the anthem, so wouldn't surprise me.

I get that its hard to judge a player who may not be playing against the top players, but I'd rather have a team who actually want to be there and will try their hardest, than a team of PL superstars, who will get their nice fat paychecks wether they try or not. Greece proved it's not the players it's the whole team. |

I've often thought why we don't take players from the Championship, a team that has a England player gets relegated from the PL so is no longer picked for the national squad. Same if a team gets promoted, one season their not in contention, next they are!!
