You mean the nice fat paychecks they donate to charity? England players haven't been keeping their match fees for years.

Wow they give their England paychecks to charity, I was actually commenting on their club paychecks, you'd think playing for their national team and representing their country would be more than enough. Just hope it's not performance related.
Compare them to the England Rugby Team who aren't paid anywhere near what the football team are a paid, either club or international, then you see pride in playing for your country. |

So Rooney is as good as Messi in major tournaments, that is good to hear, I presume you are going to have a moan at Messi as well?

They're clearly so full of pride in playing for their country that absolutely none of them forego their international careers by buggering off to France. For more money. What a lesson for our footballers. |

Haha I was trying to find a thread started by you. I couldn't find one. ![]() You could always make your very first thread ever on DS if it bothers you that much. ![]() Go on make a thread. It's only a bit of fun.

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'm more concerned Rooney hasn't got over the nervous breakdown he seemed to have at the last World Cup. He couldn't trap the proverbial bag of wet cement.

To be honest you can't really just single out Rooney in 2010, the whole team was rubbish.
(And he was injured). |

(And he was injured). And as I've enquired, how fit do you need to be to trap a ball - we are talking simple basic stuff here. |

Poor old Rooney picks up all the stick when England do badly - there are 10 other players.
What would happen if he scores but we lose 2-1? |
