Christ you're an idiot. "I'm annoyed about a football match. I know, I'll assault a man in his mid sixties. Great!"
So what is it going to be? Lots complain about Rooney being on the left and lots of others complain about him being moved to the middle. Fact of the matter is that the team performed best in the match when he was on the left but he played better in the middle. So its a fine balance to strike.
And Italy and Uruguay aren't particularly sophisticated defensively. It's just that English football has a kick and rush culture that is too easy for experienced players to defend against.
