Funny thing is he will bag 50+ goals in the next 2 seasons and then once we get to world cup won't do fuck all, its not surprising really to me because he hasnt done anything in an international final except get sent off

He hasn't been good internationally since 2004.
He's still world class.

"World Class" to me is someone who succeeds at every level of football, Rooney doesnt fit this as he is poor internationally.
He's no Shearer thats for sure.

i see 'world class' as somebody who you would pick to represent earth in a match against another planet, that means 22 players - for me rooney would be in that squad, not a starter mind

Ofcourse he was, he carried the welsh team for years and played well whereas rooney is shit for england. Edit: Plus i never said you had to win trophys to be world class i just think you should perform as you always do. |

Think I would consider Ashley Cole in that squad, but no one else English. |

Can't be fucked to read through previous messages but can imagine the general theme. To be fair to him, he didn't have a lot of football coming in to the tournament as Roy needed to work out a plan B and so he's naturally looked a little rusty.
That said tonight he was just dog-shit as was his United team-mate Young and Walcott (did he do anything?).

For someone who was brought on for pace, I can't remember a single time he beat his marker. |
