I think Capello will be the scapegoat, putting Rooney in a position he doesn't feel comfortable with. Kinda drags down a player's motivation.

the way Rooney played in qualify in a similar position with the same strike partner, I dont think its that. I believe that theres too much talk of him having to tone down his temperant after the yellow card in the practice match and that tackle in the Japan friendly. Capello said he'll speak to him to make sure he doesnt get sent off.

That's part of his game - without that he seemed to cautious, almost scared to really get stuck in - so unlike him.

If a World cup can't motivate you, nothing can.

He played as a number 10 quite alot in his first seasons at United and did quite well.

That might be it, yeah, he seemed too afraid to even engage in a dual or anything. Plus when a chance popped up he didn't even feel the urge to attack full, as if he was afraid of the ball.

A pitty, though. Because the Americans are strong in duals, Rooney's temper would've been a valuable asset in today' s match.

Messi is overrated to me untill he cuts it in the premiership. Which he prob wont ever try to protect his status.

Ridiculous, idiotic, and simple minded statement, I suppose Zindane, the origonal Ronaldo and Maldini (3 best players of the past 20 years) are overrated because they never played in the Premiership?
La Liga, team for team and footballing wise, is the best league in the world

"Which he prob wont ever try to protect his status" why would he leave one of THE best attacking teams of all time and the best team in football at the moment to play in the Premiership?

PS:Wow,I didnt expect US to do this good with England

[OMEGA]

Tomorrow's games look kinda boring. Paraguay vs Italy on Monday is going to be one hell of a game though

Robert Green is one of my favourite goalkeepers but what the fuck was that the daft cunt cheeked fuck face

I agree somewhat with Killa.I think Messi is fantastic but the way people fap over his every step is quite annoying.i think he has a long way to go to become anywhere near as good as maradona.Great player tho

[xRas]

Just has to prove himself on the international stage

Amazing player.

[MikeNUFC]

I love the WC but there's not been one decent match so far. Maybe the opener, that's about it.

[xRas]

Yep.. i'm sure it will pick up as it goes along .. when they get used to the atmosphere an all.. loved the opener

[Sleepy]

first games are usually cautious and full of nerves and we have yet to see the 3 best teams in it
