you should all be one team either way, could do with Bale and Ramsey in your side, might have a chance of achieving something with #SuperiorWales players
Oi, Meier!
England play Italy first, then Uruguay and then Costa Rica. They're going to have to turn up or their fucked, probably by goal difference too.

Because I believe we'd play better and perform better as a team - because football, my sweet Linny, is a team game - if Rooney didn't play in the position he does.

Rooney is a Manchester United legend, soon to be all time top scorer and your captain. You would do well to show some respect, hairless cuntflap.

Yeah football is a team game. Which is why its fucking dumb to single out somebody who scored 17 league goals rather than your league one standard wingers or your ancient centrebacks who have the turning circle of a blue whale after a sunday roast or your hilariously average midfielders
If it's a team game, why is everyone pooping on Rooney?
I ain't saying he's been shit hot either.

Because I call them all shit. Everyone else agrees that the wingers, the midfield and the centre backs are shit. They don't agree that Rooney is shit. Therefore I call him shit more.

Read yesterday he has asked United not to appoint LVG as he doesnt like his hardline approach or something. No idea if its true - the article also said that RVP would get captaincy if LVG went to United, Rooney to Chelsea back on?
Diego Costa asap plz, get me Benzema and Cavani too Roman
1-0 down and Cahill sent off. That'd be quite the 1st min.

What exactly is your point here? Rooney is better at one-on-ones?
Turn the question into 'you're picking an England team for a WC final and you can only have one striker, who do you pick' and the answer for me becomes Sturridge, by a distance.
Fuck's sake, ordered Bravely Default to play in the car tomorrow, won't get here in time though

On current form yes, however i believe sturridge is more of a team player, ie running into space, passing etc. however rooney is capable of being an individual talent, and creating a chance. In a squad as guileless as england, rooney will most likely get the nod.
In my professional opinion, england would be better served by old school shit team tactics, 11 players perpetually running, pressing and tackling. Otherwise they will get rekt.
I think Rooney is a better finisher in general, consistently, over a longer period of time, and I'd definitely prefer him as a lone striker.
Sturridge is great, he's quick, has much better control of the ball at his feet and stretches defences, but I wouldn't rely on him, he blows hot and cold. Not that Rooney doesn't, but even Rooney on a bad day adds something to the team.
Great season though. Should both probably start if the formation calls for it, but if there's only room for one up top... I'd prefer Sturridge off the bench against tired legs.
Crouch is the goat, he had a better scoring record internationally then Ronaldo for a long time. He'd probably have just as many goals as Rooney for England if he had the same volume of games.

Fack Rooney
Good player. Been utterly shite for England like the rest of the golden generation.
Going to bake in Brazil. And then Lewis gets his hands on him. Oh yes.

When has he showed that individual talent for Engand though?
Call me a twat, but the goals he scores for England are goals I'd expect any striker to score, and he brings nothing to the team other than said goals.
Out of interest, how many games has he played in international tournaments since he scored? I don;t think he's scored one since Euro 2004, but he was injured for a hefty chunk of our tournaments since then.
Work hard or whine and ask for a transfer request? My guess is he'll do the latter.
u wot m8
Contento is going to start for sure, as birthday and farewell present. He's going to Napoli apparently

Bender is constantly injured, Kehl as well, Gündogan might be dead, Subotic just comes back from a 6-month-injury and Friedrich is gone. Why would we loan out a ~10m signing?
