I dont like players with Rooney's attitude - where he thinks he can kick seven shades of sh*t out of a defender and then complain for getting sent off for it.
Cristiano Ronaldo has improved ten fold since joining Man Utd, Rooney was superb at Everton and remains so at Man Utd, but Ronaldo could become even better - they are the best two young players on the planet without doubt - and in terms of their current ability, Rooney is the better of the two, but that fuse will cost him big time.
If the campaign to get divers out of the Premiership is so big then, perhaps the following should find new clubs, and pronto:
Drogba, Gerrard, Owen, Baros, Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Henry (Spain game anyone?), Crouch (saw him dive for a penalty earlier this year), Lennon (constantly hitting the deck), Savage, Boa Morte, Malbranque, Scholes, Park, Heskey (well, no longer Premiership...), Mendieta, Yakubu, etc etc.
One hell of a quality league that would be without those lads.
Diving is as much part of the English game as anywhere else, in fact, Leeds introduced it to these shores in the 70s, so dont suggest its a foreign thing.
). Telling rooney he needs a "good clip around the ear". Now he's compaining about how England are playing. What's it to him how a team sets out their tactics? You don't see him complaining about Italy & their dodgy affairs - not to mention equally defensive footy, or the racism hurled at the France team by the spanish crowd the other day. Yeah anyway, got a bit carried away their lol... this threads really making me rant a lot
