No final 4 England,I'm sorry!!!:wink2: who will you call instead of Rooney?

He'll be back for the final!!;)

Owen's back already!!:)

Owen's back already!!:)

 

ok, at least some good news..

seeing the media today, you'd think it was a one man team!!

I sometimes get really fed up of the british media. There are god knows how many men in that squad. What a brilliant way to keep their attitude up, by telling them that without Rooney they're useless. We may have a marginally less chance of winning the world cup, but there are plenty of other people on that team who can play amazing football. The sooner we stop idolising individual players the more likely the team as a whole will have a more positive frame of mind.

I agree to a certain extent, but us losing Rooney is a bit like Brazil losing Ronaldinho..............................................he's that good!

 

And that's twice now that he's had his foot broken by a Portuguese defender!!

I reckon there should be an investigation!!:P

I don't think god has played for a long time' date=' not since they stopped playing in sandals :\[/quote']

 

The God I'm on about plays for pool........

Oh, yeah - I forgot about him.........................Robbie "Hallelujah" Fowler!!:P

Rooney definitely will be a big loss for the team, I cant think about who really could replace him. Still I agree that it is negative for the confidence of the players, if everyone says that they have no chance without him.

What about Crouch and Vassell? Don't you think they both can replace Owen and Rooney? Ok, not really, but a tournament like a World Cup is always a chance for young players to become a great player, as Rooney did 2004 in Portugal. I also think England has the best midfield players of all 32 nations. Beckham, Gerrard and Lampard are amazing! If the forwards don't score then it will be the midfield. ;)

Comparing Crouch and Vassell to Owen and Rooney is a bit like comparing Coldplay to Wolfgang Petry or Gareth Gates. Get the picture??:P

LMAO! :lol:

 

Well, but later they both will score at least 5 goals in the tournament and you'll have new football heros on your island. ;) I bet it...

In 2 months you will think "Damn, I should have heard on Larry!", while I'm swimming in a pool of many €-coins. :P

There's about as much chance of that happening as of Olli Kahn winning a beauty contest!!:P

Anyone think fowler is worthy of a call up?

Nope - he's past his best unfortunately!!:(

Well, what about Danny Murphy? He's still one of my favourite players in the Premier League as he played at Liverpool and later for Charlton. Do you think he would be a good man for England's squad? Or isn't he as good as before?

:D

No - he isn't. Plus he doesn't deserve it for walking out on Charlton like a petulant kid!!:angry:

He was useless for Spurs today, too!

Oh, what did he do? :shocked2:

Nope - he's past his best unfortunately!!:(

 

 

He's improving though, alot better than crouch anyway. Next season will be fowler season....... He'd be good on the bench to poach a goal.

Oh' date=' what did he do? :shocked2:[/quote']

 

He said he didn't want to play for Charlton any more and insisted on moving to Spurs, saying they were a "bigger club". I have no respect for anyone like that.......................:angry:

Perhaps - but far too late for this summer!!;)

Oh, that's awful! :( Didn't he want to move directly from Liverpool to the Spurs before he decided to go to Charlton Athletic?

I think he had a choice and went for Charlton at the time. He should at least have waited till the end of the season. It ruined our chances of doing anything....................:angry:
