Rooney sums it up!

[strings]

I'll be honest, I think that Rooney has been better for England than he has for Manchester United for over a year. Take the Brazil game as an example. Rooney had a terrible night, and suddenly scored a worldy. He always seems to have the ability to do something for England whereas for Manchester United he doesn't seem to click.

If he can't play this weekend for united they weren't gonna let him play for England were they, he probably had concussion as well so wouldn't be able to train let alone play

Playing with a fresh cut is much easier than playing with one a few days old and the skin in the forehead is pretty tight and any header would have more than likely ripped the stitches apart..

Surely he could have worn a protective headgear sorta thing?

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Arteta, for example, is qualified to play for England. But would he be good enough?

Is that a joke? He'd be our best player.

That does nothing to keep stitches from opening up.

 

[timbha]

it would have sent a great message if he had travelled with the team even if he wasn't fit enough to play (unless he was under medical orders not to fly/travel).

Apparently the gash was so deep you could see his scull. However his brain was nowhere to be seen.

If you paid an employee £150K a week, how would you feel about him going off to do some voluntary work for someone else with a head injury that there was a very good chance would be aggravated during it?

Wouldn't mind betting Sterling turns out for liverpool at the weekend.

Completely agree OP. It wasn't even that bad. Man up and put a plaster on it, your country needs u... Simple.

It's the money and the desire to excel in your full time job.

It's a small gash on the head, not a feckin' skull fracture

I wonder if NSC would allow the username "Wayne Rooney's Gash"

LOL.

Give it a go, see what happens.

Did you see the picture? It was far from 'a small gash'. Perhaps he's not as manly as you are.
