after his masterclass display at the 2006 world cup and the follow up in the euro 2008 it is only fitting he makes it a hattrick in 2010 on officially becoming 'the white pele'
Not just saying this after the event (having said it from pre-world cup) but Rooney was clearly out of form (fit or not) and should have been dropped.
The result wasn't down to him, but the lack of punch in front of goal was lamentable. I really do think things would have been different had Bobby Z been fit - and that's not just with BHA goggles on.
