So what are the chances of the above? Its going to be massively hostile so will Rooney keep a lid on it.
Should he be starting anyway? We have been doing ok without him scoring goals and working well as a team.
Bench him or not?
100% bench him. Personally i can't stand him, such a petulant child and you are correct with what you say. We qualified, drew and won
Trouble is the media will tear Hodgson a new one if he doesn't play him.
I'd burn him with the garden rubbish as my boy idolises him
Rooney hasn't score in 11 hours of tournament play !!
You've got to go back to Euro2004 in Portugal against Croatia for his last tournament goal !!
Any club or country manager would give a portion of their gentleman vegetables to have Rooney on their team. Of course he should play.
well, we've been there before 😈

[i]well, we've been there before[/i]
Blimey, Wayne was much better looking back then eh?
here was me thinking that the match was over and we were out and we could get on with our lives...
Yep, you're going to have to add "[i]SPOILER[/i]" to the title in 6 hours or so you know... 8)
I do hope so
Rooney this season - 1 booking (kicking ball away, Champions League, Sept) and second highest goal tally in Premiership.
Handsome? No
Gobby? Yes
Englands best player? ?
Everone's slagging off Young after Sweden, but look at the goals he's scored recently.
The media are over hyping the idiot, he will let England down as usual!
having you all backing them like this must be helping ..you supporters sure deserve a trophy for this loyalty
You can support without blindly following and agreeing with everything that the team does. What would be the fun in that? We all need something to argue about, why not football too?
I think he'll plod around the not doing much and then have a paddy around the 70th minute. I could be wrong, although it would be funny if he had a full blown screaming hissy fit.

28 goals in 74 games is letting England down?
The manager decides ...
That Rooney bloke is shite at national level.
and at international level when playing for the national team what is your view of him then 😛
petulant child
over hyping the idiot
shite
Really?
If he scores and celebrates with a smile and a cheer, then he's alright.
If he scores and celebrates with a pout and puffing out his chest, then I hope he wakes up tomorrow bald.
I just like his barnet. Money well spent if you ask me.
Why not STFU moaning about what [i]might[/i] happen, and just support the team. Rooney is a proven, world class match winner. That's why he's started! Not like we're overly blessed with them is it really?
I think the problem with Rooney is if a couple of decisions dont go his way he spends the rest of the game waving his arms at the ref. When we (Newcastle) beat Man U 3-0 this season, that is all he did. He needs to channel that frustration into scoring goals, and he doesn't do it.
and he's just missed a sitter!
EDIT: and while we're all having a whine. Milner and Young just aren't good enough.
[b]and Rooney shoots wide[/b]...

[b]GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal![/b] is what they might say if someone scores. 😉
I saw the title and got all excited. 🙁
no hissy fits yet but pretty turd so far.
Rooney = shite and that's swearing
4 missed heading opportunities that Carroll MAY have got
Either way I'm ashamed to be English (damn this beer is strong)
Carroll would have easily scored that sitter!
just like rooney he would not have jumped 😆
Carroll would have burried those headers. 😉
rooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooney 🙂
What you trying to say? Rooney can't?
He's a genius - what sublime skill! 😛
Luckily he didn't have to do much........
So..... You were saying?
yeah but he did not have to jump did he
So..... You were saying?
That if Andy Carroll had been on we'd be at least 2 up and qualification would be in the bag?
See, put him through when he actually has to do something and he screws it up. 😛
If Carroll had been playing Ukraine would have had much more possession after the big geordie failed to find a team mate with his passes.
You'd rather have Andy Carroll on the pitch than Rooney? Seriously?
Have you considered a career managing Liverpool? 😉
ooooh that looked like a goal to me!
It'll be an interesting discussion between Lampard and John the Lion Heart regarding touchline technology.
And who's his boyfriend on the commentry team?
Terry's having a stormer.
ooooh that looked like a goal to me!
I take it you're not currently dressed in Yellow, standing on the goal line in the Ukraine then?
It's 1-1 as that goal was a goal
It's like watching a woman giving birth - laborious & painful
Mop my brow please doc
It's 1-1 as that goal was a goal
My telly must be different 😉
