Who agrees with me that England played better after Rooney (shrek) was set off???

Question

and Crouch was brought on..

Answer 1

yes i totaly agree with you. i think they should of played peter crouch on first and then maybe subed him with rooney late into the second half. i dont thinkrooney has played gud in this world cup he has'nt done anything for us.i think he was stupid fowling someone right infront of the ref.

Answer 2

He didn't play his best, but he's not overrated. Too much was put on him this World Cup, and since he'd only just recovered from injury it was wrong.

Crouch is a shite player, and we all know that. He gets the odd flukey header, but most of the time knocks it about 50 metres above the goal post.

The only decent player in the Portugal game was Hargreaves, and I don't think anyone can argue with that.

They all did seem to work harder with just 10 men though.

But I couldn't DISAGREE more each time I hear someone say the best team won at the end of the day. They won on penalities - something which should be abolished because it clearly is a lottery. And Portugal dived the whole game. They may be through, but at least England can be proud of its good sportsmanship :)

Answer 3

Crouch played the forward ball brilliantly. pity he wasn't there from the start. Rooney needs anger management! He is not the only talent England has!

Answer 4

England played ????? When? Where?

Oh in that World Cup ... the 1966? The one held in their own back yard, where the bent the rules slightly, when they made the Portuguese team travel SEVEN (7) hours by coach just before the semi-final match, cause they kinda changed the initial planned stadium and venue?

Oh and yes, the one they won with that goal that wasn't a goal!

And here I thought the English were all about fair-play and gentlemanly conduct and that only that mafia thug Sepp Blatter was a conspirational cheat!

It's okay to look forward if you are blind to the present facts and don't come to terms with your past?

Answer 5

Yes. They played better. Rooney is good, but not as good as his rep. England has a tendancy to play the bare minimum of what they think they need to win, and then he got sent off, and they realized they needed to step it up a notch. And they did. Only it was too late. England I think had the talent to win, just not the drive. That was Sven and Beckams (as captain) fault.

Answer 6

i cant say i do to be honest i think that reason for England's improved performance was because of the introduction of Aaron Lennon, there were at least two attacks that he created and Rooney probably should have buried one of them. but to conclude it wasn't the removal of Rooney it was the addition of Lennon. PS the tight passing was the result of being down a player , this meant tighter passing was needed due to the lack of extra space!!!!!!!

Answer 7

yes I agree, but I think that was only because the ball had to be played close and tight. Crouch I thought was good but he is too tall and lanky and did could not really do any real damage but at least he tried.

Answer 8

There is no point in looking at the past. Lets look forward. Yes i agree. The guy is over rated

Answer 9

i personally think rooney looks like a pig. like a pigman or something.

was he that pigman in the seinfeld episode? hahahaha

no im just kiding thats mean
. but realistically. no rooney is obviously a better player. but he has one hothead on those cold shoulders

Answer 10

Could't agree more! Rooney is such a baby...hes ded funny the way he stamps his feet and sulks when he get sent off : )
