In the 79th minute England forward and United star went down with which looked like a serious injury, by the look on his face. But, Chelsea fans kept on singing their chants while watching Rooney on the ground in agony. What is so surprising to me is that Wayne Rooney is on the English National Team, and Chelsea is in England. They should have shown respect.

They are arrogant cockneys mate. You will never change that. Cocky as hell when they are winning, cry like babies when they lose. They cant mix it with Europe's elite though, can they? What did TV say about Rooney, I saw what happened but couldnt hear anything - how serious is it?

He is very overrated. He and Beckham are the most overrated footballers in England today. I hope that the English team goes far this summer so that the world can see that other players exist outside of Rooney and Becks.

Wayne Rooney. Manchester United and England.

If England is to go on they had best liven up the pace and not rely on Rooney and the refs for their goals. Take the shots and take them hard since the Wayne one is not up to par yet!!! PS for the next season Up The Gunners (and no I am not a French fan for supporting Arsenal)

Yes what a load of rubbish. And those of you who thought or think that Becks was the same. \n\nHe held the team together, even though he had his weak moments.\n\nMclaren he is a no! No! NO! Go now.\n\nWhat other England manager has run up and down the sideline with a piece of paper in his hand that he had to refer to. \n\n\nThe man is extracting the Michael out of St George.\n\nI hang my head in shame for English football and for some of the English players.

If u look closely,u realise that the england squad are more of a deffensive team,with the likes of terry,ashley cole,garry n,ferdinand as the deffense.In the mid field there is lampard and gerrard,which to my oppinion are more deffensive and their ability to strike arises only when they r loosing and the game is about to end(Not all the time Though).Then the srtikers;owen,crouch.Not too good am afraid,but rooney has a gift i have never seen in any player,He has the Flare,the strenght and speed.He alone in the attack can do it.The last european cup in portugal showed how he opperates in major tornaments.I think Young gun Wayne Rooney is England's weapon of Emence destruction.

Although home-advantage doesn't always matter in a Germany/England rivalry, Germany is going to win that game and that home court advantage will help. Both received a boost with the return of Ballack and Rooney, but England have to show a lot more because they boast a complete team on paper. They supposedly have a very good goalie (who is said to be a good penalty kick stopper). I'm not convinced with the few plays he was involved in vs T&T. He didn't seem to good coming out of the goal line. Then there's the midfield, one of if not the best on paper, but they're not sharp playing off of their forwards. Then there's Beckham. I've never paid much attention to him but seeing him play I don't know how people say soooooo much about him. His right footed crosses/free kicks are probably the best in the world, but, if you ask me, that's all he has: He can't defend, he can't header, he can't kick with his left foot, so he's got a lot to prove to live up to everyone's expectation. England's frontline needs Rooney so I won't peg on them without him. The defense hasn't been tested much but they've been solid when required. So with England having a lot more to prove in my opinion, I don't think they'll quite do it against a German team who although isn't at its best form, it's always a very dangerous team in a world cup. My prediction: Germany 1, England 0.

i do not think that he has the name power of some of the other english stars.  though maybe with the rooney injury he might get a reserve spot, but i do not expect that he would get much playing time.

The English are proud, and also Loyal. Do we seem bothered that everyone wants us to lose? No, Do we care who you`ll be supporting? No. I think Its jealousy because your teams didnt even make It, Nothing worse than sore losers!! If we win, then that will be great, If we lose....at least we can say we were there, took part, and done our best. To the peoples whose countires didnt make It, Its like the lottery......You have to be In It to win It. Your not and we are. Come on England!!!

He is on the verge of recovering. BBC reported that they are trying to use oxygen chamber to speed up the recovery. Hopefully he would be fit enough to play at the world cup. The english manager even does not mind if the only game Rooney plays is the finals in July (hoping England makes it to the finals).

Man, I cannot agree with you more. It was a pathetic game. Bruce (sad to say this about him) is the first in line to blame. He should have started with a better squad and formation.  He had Beasley playing on the wrong side. Cherundulo played awful. So much to say. If we cannot beat Italy, I say call it quits and have the young players get some playing time and exposure to the World Cup. \n\nWin or lose...GO USA!!

Yes, Wayne Rooney is injured but England won't win the world cup

Hooligans are an embarassment but you're right, England fans do have a bad rep but you can't tar everyone with the same brush can you?!

No England dint think that they are the greatest like Brazil but they do work hard! Why do you think they admitted they need to improve? Its not to boast is it!! \n\nBy saying Rooney's not much obviously you don't like him but you can not disagree that he is a good player and to even stay on the pitch for as long as he has still recovering with his injury is great! Think about that before you put him down. Although Yeah Beckham is overrated but has proved his worth :P\n\nEngland works hard like Germany thanks very much PEACE! I mean Hargreaves carried on and still managed to defend England by kicking the ball out even though you could see he was in pain. He continued and persevered through blood and a Ref wanting him moved (lol)! \n\nGO ENGLAND! =D

Chelski are chokers. Mourinho is rude and unclassy. Shame about Kewell's injury though. As an Aussie, I hope it isn't too serious.

Looking good so far and getting better. Winning, getting through without major injuries to players are key to making to the last stage. England will be there i feel because of exceptional Wayne Rooney - playmaker, striker extraordinaire.
