yes, I don't know what Erickson was thinking when he invited a 17 year old kid to play on world cup, you have Be atty or Vassel as a better substitute for Rooney!  I hope he gets better for next round of World Cup.

Sven has a masterplan?, he must have because managerially speaking it is a brave(possibly stupid) move, and seeing as he is going after this WC he is more comfortable making those decisions. There are more experienced "youth" players around like Dafoe who went home due to Rooney`s recovery or Wright-Phillips (just to see Ian Wrights face).Walcott has the potential to shine but throwing him in like this could be ugly,he already has a minor injury from training

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.

i'm with you on that one. rooney did a good job today and really showed what he was capable of but, with a bit of support, it could've been 3-0. also, we're running low on options so we don't want to rely too much on rooney incase he gets injured again.\n\nbeckham and lennon did work well together today and ashley cole was superb. yeah, if anyone needs to be left off it's lampard, but he's still useful and considering his flexibility is a handy little sub.\n\nfancy taking over from sven? lol

Peter Crouch is a pathetic loser!! He SUCKS!!\nPerhaps he has sucked Sven-Goran's *** to be in the team.\nTheo Walcott would be better than Peter Crouch. Perhaps Erickkson is giving him a chance, or wants England to lose!!\nBut if Peter Crouch is benched, ENGLAND WILL BE FLYING!!

Dude its always correct to think England should mature up as a team. But you cant win a match without a striker can you, as Michael Owen is injured too and Rooney who is considered as having the caliber of Pele too hits the ground. Moreover there is no better replacement for Rooney in the whole country. Try thinking that way.

'Taking the piss'!  I like that.  No Walcott will not play much (unless he excells, which no one really knows how he will do, not even Sven).  Defoe will be called into action, Rooney will not even come close enough to gamble on.  So you will be looking at a strike force of Defoe or Crouch and Owen if he lasts, then Walcott.  \n\nIs Sven Drunk.. maybe, his justification for taking Walcott sounds as though he took a couple wabbly pops. So yes.

hmm \nwayne rooney and thierry henry

lol neither.Their both too old and out of shape. I Still cant believe he didnt call up darren bent.This man was fantastic this season.but instead he called up walcott.an unexperienced youth whose yet to play for arsenals senoir team. I wouldve called up darren bent and .....Beattie.That beanstalk(peter crouch) cant even use his size as an advantage when it comes to headers.Thats my Opinion.Good luck England,you need it. Go Brasil.

Rooney is a big game player.  He was awesome 2 years ago in Portugal at the Euros and is likely to be even better now.

I think he is good too,but not better than any one,Of coarse he looks better than Saha coz he is too way stronger,but van nestrloy is better than him,he got experince.Rooney is goin' to get much better in near future coz as I think will be well experinced.So,U seems a wayne fan.Good luck for both,Rooney & Man united.thnkx for the 2 points,hope they r 12,LOL>\n:)

i think joe cole or frank lampard but if rooney recovers fom his injury then he will definetly be the lead score.

Well, being a guy I don't think Rooney is very good-looking.\n\nHowever, I can say the lad does have appeal for the masses.\n\nAside from his amazing talent, he seems quite level-headed considering his meteoric rise to fame at such a young age.\n\nCheers.

YA ROONEY DID A  PERFECT THING !!\nHE TOOK OF HIS SPIKES AND LET HIS SOCKS GO PUBLIC.ALL THE OTHERS SUFFERED FROM STINK AND WE ENJOYED!!\nMOREOVER WHEN PLAYERS LIKE CROUCH(THE GREAT!!) ARE PLAYING..ROONEY THE POOR HAS NO CHANCE.\n\nI STILL DONT UNDERSTAND REMOVING ROONEY INSTEAD OF CROUCHing dog

Wow, when I first read your question I thought you were off your rocker.  Rooney is hurt bad.  But you know what...I started thinking and started believing you.  I hope your theory is correct and he'll be ready.  But seriously....if he broke it in numerous spots (which might be the conspiracy) it will be difficult to be fit for the end of the WC.
