Of course I do, just pointing it out as many Rooney "haters" have selective amnesia. I can't remember every game in every tournament to make a statement like that and neither can you.

 

You always know there's little point debating any longer when somebody uses the word 'hater' and clearly shows that they are a fanboy of the person or thing in question.

 

Oh, and I don't need to remember that Rooney hasn't scored for many, many years in tournament football because it's a pretty well known fact. Against the Malta's, Slovenia's and Ukraine's of the world he does alright when played in an advanced position, but against the better sides he has failed time after time. Be a fan of him, sure, you're entitled to be. Just don't make out he's something he clearly isn't, and that's world-class.

How many England managers have there been during and since that tournament and they all keep picking him and singing his praises, some people rate him highly.

 

One of the managers who sings his praises is Mourhino but he's being doing that for years.He tried to sign him when he was Chelsea's manager,now he knows what he is talking about doesn't he?

Steven Gerrard - now there's a player who hasn't even had one tournament to live off. Nowhere near world class because he hasn't proved it against the best.

 

Personally I'd not call him world class...very very good but nowhere near to Messi, Ronaldo. Maradona, Platini, Zidane, Moore, Charlton, Pele, Bogie etc etc

There can be no argument whatsoever that he was world-class for Liverpool for many years. Only a handful of players had anything like the same influence that he did on their team. He almost single-handedly won games for Liverpool on many occasions.

Very good player in a poor team.

Very good player in a poor team.

 

A 'poor team' that once contained the likes of Alonso, Mascherano and Torres. He was still the best player when those three were in the same 11 as himself. I didn't know that poor teams won the Champions League either, and were then runners up two seasons later.
