Is Rooney not there because of his goal scoring record in WC finals though? 0 in 2 WC's is a good return for our forwards
Barkley certainly staing a claim for playing in that number 10 role instead of Rooney. If you're going on form in these friendlies, only 1 winner. We know it won't happen though, Roy will play for a draw against an average Italian team and claim it as a victory when they walk away with a 0-0
I reckon this is the tournament that he really shines and makes it 0 in 3 though and joins the true greats
Is it a deliberate tactic for the England players to charge towards the opposition box and then panic and attempt to lay the ball off to someone else surrounded by three or four opposition defenders?
Townsend after Johnson got the ball on the edge of the area and subsequently gave it away - "he can be dangerous there, Glen Johnson". Yeah, dangerous to England by giving the ball away and setting up a counter
Johnson's p*ssing me off more than he does when he play for us. I really didn't think that would be possible. #raisinghisgamefortheworldcup
