The player that cost England the World cup retires http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...rrard-announces-international-retirement.html
I dont care when he costs the RS the title. But I do care when his mistake booted England out of the World Cup. I hope this remains in his conscience. This England team had the most RS players for a very long time and also the crappiest for a long time too. This is no coincidence...
But shouldn't world class Rooney take responsibility for not carrying his team to the final single handedly?
I wouldnt say he cost England the WC Maybe cost England the Uruguay game. But there were two other group games that England f**ked up without Slippy G's direct involvement. Cost England the WC like they were going to win it anyway
Stevie G had two decent games in 100 caps: Andorra, 07 and Germs, 11. Think of the stinkers: France 04, Portugal 06, Germany 10, Italy 12, Uruguay 14 etc
That's what world class players do, lift those around them to New levels, Suarez did it with the same overrated Liverpool players lol
He did, and he was a top player back then (maybe not a top, top player )........kidding. But he seems to have lost that youthful glint he had in his eye, that passion. Now he seems old beyond his years and a tad...dare I say....bitter. It is a small shame to see him go without a Premier League winners medal, but there are many great players who have played in the PL who never got one, Zola, Ginola, Klinsmann, Dennis Wise ,
Aye, plenty of others too - Carragher, McManaman, Fowler, Hyppia, Alonso and even Michael Ow...oh hang on, he got the one he deserved in the end
