http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27952266 I agree with him, The stick Rooney has had from the press and media has gone way over the top, its about time someone else felt the brunt of that.
You will find its the dipper player and England Captain getting the flack, and quite right he should. I said from the start his head is not in it, after he cost Liverpool the title, now he did it for England and the World cup.
Matth In all seriousness though Rooney cannot be blamed for the loss against Uruguay. Hodgson should have subbed Gerrard, Henderson and Welbeck at half time and put Lallana, Barkley and AOC (if he was fit) as those three contributed to naff all except in Gerrards case creating a sublime scoring opportunity for Suarez to win the game.
He cost us our chance. However minute. We really should have checked his place of birth. It clearly says Uruguay. That alongside his chelsea badge birth mark should have been warning signs for all.
I did and it's 90 minutes of my life I won't get back. I'd rather blame Glenn Johnson though, although he didn't make a mistake on the day he's not even a Championship quality RB.
