Predictions then?

I'm going for the (wildly optimistic) scoreline of England 3 Uruguay 1, with Rooney scoring twice.


For Suarez to be carried off with a ruptured knee is beyond my hopes I suppose.
 
England XI to face Uruguay: Hart; G. Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines; J. Henderson, Gerrard; Sterling, Rooney, Welbeck; Sturridge.
 
Alan Hansen on Wayne Rooney: "His weight is all over the place."

What's that got to do with anything ?
 
Or rather it's not consistent.

He fluctuates between a bit porky and in shape.
Which means his eating and fitness regimes are not balanced.
 
You reckon?
I wouldn't say that, although during the season he is.
He gets a bit out of shape during summer or when injured.
