No absolutely not. He really didn't do anything in this championship, but watch him while playing with Barcelona,
did you see his Championsleague-Games??
Usually, when he passes, he hits the foot of the other player out of a distance of 40 m... He has an incredible control over the ball, and his sharp shots are very dangerous.
But not in this world championship....
bad passes, no feeling....

Beckham is done, and Terry and Ferdinand have been found out to be only subbuteo class.   The problem with the England  is, they played their best players, but not their best team. The midfeild was/is a mess, no natural goal scorer, Wean (pronounced wane) Rooney, once again spat the dummy out of his pram, and Gary Neville!!!!!......WHY?   But, the good news is, Scotland laughed itself silly watching this inept team from down south blow it big style,AGAIN. Stuff the game, let's just take penalties, and never again shall scumland win a game.   Final offering............i bet the English cause more damage than the Russians ever did in Germany tonight and tomorrow.     ps   Scotsman Andy Murray won his tennis game.   pps England got whitewashed at the cricket..........suicide rate hits an all time high down south.

We Jocks, as you put it, are not criticising, we're laughing at the worlds worst under acheivers. As usual, you lot think you have a god given right to win everything, unfortunately you need a decent team to do that with.

I am a huge fan of Rooney, since he made his debut at sixteen years old in Everton. I am shocked about the way he left this tournament, with a red card and the mock of  entire nations  .... His reaction was wrong but we know this dark side of Rooney, he has made some more in the Premier League when things are not going as Rooney likes, he tend to react very primal with venomous anger, I don't understand why football fans want to defend his behaviour, he was obviously wrong to kick that Portuguese players in his bollocks. But I think that:

Have you noticed how the exceitement and entertainment has mostly gone out of the football now that we are at the pointy end of the World Cup tournament?

spacecraft wrote: Rooney was sent of for the stamp on the bollocks. This, according to 5 Live radio, was the reason the referee has stated is why Rooney the looney was sent off. Why should England have reached the semi-finals? They have played with little or no flair, no imagination aand no goal threat. The teams that are in the semi's deserve to be there, because they are all better than England.

Rooney the looney he should be called. Becks is done, but Eriksson was scared sh*tless to drop him, for fear of upsetting his wife who threatened to sing(!!) to him.   As for only one tennis player, at least he is still in a tournament, probably get stuffed in the next round, but where's middle class t**t Henman?   Scotland will never win anything on the football front, at least we are able to be realistic about our team, time you sourtherners need to get a grip on reality too.   Finally, what kind of supporter causes a riot in their own country over a game of footie. Quick give them back their dummy, and Rooney's too.   Long live penalty shootouts.

I don't think we have the god given right to win anything and nor does anyone else but England were the bookies pre-tournament favorites along with Brazil.
Every nation in the world cup should believe they are there to win it, otherwise whats the point?
English supporters are no different to any others, this is true of any other sport as well.
Which brings me to Tennis, if Andy Murray goes into his next game with your "realistic" approach then like any self fulling prophecy he will lose. Tennis is a middle class game and Murray's father is the Director of Scottish Tennis, yeah that sets Murray apart.
One thing England should never do is go into competitions believing we will lose.
Unfortunately I think thats exactly what our footballers (cricketers, Tennis players, Golfers, etc) do most of the time, if you think you will lose on penaties you normally will.
As for Portugal being a good side, hehehe thats just funny, they wasn't interested in attacking in with an extra man.
The two most positive sides in the semi-finals are France and Germany, IMO.
