I wonder who the people that want Rooney dropped want to replace him with, because I honestly cannot see anyone in that England side with Rooney's level of ability and natural talent.

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Oct 10 2014, 08:33 PM)  He dropped big names, which you said he doesn't. The fact it went badly is more reason now not to drop one of the best scorers in the nations history. No, I said he does what the FA tells him to. |

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 10 2014, 07:55 PM) Incomparable. Rooney has been a true champion for many years. He's having a rough patch, just like Pirlo in his last couple of years with us. Balotelli hasn't proved anything in his career. The matter is, we know how good Rooney can be, the same cannot be said about Balo. When was Rooney's last 'good patch', exactly? |

Italy do look better without Mario. There's absolutely no way they would've beaten Azerbaijan if he was playing.

I've seen a few games from United this season, and like I told you, I follow what's going on in the league. Everyone knows Rooney has been poor since last season, and he was a disappointment at the WC, too. Lay off, now. Nitpicking and sh*t. |

Some very interesting results. Teams like Romania, Montenegro, Denmark, Turkey etc. with a lot of surprisingly bad results. I'd say Albania are doing very well, 4 points against stronger teams.
Also on top level some surprises. First Spain, and now Germany losing as well. |

QUOTE (Danny @ Oct 10 2014, 05:55 PM) So, just say I humour you: you're implying Prandelli is a coward for resigning? To answer your question: no, it's an entirely different situation. Prandelli took a serious risk when he tampered with his team during the tournament. And I don't mean it is cowardly to step down. But for Hodgson especially, who gets constantly bullied by medias and is usually found his his back against the wall, I find it quite brave to have the courage, vision and willpower to maintain his position. |

We played like sh*t (as always), pure catenaccio by De Biasi, but before they equalized we had two very good chances to score and take the game home. Pity. Denmark were pretty bad, though, just like Portugal. They barely created any serious opportunities. |

Btw I noted that for you catenaccio football is a synonym for bad football. For me it's boring maybe and a bit passe, but certainly not bad.
