Nice one Kurt. But you should know by now, that the English media never blame Rooney. In fact given half a chance they'd make him the best player in the world. They've already done it to Cristiano Ronaldo coz of one good season. But then you're English yourself, maybe you won't take kindly to me saying this.
Nah, it's cool. I don't like the way they hype up our players either. Personally I think Rooney is pretty average, he does OK at best for Man U, and nothing short of awful for England.
The English media like to think the Premier Leagu is the best in the world. I am English and my first team is a Premier League team, Aston Villa. But I don't think it is, I'd say third behind Serie A and La Liga. Ronaldo gets all the praise from media because they want the Premiership to have the best player in the world, just like they do with Henry.
If Henry was so great why did he flop at Juve? I pretty much hate all English teams except for Villa and the national team of course, so I never like English teams winning European competitions. So the more they hype up English teams/players, the more they're going to have to criticise them when they fail.
