All 3 defenders have done done one thing Rooney has failed to do and that is score a goal in the World Cup. 2010 England had a very easy group as well and yet the £200,000 + weekly earner who had a very good season with United couldn't even score against poor teams like USA, Algeria and Slovenia.
Matthew Upson 1 world Cup and he scores a goal against the mighty Germans
Sol Campbell scored against Sweden in 2002.
Rio Ferdinand scored against Denmark in 2002.

Upson, Campbell and Rio > Rooney

Imagine going all the way to Sri Lanka only to go out after getting just a single run after facing a whole seven balls. Terrible.

Roberto di Matteo has won the champions league and Paul Lambert has beaten Mourinho in a Premier League game. Wenger has done neither. Discuss

8 games, no goals. Pretty poor. But then he wasn't fit and shouldn't have been selected in 2006. He wasn't fit in 2010 and was playing at the sharp end of a poor team in poor form. Not surprising he's not scored.

That would seem more appropriate as an article on its own - it's of similar standard to this one and would doubtless garner similarly enthusiastic responses. Good luck with it, and good luck coming up with a terrific screen name.
