He's got the talent, just not the attitude it seems to me.

Every time England play he gets rave reviews, ad I just don't see it. It might be club bias, but for me, he's been hot and cold since the '06 world cup, much like the rest of them, rather than this beacon of light that the press makes out.

Yeah I know what you mean.

When he broke onto the scene at Euro 2004 he looked like a player that could carry the England team but he's lost those attributes that made him a bit of a one man band, so to speak.

Now he's still a quality player but he's far more reliant on the rest of the team than he used to be - and when we underperform, which happens often, so does he.

The days of expecting Rooney to do special things at a tournament died years ago.

That's not to say he cannot contribute, he's just not fulfilled the potential he showed when he first broke through, in my opinion.

I got the lineup right!!!

Walker jays Cahill Baines

Gerrad Barry

Oxlade Rooney Sterling

Strurridge


Tries to fit Barkley but couldn't,

Not Barry, meant hendo,

Either way for the sake of English football, Shaw, Barkley, sturrigde, sterling, Townsend, must all be first regulars by the end of this world.cup,

As we know it will.end in tears all over again, this is.why


Hart

Walker
Jags
Cahill
Cole

Gerard
Wiltshire

Milner
Rooney
Welbeck

Sturrigde

This is what.we ll be forced to.watch

I've changed your prediction round a bit to be more accurate for Hodgson, and the England team in general.
