3 matches seems arbitrary, and more 'politically' motivated IMHO.
But anyway. Gives England a chance of moving forward under the hypothetical scenario of no Rooney being available. Time to use those friendlies etc to maximum effect.
Without Rooney playing I'm actually beginning to look forward to watching England.
It'd be good to see the kids given a chance, but Capello will probably use Rooney's ommission as an excuse for needing more experience in the squad, so don't be surprised to see him start Gerrard and Lampard in the midfield with Michael Owen up front.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY
as long as england dont take any spurs players in his place then its all good
Fair enough.
But Capello will live and die by his selections.
Or perhaps he don't really care much now, cos he has his money sorted, his time is soon up etc and he knows how the English football press operate now.
^^^^^ As above, Capello has nothing to lose.
How much will Capello really care about building for the future, I think we will undoubtedly see the tournament full o the old stars that the vast majority of fans would like to see moved on.
How about going the Ebbsfleet way and we could join the England set-up and text/online/smart phone are selections/tactics, the one with the most is used and just have a motivator and general manager in for the games.
Ok, that may seem stupid, but how much stupidier than having an Italian that has already failed once at a tournament, that is leaving after this one and doesn't really care about the team, players or its future?
Rooney should not be in the squad - teach him a lesson
good article Bales
If we dont take Rooney:- And the players we do take are good enough to get us past the group stages - then they have earned the right to play the knock-out stages.
If we do take Rooney:- and the other forwards we take arent good enough to get out of the group stages, then it doesnt matter, he wont play anyway.
I would tell Rooney that he was going until the last moment and then let him down with a resounding bang.

I think that a team is more than just one individual - just like Stoke in their first PL season, and Blackpool (almost) a team that plays for each other is worth much more than some amazing individuals.

Good points all round really, but when you say:
"Of course you do. And WHOEVER is manager at the time will think the same."
Why would they do it, I mean I agree they probably will but why is it so obvious? I heard Shearer on the radio this morning saying he should go, and that just convinced me I was right
