World Cup 2014 Brasil

the only reason why Rooney was playing on the left is because Hodgson has to do something with him the problem with rooney is he only wants to play when its in the center. where as most of the other players in the team will at least attempt to play in any postion where they are needed Rooney has had 2 many chances in the past i think a lot of fans havent forgiven him for his outburst at the fans in the 2010 world cup so when he has a bad run of form they give him what for im sorry but i would drop him and give lalana his postion on the left.

if he was dropped it would 1 make him either fight for his place or 2 he would quit either way problem solved

You either play Rooney right UP FRONT or put him on the BENCH simple! Rooney is best playing the out and out striker none of this behind the forward shite or on the wings!

Having said that he did make the goal from been out wide lol and to be fair not a lot of people could have picked out that beautiful pass into Daniel put on a plate for him by wazza! So Rooney has had unfair critics last night in my eyes as he was the one who put it on a plate and gave all us English fans something to shout about....

The Media slating Rooney over and over again is simply not fair on him it's got to be messing with his head!

For me I would play 4-3-3 Rooney playing the out and out striker get Sterling just to his left and Sturrige to the right.... Playing Stevie G, Henderson and Milner in the middle.

thank you trickster i agree and i think hes being singled out and totally agree dont play him on the left either. if he doesnt want to play him in the middle to cause damage to opposing teams then dont play him at all.

r u being serious? rooney always plays for the team, wether it be club or for england. he doesnt always play the furthest up front at man utd does he, he plays all over the place even in midfield and he also has done for england. he mite not like playing out of position buthe always does so for club and country, geez man come on

the fact that rooney traveled the most yet hardly touched the ball showed how bad he was. thus making baines look bad

yes a leader who used to burst forward and hit fantastic strikes i know he's older now but i don't understand why people still rate him highly, is he a defensive midfielder now or something? cos i rarely see him do any attacking like the way he used to, and what did Wellbeck do yesterday exactly? put in a good shift defensively? i thought he was mean't to be a striker like rooney, why do so many strikers play out of position, im sick of this one striker up top crap, italy put 10 men behind the ball in the 2nd half we could have easily put rooney up front with sturridge, saying that we still played well but it could have been better, we need a goal poacher they shouldn't all just be workhorses or speed merchants

You're talking shite! He did play out wide and never complained you fool... The point is Rooney out wide is not his game he hasn't the pace to beat a player!

He should be backup to Sturridge, it's simple..

Rooney did play up front for half of the second half in his favourite position, He missed a sitter, stole the ball off Barkley and messed that chance up, and Messed up a corner....

You're manager is poor, he's stuck in 1980's and under him you will do nothing and he hasn't got the balls to drop Rooney..

Well Hodgson has asked the same question. He said it's time for the obsession with Rooney to stop and that he should be regarded no differently to other England players.

Comments like that make you look like someone of rather low intelligence.

Roy Hodgson will make whatever decisons he wants to, just as he was quick to drop Rio Ferdinand, just as he didn't take Ashley Cole, just as he didn't try and recall John Terry, just as he no longer starts with Frank lampard etc etc. He's made it clear that Rooney is nothing special as far as he's concerned and is just another England player.

If Hodgson wants to drop Rooney he'll drop Rooney and if you think otherwise it's because you're a fool.

I don't care what it looks like, i'm just stating facts... anyway when your out of the Tournament in a few days time we won't have to speak about England anymore, until then enjoy watching Rooney waste some more chances

As for Hodgeson dropping Cole, stupid decision as he's one of the best left backs in the world
