Compare our 1998 WC strikers vs our 2010 WC strikers :icon_lol:

Rooney will be a one man striker in some games, and Steven Gerrard will be the one playing off him from deep. Rooney is better than Shearer in my view, as much as people will want to slap me for that, and Gerrard in that role is better than Sheringham. Ferdinand will clearly be better than Crouch in some peoples eyes, but the big mans 21 international goals to Les' 5 suggest Peter has had a better impact at international level.

:angry: He's not like.

Agree tbh about Roonney/Shearer but not at all about Ferdinand/Crouch. Les didnt get that many chances to play for England given the fact we didnt qualify for 94 and didnt need to for 96 and he was behind Shearer and Sheringham as a partnership.

I know Les is better but Crouch is a good striker, he's as good as Zigic who everyone creams themselves over. Good point about 94 and 96 with Ferdinand, I think Ian Wright had amazin ability too and didn't get anywhere near as many caps as his talents meritted.

We also had the likes of Fowler and Collymore. Both immensely talented players - who never reached their potential, but they would both easily get into this squad.

Different type of players to each other anyway and you can only compare at the end of Rooney's career. Also you can only compare Rooney at his best (when he reacehs it) with the Shearer before any of the career threatening injuries and imagine that Shearer going on to the best he could be without the injuries.

 

The injury free Shearer would have broken any scoring record going (for club and country) and easilly outscored Rooney at the end of a career. Who is the best all round, time will tell, could be either of them, but as a scorer its Shearer without question.

 

And currently Rooney like most players isn't as good as Messi, no matter how much some people say he is. You can argue about who is the most effective and argue about peoples goal tallys and direct assists etc. but in terms of skill, flair and technique Messi is on his own. I've seen him score goals for Barca (going past god knows how many players), that Rooney just couldn't score.

 

What's annoying a an England fan is that the Rooney for manu just before the late season injuries was for me second behind Messi in form players in the world and i thought Rooney was heading for a storming world cup this year. Hopefully he gets a rocket up his arse and still turns up this time.

I think it's wrong to write Spain off, or even England for that matter, if we get through on Wednesday. We always seem to pick it up and play well in the KO stages

Brazil or Argentina for me.

 

Aye. I fancy one of the european teams to come strong at some point. Probably Germany or Spain.

 

Be interesting to see how both respond to their defeat. Logic suggests they'll come out fighting but that same logic said England should have ended up with a cricket score on Friday.

So far they are the only two who look like they want to win it and can. Has Maradona had some additional coaching assistance drafted in? Watched them a few times in qualifying and they were all over the place.

 

Need to wait and see how Spain perform next.

Before today would have said Brazil or Argentina. Starting to like the Dutch a lot.
