Following a draw with France and victory over Sweden, the English national team are in a good position to qualify for the quarter-finals. However, Russia went in to their final game with the same number of points a couple of nights ago but after an unlikely defeat against Greece, were knocked out. England aren’t home and dry yet.
Thankfully for them, England will have Wayne Rooney in the starting line-up for their final group stage game against the Ukraine. The timing couldn’t be better. Having done most of the hard work already and getting by without their best player, thanks to a late winning goal from Danny Welbeck against Sweden, England fans and the press are made up that Rooney comes back in time to sure up qualification.
Alan Smith, The Telegraph: Rooney is special. By the sound of it, leaving him out never entered Hodgson’s head. The 26 year-old’s return should certainly help England to play between the lines a little better. For defenders or midfielders previously struggling for a pass, then, Rooney can make the difference with the angles he makes. He doesn’t always have to be in loads of space either. You know he can receive the ball under pressure. You know his technique won’t let him down. hether it’s a one-touch lay-off or something more intricate, Rooney’s involvement can make the side more patient in possession, simply because he offers the extra pass.
Kenny Dalglish, The Mirror: The return of Wayne Rooney to their side against Ukraine will be a huge boost to their chances at Euro 2012. I have heard some people saying that too much importance is being placed on the return of Rooney after suspension. Really? Let me tell you something: Rooney has few peers in the world game. And he has the ability to make the contribution in Donetsk on Tuesday night that will get England over the line and into the last eight. Rooney has every ingredient you need to be a great player and one of the most important of those is that he has retained his love of playing football. He has got everything.
Rio Ferdinand, The Sun: This is what Wazza loves. When it’s a crunch game and he has to do the business it doesn’t worry him at all. t is what being a world-class player is all about, you’re supposed to enjoy the big occasions and do your best work. It hasn’t always gone right for Wayne in the past in tournaments for different reasons like injury and getting sent off. But I know he has no fears about the fact he can do the job and do it well. He knows how good he is and what he is capable of doing and that he is a very gifted footballer.
The biggest talking up hasn’t come from the fans or the media though, but the England manager himself, comparing Rooney with Pele!
“If you look back through the years, if you take Pele for example, he was capable of producing his very best football when it really mattered to help Brazil win World Cups,” he said. “Let’s hope that Wayne Rooney can start to do that for us on Tuesday night and then, if we win, who knows? If Wayne can produce his best, then he can help us keep going even further.”
No pressure then eh?
England came in to this tournament for the first time in as long as I can remember with little to no expectation put on their shoulders. The squad is full of players from Liverpool, who had a dire season, there are several injuries, some of the best players got left at home, and following disappointing tournament after disappointing tournament, it’s finally seemed to hit people that England just aren’t that good. The “golden generation” is in its 30s now and they never managed to do the business, so why would this rabble?
However, a draw against France and scraping a win against Sweden, coupled with Rooney’s return, has raised expectations. I’m confident England will progress out of the groups and after missing out on the first two games, I’m sure Rooney will be fired up to have a good game, but you can’t help but imagine the alternative.
Rooney comes back in to the team, having not played a game of football for over a month, and isn’t as sharp has he might need to be. England play Ukraine, who know a win for them is enough to see them through to the quarters, and undoubtedly will be playing with more urgency.
Having got the results without Rooney, if they fail to get the required result with Rooney, who’s going to get the blame? Some might question Hodgson’s decision to change a winning team, pretending that they didn’t think that Rooney should walk straight back in to the starting line-up. Some might sensibly claim that England weren’t ever certain of getting out of the group in the first place. But you just know that the buck will stop with Rooney. He might even get wound up that England are losing, do something silly, and a referee will be all to glad to put his name in the book, or worse.
Am I exaggerating? Three out of four England penalty takers missed at the 2006 World Cup, but this country blamed England’s exit on Cristiano Ronaldo, for being one of five Portuguese players complaining to the ref about Rooney’s stamp. More reasonably but still ridiculous, England fans made effigies of David Beckham following the 1998 World Cup after his red card against Argentina. It was 2-2 when Beckham got sent off and it was 2-2 at full-time, yet again they failed on a penalty shoot-out (Batty and Ince missing) but it was the United’s man fault.
United have enjoyed great success the season following these tournaments. I certainly won’t complain about the booing opposition every week inspiring Beckham to help us win the Treble in 1998-1999 and Ronaldo to our first title in four years in 2006-2007. However, I’d be much happier to see Rooney get a goal or two tonight, maybe set one up for Welbeck too, and leave the scapegoating for someone else. Maybe one of those bloody Liverpool players!
Man Utd News 24/7
‘Mon Rooney
Make them ABU’s cringe son
Just play your game and let it flow Wayne. You , Welbz and Young will do well. Ignore all the haters…..cause “haters gonna hate” . That’s what they do.
Come On Wazza, you scouse beauty…………Do it for England and do it for James
“You know his technique won’t let him down” Alan Smith The Telegraph.
No come on Alan we all know that isn’t true, for a ‘world class’ player sometimes his first touch and passing is terrible.
Again his arrival is being overhyped. Building him up for a fall. Dalglish doesn’t believe a word of it.
He is short-selling Rooney – building him up, then he’ll be the scapegoat and Dalglish will be sniggering away when Wayne is taking the flak for the ineptitude of his teammates.
Some may have issues with him and rightly so…………..Personally I love the ugly fucker
Not much he can change. They will still have Johnson, Terry and Lescott in defence and Scotty Parker with Gerrard in midfield. I said it last week, but he actually may be too techincal for the kind of football Woy wants to play.
We’ll see. I’ll love it if Ukraine knock them out though.
Hope they bench that bum of a player glennjohnson who caused two Sweden goals
Of course he will be the scapegoat as every cunt from Woy to El Tel have hyped him beyond belief. United lads aside he is surrounded by dogshit and when he fails to turn up tonight which he inevitably will he will get dogs tomorrow. Fucking Ingerlish press.
Is Phil Jones going to get a minute on the pitch for England?? I know its a great experience for the lad but why did Hodgson the bellend take him if he wasn’t planning on playing him to begin with…
Getting a bit worried with Dogleash’s praise of all things United these days.
And come on WAYNE ROONEY! Can’t wait to watch u light up the Euros tonight fella! G’warn!!!!
Ash Young…its time to shine mate and your time is now. #makeitcount
He’ll score. You have my word on that!
Willie
I believe you in a way

I saw my mate the other day…said he’d seen the white pele…so I asked who is he……….HE GOES BY THE NAME OF WAYNE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEH FUCKING LOVE THAT LEGEND!!!!!! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEH ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEH ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEH
Rooney looks like he’s got a bullet proof vest on?
Fellas!
Watching the Brazil Argintine game from the Meadowlands for the 3rd time. Rafa looks big strong,, fast, with a great football mind and touch to match Fergie sign him UP.
GolTV has the game, for their own promos they carry the BundusLeag. They showed in dephth 2 Kagawa goal one on his 23 birth day. Awesome Ferrgie sign him UP.
Dan Welbeck to Sign extention his cost at 21 with this good Euro 20 to 25 mill?
Silly season in full swing. I got a call into SAF when he gets back to me I will let RoM know who else will join and who will go, but you must keep it on the down low.
Rooney after any gametime lay off, is off with his touch, that said, TELL ME A MAN U WANT TO GO TO WAR WITH! HE IS ENGLANDS BEST! LAMPS SAYS HE IS THE BEST HE HAS PLAYED WITH! FUCK YOU RAGS, TABLOIDS EMERGENCY ASS WIPE!!
@ CUBS
I have the Brazil Argentina game on DVR . What a show !
I have Willie on VHS
I have Sir Giles on Beta.
I wounder how Maldini and company would have aproched Messi.
Wolfie I want to run with the pack.
My Dick
You are absolutely bonkers pal, just another reason to love ya
I grew up in the 60′s and 70′s I have many nephews, one skatboarding nugget smoking one as he gets staight A’s has Univerity schoalship. He heard me talking about riding rollercoasters on acid while I was In collage. He and his friends went to Majic Mountian and had their own lifcetime memory. When and if his mom finds out I might ned witness protection and relocation. Her other boy is straight as a arrow and at 19 never had a beer yet.
I completely disagree with the idea that Rooney will be the catalyst for England getting through. We all know there is only one true driving force in the England team, one true leader, one living legend, and it’s not Wayne or Stevie.
When everything is on the line, there’s only one man with the skill, drive and determination to drag the team to victory:
John Fucking Terry.
Anyway I might be his scapgoat.
How would Maldini cope with Messi? He’d simply say, “he’s my back pocket wee man, now see if you can fit into it”
*here’s*
When I’m Right Nobody Remembers.
When I’m Wrong Nobody Forgets,
I saw this on a poster some time ago and thought it was very relevant to the United players who play for ingurland.
Can Rooney handle the pressure? Last time he failed in Big Tournament with The England squad, we knew what happend to him & us..
Haha Tree, Willi:-)
Maldini still the most influential majic I have ever seen on the pitch.
Uma Therman has an ass to die for
Maldini is a god of sorts
For the first time in a long time, I am actually excited to see England play. The things you do for Wazza.
Uma Therman in Pulp Fiction was top dollar.
She was indeed Willie me mate…………Watching Accidental Husband right now…. Fuck me sideways, she is HOT
I thought this may happen as soon as we scrapped a win against Sweden. Our Wayne really is in a no win situation – and you just know if we fail to qualify it will be down to Rooney!!
There was even a journo on the radio this morning saying he should keep Carroll instead of Rooney because of his fantastic display on Friday & because of his wonderful end of season form!! I didn’t see a ‘wonderful end of season’ from Carroll – more someone who had a decent 20 mins in a Cup Final against a team who were defending a lead and that was that!!
Carroll is a tosser and anyone who thinks he should start ahead of Rooney is a tosser also!!
I don’t like Uma Thurman, I like Amy Adams. And Angelina. And Rachel Weisz. And Anne Hathaway for some reason…
Cyril
Not sure I like Uma either but if I had the chance I would bang her senseless!!! ha ha ha ha
Meg Ryan is my babe so piss off the lot of you
So is Terry paying Croatia’s fine?
Cedars – You can keep Meg, this is my dreamgirl:

Cedar my collage love of 3 years and sometime partner until she got married at 28 was 5’11 1/2 inch tall of Swiss-Italian and German long sandy honey golden blond with green eye’s a natioaly ranked water skyer with an olive skin that soaked up the sun. So funny and sexy. I was to imuture in my early 20′s to marry her.
One quik story, she was a women studies/ social worker to be and would come home with games for us to exploe. I walk through the door one day, she has on her old Cathlic school uniform on her hair in pig tales, sucking on a tottsi..pop. and looks me in the eye and asked me. “Are you my new babysitter?” One of the best days of my life.
She had as nice of ass as Umma!.. at the beach would cause boay wrecks.
Boat wreeks.
Cyril
Each to their own mate……….
Zibbie
Fuck me, she sounds sexy pal!!
Zibbie you are obviously semi sober right now.
King Eric- Hello mate. Yes, re KKK United praise its an ood thing. Maybe hes trying to win the club over as SAF replacement.
.
Cedars- roo is no model, but I just viewed a close up of Ribery grinning. Now he is one ugly fucker.
Evening shit shifters, what have I missed?
Take your pick out of this lovely lot…….http://thechive.com/2011/11/30/smile-its-hump-day-60-photos/
LSR no high though. Just can not spell the accordian part of my phoe has no spell check. With my dyslexia and her hot body burned in my mind lost in my own mental space.
Monkey
Not much pal, seems England have a game tonight!!
booandman
Those were some asses pal!!
Redbilly
Cannot argue with that mate, Ribery is indeed one ugly fuck
No Evra in the France team. Say it isn’t so!
Would be nice if Carragher could get through a sentence without saying “y’know”. He’s worse than Beckham.
You can just feel it coming can’t you. All the hype ends in a big flat performance. Hopefully Rooney has a brilliant game tonight. Get at least a goal and be the catalyst. ROOTING FOR WAYNE AND DANNY TONIGHT!!!!
My thoughts are with me Jimmy James, forget about being sun burned to death……
Come ON England
Like the Scapegoat question……. One does wonder, doesn’t one?!
For NRD
I love Stoke I do, Britannia rules

Swing when you’re winning………..you only swing when you’re winning!
Cedars
Is the ankle biter in Cyprus?
Saddest stats from above list are
Dunc Edwards 1955-57 and Dennis Viollet (2 caps?)
Happiest stats. Rooney (77 total caps but all 28 goals as a United man) Get in Wayne!!
anyone feel embarrassed, every time ITV presenters keep asking roy keane stupid questions
Mike
He’s off tomorrow pal
Fuck me the ref is crosseyed!!!
Wayne Rooney is such a dumb fuck, I still love him to bits
Our National Anthem is dull as fuck!! Is the Ukraine one a fuckibg 12 inch?!
Looks like Old Hodge has got some balls on him after all. Carroll dropped. Shock of shocks. I was waiting for Welbz to be dropped in favor of the Scouse Shearer.
Mike,
Still nice to have a manager who actually knows the words…… Just saying!
Always feel a national team needs to have one of its own as manager. Stand with your lads.
Proud of Wayne, Danny and Young. Get in Lads
Front line won’t need preseason because they are all playing together for Euro2012.
Come ON you sons of Richard
Come On Daniel, Ashley and Wazza!
Have England touched the ball yet??
Come on Eileen!!
Come ON Linda!!
Fletch spot on, a restfull 1st part and hit the ground running. 3 points at Everton.
Go United!!
Red steam!
Rooney is having a great game, not touched the ball yet!! ha ha ha
Why do u write stuff like ribery is ugly, what kind of sad people are yous, pathetic shower, does it really matter what people look like?sad very sad…
Roy aploying the heavy flow day dffence. Where us men when this hits our women we hit the links.
Maxie Pads for your heaviest flow days.. women run through a feild of yellow flowers all dressed in white.
Brendan
Nothing new here mate, we are all a bunch of sad bastards
England are making Ukraine look like Spain.
Possesion Ukraine – England60/40 %
Attempts U-E 6-0
Nothing new…
Seriosuly, someone tell me why Parker and Milner are still on the pitch. Take a look at Parker everytime someone pass the ball to him, he will pass it back. What the heck is this?
Milner is shit on the flanks.
Well that was a sitter missed by our ugly fucking striker!
And Rooney missed a free header. Cue for the media to start blaming Rooney.
I hate the bitter cunt, but Joe Hart is top notch
Utd4life, That is news to me mate. I thought Milner was shit everywhere.
And Rooney’s header was on a plate. It felt like he almost forgot where the goal was. Oh well, you know who’ll be to blame for England’s exit.
Mike
Ya, Rooney is ugly, RVP is pretty……Terry is a fuck face!!
Hum, the Blog called so so people purge to bloggg to fegurgetate the hate that lies in us all.
The Dark night. So to show up at a casino and speak of the ills of gaming, to show up at a crack house and speak of sobrity, so piass, to go vist a whore house inAmpeterdame and preach virtue or damnation.
FUCKING BITE ME TO ALL YOU MOTHER FUCKER WHO HATE DADDY FOR FUCKING MOMMY!
Sorry, I forgot we should not be discussing player looks on here, makes us seem silly and daft
I hate the cunt (because he was married to Cheryl for a while), but Ashely Cole is top notch.
Brendan, Yes, looks do matter. Just ask Cedars why he is watching a cooking show each morning.
Balaji. He is shit everywhere but more so on the flanks.
Cedars
Did I say ugly? My mistake, I meant fucking ugly!
Here is a thought for Woy. Since he is picking Milner for his defensive skills then why not play him at RB and Glen Johnson as a winger since Johnson is defensively weak but certainly much better than Milner when going forward?
Someone give Brendan a sweet to suck on…..
Parker looks like Herman Munster from the side. I bet Herman can run with the ball though.
Mike
Shame on you pal, not the place to talk about looks it seems!! Oh and yes I can be a bitch
He fucks farm aminals!
Cyril, LOL! Did you see that strike for Scottie Parker? The one that had the keeper scrambling in front of his goal.
Really, I feel sorry for Welbeck and Rooney. Nearly all of the passes to them are either ahead or behind their feet and each time they pass it to one of their team-mates, the momentum just starts to sag.
Parker just got made to look like he was wearing fucking Herman fucking munster boots!!
Milner is seriously shit and ugly!! ha ha ha
15 million has just been subtracted from scotty parker’s valuation.
He’s got twisted blood I tell ya
Who was that Long Taied Cat in a room full of, rocking chairs?
This was seriously a shit fuck 45 minutes of football
Turned like the barber’s chair
Parker plays the same way I used to.
Crap! The ball is coming towards me! Better get out the way… Bah! Too late… I’d better get rid of it… Here you go cunt, have it back… Ahh, that’s better.
@Cubs – I always liked that one. I definitely need more southern phrases
Good thing England aren’t adopting Greece’s boring tactics…
Cyril
Surely you could not have been that crap mate!!
A tampon change at half. That last Maxie Pad should go straight through to the tampon hall of fame.
@ Zino
how can a Player hv a negative Transfer fee
Costas
Ha ha ha
Countdown on to Rooney scapegoat time! 5 4 3 2 1…….
Cedars – Worse. I have as much ball skill as John Terry. Luckily I was third choice sub defender so didn’t have to play much. Usually it was just elbows-up, a few nasty stomps on the ankle, that sort of thing.
Alabama American football NCAA team is called the Crimson Tide! Run from man’s curse. Missed named if a man loves a women who turely turns into Mrs. Hyde. For 8 long, long,long long,long,long,long,long days. Then about the time you have your passport 1000 quid and a topical map of the Highlands. She wakes on the 9th day sweet as box of man sugar.
Pundits are blasting on about Rooney looking rusty?! No fucking shit bys? How fucking thick are you? He played the last month of the season with an injury and hasn’t played since, he’s hardly gonna be gillette mac 3 turbo!!!
Cyril
Same here mate…….I was so shit it was unreal, mind you no fucker got past me……Used similar tactics as you, elbow in the face and a smile at the ref!!
Get ready for it, rooneys not fit, and young is shit no mention of millner or parker been total crap and thats just ITV !!
Inform the DEA/FBI/CIA that we have the scapegoat in sight! Position locked! Come on wazza! Sicken the haters!
Didn’t even have time to breathe after that half
Surely the Ukraine cannot go out? Those babes would just break my heart
Mike Ballack got it right. Roney after a game layoff for what ever reason his timing is off. Good news at 18 it took 2,3 games to get it back. He will have a moment of Majic yet.
Roo Beauty….. Errugly!
Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooney
Roooooooney………Fucking love the ugly scouse bastard
ROOOOOOONNNEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
It had to take a Ukraine screw up for England to score. Anyways, I am happy that Wazza scored.
YS
Lmao!!
First goalscorer 6/1. Thank you very much!
Mikey – I had him at anytime and England to win?
Still sweating!
We’re gonna win the league, we’re gonna win the league………And now you gonna believe us and now you gonna beliiiiieeeve us we’re gonna win the league……
What???? Wrong song sorry
Milner yer wank
Young’s right foot rapes shit
James Milner is as useless as a lump of oatmeal in attack.
Ashley’s got that crossing down to a tee!
Great boot of the line by the Cunt
Are they shouting ” Sheva” Or “Shabba” ?
The announcer says Terry and Lescott shown up for pace. What else is new?
Ukraine just got shafted.
Terry is now a national hero after he was TOASTED for pace and got back to the ball.
That was a goal but AMAZING determination by CLLC to get there.
GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY! The commentators are glad it wasn’t brought in for this tournament. Yeh, great clearance from the cunt, cos he got turned for pace, AGAIN. I want England to win, but just can’t support some of these second rate players.
That was in lol. Cunt face didn’t clear it in time!
Terry… that ball was over the line you cheating cunt!
I still think Ribery is ugly as fuck……..Is that inappropriate??
Damn I missed that, had to take a piss!! France losing 1 nil
So the secret to be in the England squad is to get shafted for pace and then make these amazing goal line clearances. Oh, I would absolutely love it if England meet Spain in the QF’s.
I bet goal line tech comes in now England have benefitted from it. Just like they want a different match decider than penalty shoot out after the chavs won the camps league.
I seriously missed it, was a goal folks??
Good lad Terry , what a clearance, Roy made the right decision takin him.
No
“benefitted from not having it”
Wazza looks gassed.
Willie
I’ve got 2-0 and 1-1 for france game so could do with a couple more goals!!!
Some folk are just full of shit
Yes goal no it is ok to mention hi reswembulance to Quzzi Motta.
Carroll the savior comes onto the pitch.
Hold your breath, Andy the Donkey is on
These commentators are full of shit!
Terry is a right ugly fucker!
In cas of being one who’s leavle of shit thas ha reached full. An enimmmma wil help. I recomend wet and wild.
England midfield is worse than our makeshift ones from last season. Nothing distinctive done tonight. They will get run over next round.
Mike
Not the place to discuss player looks mate
Sorry lads, I apologise for my comments about Parker. He’s not as bad as me, he’s worse. Crap bastard makes me look like Zidane.
I like my women DeBushy
Cedars
You’re wrong! This us the beautiful republik of mancunia!!
Ha ha Sweden 2 nil up now…………Looks Like France v Spain
Commentator ..”not too many strikers at euro’s with Carrolls build and approach….there’s things he cant do but things only he can do”….”now England can now do that to relieve some pressure” …cue the ball pumped up to Pikey Carroll ,bounces off head and goes for Ukraine goal kick … yeah only he can do that and thank fuck for that ..What a load of shite
Robbery assault and battery!
Mike
You’re full of shit mate
Can I get the last 90 minutes of my life back? That shit made me numb. And it’s going to get even worse. England v Italy. The misery continues.
Singh7 – my thoughts exactly mate.
England are shite, midfield what midfield & they slag of Greece.
It seems if your shit you win cup this season.
Zlatan’s goal was class
2 wrong calls made it right!?!
The Zlatan of Swaat.
Are we chelsea in disguise?!! Arrrrrrree we cheeeeeeeelsea iiiiin diiiiisssguise?!
In case you didn’t know, it was Gerrard’s goal.
Costas….
England v Greece in the semifinal ? Good as done mate. Germany and Italy can’t hold back.
DESTINY
Joe Hart is gorgeous
A 5th official and a linesman can’t spot the ball crossing the line? Words fail me.
Imo Ukraine deserved to go through, but this is the kind of game that makes me believe England might go all the way in this tournament.
@Cyril
Haha, it’s always Gerrard’s goal!
@Fletch
I’d LOVE for that to happen mate. The tournament’s most negative team and Greece facing off!
Was it baby bird that sang “you’re gorgeous”?
Tyldsley after Johnson’s professional foul on Shevchenko to stop Ukraine breaking: “Shevchenko has bought himself a foul from Johnson.” I just can’t stand that kind of bias.
Sometimes I think that if we get Ibracadabra we vould get our number 7 and our “new” Cantona. He is very intelligent, whereever he goes he wins. No matter what.
And I know people will state that Ibra is arrogant…. Yes he is, but his teammates seem not to care, so fuck it, we could need an Ibra. I knwo we have Dannyboy Chicha and Rooney, but just imagine our team with Ibra, CRAZY!
Of course this is in fantasy land, the transfer for Ibra, cause he is almost 30, but if it was up to me, I would surprise the world and buy him!!!!!!!!!!! whatever it takes.
WeAreUnited
Way out of our price range!
I know mate, and being real I don’t think we would get it, cause it’s not United standard bringing too arrogant players, but still imagine him with number 7 and scoring gals like that,
It reminds me of Cantona. He has flair. and we have to remember that every players has its other side, so don’t let his arrogance fool you, because of that he is what he is. A top player
Haha. Rooney wants hair like Carroll!!!
Can I just say a word for Larry Whites decision to drop Evra. Hahahahahaha. I hope Spain turn them over, unless Evra gets recalled. He may not have had his best season, but he’s still better than Cliche and I thought he did ok against England.
Our players have taken England to the QF.
@Cubs 21:46 How about the The Great Ibrahimo or Zlatan the Great ?
LSR awesome. Love your mind. If shit hit the fan I want you on my team. In repect to knowlede of one of my weakness, or strengts. I want you on my team for titlay winks, or combat.
Goal line technology? Let’s try Off side technology! Well done Ingurland. Deserve QF place.
