Wayne Rooney has his priorities straight.
“With all the trophies I’ve won so far, it’s involved so much hard work from myself and my team-mates, so I’d never give them away for anything,” said Rooney. “But to win a World Cup would be an unbelievable feeling.”

Rooney – already a legend!
where abouts does he say united medals > world cup?
wonder which cock head jerno wanker asked him that daft question. poor lad can’t win, all the ABU’s will now be sayin his hearts not innit, if he’d said yes they’d call him a tratoir. fuckin hope england get knocked out with the yanks. da silva’s and ando is where my moneys goin,brazil brazil brazil
united>england
England, you are on notice….. The yanks are coming!!!
I can’t wait to watch this one at The Press Room here in Santa Barbara. It’s full of English guys. Can’t wait to see them watch us beat them. Seriously, though, I see a draw…..
jack, he’s obviously been asked if he would swap all his medals at united for the wc, he answered ^^
The arrogant smug cunt dipper Colin Murray on five live was saying “it will be Slovenia that finish second to Ingerlund”. How cocky. What about the yanks, they were excellent in the Confederations and on the day could quite easily give Ingerlund an upset.

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Wayne-Rooney-I-wouldn-t-swap-my-United-medals-for-an-England-World-Cup-win-article245075.html?
eh, in context it sounded to me like he would rather win the world cup than win with United and he was just trying to be ambiguous to avoid answering the question.
the mirror, haha.
Collin Murray is an a55, England will top the group followed by the US of A.!!!
“I said beforehand that I don’t think we would be too worried about the United States”
Alan Shearer is another c*nt, he probably had no idea about the US at all.. making stupid comments like that, no wonder he helped Newcastle went to the champ.
clint dempsey to put a brace past us and a tiny tears og, with rooney brace and hargo changing the game when he comes on for the useless stevie me
wow Scott,
I am a little dissapointed that quote seems to be a bit of a stretch…
you dont need to prove that Rooney loves United…
Seriously??
usa are the only team to beat spain in the last 3 years ,

Love utd,love england.
COME ON ENGLAND!!!
rooneyisclass, ever heard the fans at an ingurland game chanting stand up if you hate man u. firstly it is classless secondly it is disrespectful, this is why am supporting brazil in the finals
So fucking what,those fans are dickheads.Im English and proud,I think any Englishman that does`nt support England is a traitor,utd fan or not.
am a traitor then. there is no chance i’ll be cheering for me are fat frank, united>england always,
can i ask you if you were offered united to win the treble again or england to win the w/c with liverpool and ciddy winning trophies which would you prefer??
@The radLegion
where in that quote does he say he values his titles more than a World Cup…all he is saying is that he is proud of his club success and desires the same for the National team…anything more read into that is simply irresponsible
Hang on
Just a thought
On our well written banner we have:
United
Kids
Wife
So where does England fit?
Reply to your hearts content devils
come on englanddd
Both,I cant see how an Englishman could support anyone else,utd have produced some of the greatest players to have played for England.
So If an England team with Rooney,Rio,Hargreaves, Carrick and maybe Owen wer playing Brazil,You would want Brazil to win?? I really cant understand that mentality,to me that is the same as the morons who boo utds English players.
how is it the same?? i chose not to support my national team, where as they berate players playing for the team they support. you understand when they chant stand up if you hate man u is disrespectful to munich victims, you do know that united didn’t actually produce rooney (everton) rio carrick (west ham) hargreaves (bayern) , owen (dippers), they just improve them. its more than that anyway englands football team is more politics than football, the fa screw united time after time, screw fergie time after time, and i hate it because i love united. i don’t actually support brazil, i support manchester united, amen
@ vidic will get ya
how does that high horse ride?
ovbiously your going to get fans slagging off our players cause liverpool,city,leeds fans go to england games, if utd fans went to england games u’d probably hear them slagging off barry,lescott etc, would city fans stop supporting england just cause some utd fans was slagging there players off?? would they fuck
i personally couldn’t hack being sat supporttin a team with some disrespectful prick sat next to me chanting about munich. thats its my opinion, think am a moron all you want, i personally would rather go on a pre season tour to asia or usa than go to the world cup, united>england
berba, its quite scary up here lol
The vast majority of United fans share the United>England sentiment.
The reasons have been well documented, not least in the ROM, often.
May i suggest those relatively new fans who wonder why, take a peek at the umpteen articles relating to this.
Personally, i don’t give a flying fuck about Ingurland, i’m glad for the United players who do well but cannot, under any circumstances find myself cheering Fat Frank, Stevie Me, Tiny Tears and the like.
United> England!
Always will be!
vidic and its in my blood – Spot on. Couldn’t give a fuck. There is not a fucking chance that I can possibly cheer a goal scored by Fat Frank, Stevie Me, Cole, Terry even for the country I was born and live in. Cannot begin to imagine them being knighted if they won the damn thing. You would never hear the end of it. Sir Steven Gerrard ugghh. It makes my skin crawl. It isn’t a case of doing it to “follow” or “to be different” as most fans of other clubs say to me I honestly just feel so indifferent to Ingerlund. I never used to be like this when the likes of Robbo, Butcher, Pearce represented. Infact I actually supported the team and loved them winning. Spain 82, Mexico 86 are my earliest memories. But for the last 10 years or so I have never seen a more loathsome set of players. This is before you go into all the “Stand up if you hate Manu” and Beckham threats, Ronaldo hatred, Rio’s lengthy drug ban from the cunts at the FA.
my sentiments exactly ^^
great name 2!
“We all agree, United are better than England”. !
exactly as a kid i loved the likes of the euro 96 and even w/c 98, my turning point was the sheer hatred towards beckham, always remember the derby game when the ciddy fans were throwing pound coins at becks and he picked them up and and tucked them in his sock, i never really understood the amanosity towards beckham as it was a ridiculous red card, then it all started to make sence, he was united through and through and it was that simple, no one booed southgate, batty, ince, or even shearer for it was his foul that cost ingurland’s progression, now am older and wiser and its will always be united>england. roonyisclass, you never answered my question united treble or england w/c with scouse pl winners and a ciddy trophy?? to me its a no brainer.
No way i support England. To me United>England. Winning treble is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
carling cup win over ciddy/fac win over leeds>w/c
United> England
Always will be.
Same as most people though, I always used to be a big England fan before Saint Steven, Fatboy, Wet floor and Cashley came around.
1990 Italia World Cup. I was so gripped during that campaign. Because England were managed by the legend and great man Bobby Robson RIP. When Platt scored I lost it. When Lineker took it to extra time I have never jumped around more.
Then the prick Waddle did that. Waddle on the ESPN commentary, along with Jon Champion, disgraceful.
kel – Are you from England? If you are not your argument doesn’t apply. Would you rather United won the treble or your OWN country the World Cup? I just have a recollection that you were from another country mate.
vidic will get ya 15 – Carling Cup win over Citeh and FA Cup win over dirty leeds > World Cup.
It’s probably not my place, but i will add my 2 cents about this even though i am not from England.
Having lived in England for 3 years, when i was younger i always cheered them on in the major tournaments. I felt attached to the team. It’s not like Greece were present anyway. The turning point for me didn’t come in 98. I was thankful the media cunts were making a fuss out of it because i sensed that Becks would come out stronger and United would benefit from that. What did it for me was 2000 and the stick Phil Neville got. That’s when i realized that no matter what happens, the media will always find a United player as the scapegoat.
From then on, i would just watch the England games to see how the United lads were doing. Also, i could never bring myself to cheer on Stevie Me or John Terry.
king eric, your comment to kel made me wonder if barca/madrid fans prefer their clubs to spain, same with the milans and italy. out of curiosity does anyone no??
infact i wonder if ciddy would rather they won the cup than ingurland winning the world cup, or dippers and the league
king eric
colin murray is a decent fuckin guy from norn iron, dont forget you are from leeds arnt ya? so you shouldnt be pasted with the scum brush, i dont give a fuck about united>ingurland but i do have a passion for my country..tell me this do english people on here that support united only dislike the national team or do they hate everything english??? NORTHERN IRELAND 1-0 ENGLAND
The US team is TERRIBLE, trust me. They would struggle to avoid relegation if placed in the prem, I shit you not.
I want England to win the world cup because I know why they are there and so does John Terry lumps and stevia gbh and that’s the man I want to win the world cup. Ya can’t be a united fan and come on here and say gotta hate tiny tears is right fuck John Terry then June roles around and say come on jt do it for te lions on your chest. Emily does a chant called rooneys gonna get ya based on the way she herself picked up the song rhytems gonna get ya and on the related videos, which isn’t there now itust of been takin down was 2 scouse lads in england shirts chanting rooneys gonna get ya rooneys gonna get ya to whatever team England where playins tram bus. Dippers loving everton boy united man Rooney. I never want to be that type of person
Costa nit even about football this off topic but fatu umanga died
dont mean u have 2 celebrate a goal that terry gerrard or whatever scores, i support england, i dont cheer or fuck all if any of them 1 scores
drew vader, not seen much of them but they are the only team to beat spain since the start of 07, they beat them in that confederation cup.
ulster red so what if he’s from leeds mate he’s a red and the fact colin murray was probing rooney about the importance of his medals for united, and being a dipper makes united fans dislike him, nice guy or not
say united and chelsea get to the final and it kicks off, with rooney and john terry both get sent off for violent conduct, outside the ground chelsea fans give it munich 58, and it kicks off. imagine 3 weeks later goin to south africa and sitting next to some rent boys and celebrating a fat frank winner. it makes me sick to even think, roll on tomorrow,
@GHTT:
I know. I just found out about it. Really sad.
Any thoughts on tomorrow?
I think/hope we’ll go with a simple 442 of GNev (wouldnt be my personal choice but I think he’ll get the start) Wes, Vidic, Evra, Antonio, Carrick, Fletch, Giggs, Berba and Wayne. With the returning VdS in goal.
Should be enough me thinks, even though West Ham are playing better. And I am looking forward to it because I think their young Welsh ladJack Collison is a really good player, so it will be interesting to see what he does against some top opposition.
My prediction: It will be tense, not the best performance, but we get out of their with a 1-0 win. A Vidic header as the winner. Mark it down
drew vader think be a professional 2-0 win, team is pretty much as i would go for, think berba and tonio goals tomoz, am going down, gonna be fucked comin of 12 hour nights going straight home shower then to the train station, things you do for love eh?? lol
King Eric@00:30 Spot on again!…. Sir St stevie me? Shit, I nearly threw my kebab up! I don’t even know who is in the England group (apart from usa) but whoever they are they got my support. Cheer gerrard, lampard, terry,cole etc etc? Go and get fucked!
slovenia and algeria rob
i don’t think i’d cheer if John Terry or the scouse starfish scores, but i still will support England (especially Roo) and hope they go all the way, even though they’d need a shitload of luck to achieve that aim……
besides, this whole England vs United thing is so old-hat. It’s a boring cliche and i’m sick of hearing it.
Scoles leaving? No!! No! No!! http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Paul-Scholes-reveals-he-may-quit-Manchester-United-at-end-of-season-article245217.html
suppose he has to retire some day:(
though it could be media bollocks
1. Drew Vader- USA 2-0 Spain. Go eat a dick.
2. All of you bitching about england’s fans- if you don’t like being alongside disrespectful fucks, then you should know that there are United fans that sing about Hillsborough, abuse opposing players, and act generally cuntish. Are you still supporting the club?
Don’t ignore Algeria guys, they beat Egypt to get here and Egypt are a quality team.
Off topic please! I like this. Giggis greatest ever? http://www.tribalfootball.com/scholes-giggs-stands-alone-man-utd-greatest-488121
cav what about fa screwing us time after time. united fan’s don’t sing about hillsborough, if your refering to the murderer chant thats in reference to heysel, and yes usa did beat spain, burley beat united does that mean they could win the champions league,
oh and it was only this year liverpool fans sung at the everton fans 2-0 to the murderers as if they’re proud, imagine what thats like to hear for the relitives
supprise everybody is writting off the likes of u.s.a slovenia and algeria!
so you all think it will be a walk in the park for ingerland ?? am pretty sure they might as well struggle to go past the group stages the yanks with the likes of clint dempsey, tim howard who got a good experience of english football are gonna give them a good spanking they deserve and ooh if my memory serves me right they even struggled to beat slovenia in a friendly !!
and i also don’t think they will cope with the speed of the algerians……….but again they say its general cappelo in charge only time will tell…..
Ulster Red – Born in Harrogate and live near York actually pal. You seem to like to bait people on here. My opinion is I don’t like Colin Murray, never have. I don’t know him but from what I have seen of him he is a creepy little tosser. Used to lick all the “rock stars” arses on Radio one and just seems a know it all little shit. I may well be wrong, he may be a decent bloke.
For what it is worth I fucking hate Leeds Utd. I have grown up with Scum fans. They are the most bitter, ungracious, racist moronic set of fans you are likely to meet.
By the way what has me being from Leeds got to do with Colin Murray?
They asked Beckham the same question last World Cup, “Would you rather win the World Cup or the Champion League?”. Stupid fucking question, he was the England captain, of course he’d rather win it. Moronic journalists trying to turn the public against players…and they wonder why they buckle under the fucking pressure every 4 years.
My prediction: Rooney to have a blinder but be let down by Fat boy Lampard passing sideways for the whole campaign, Stevie Me doing fuck all, Tiny Tears showing up England by being his usual prick self and all 3 missing penalties in the shoot-out against Portugal in the quarter finals. Who’ll eventually lose to Brazil anyway.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnderson-son-son
Was amusing seeing all the little Ingerlunders watching the draw excitedly chanting “Easy, Easy”. Just can’t see why they can be that passionate about the National team. They just don’t fill me with that passion, not remotely.
Costas – The treatment and abuse of Phil Nev was a disgrace.
Cav — lol one game huh?
How about, El Salvador 2 – 2 usa
Costa Rica 3 – 1 usa
or my personal favorite, Trinidad and Tobago 2 – 1 usa
I’m guessing you are a fellow yank, but dude, seriously, if you think the national team is good then I honestly feel sorry for you. Frankie fucking Hidjunk plays for the team, thats all the evidence I need….
@sam the kenyan red. I totaly agree with you sam.dn’t anderate the likes of slovenia, algeria and usa, they can upset anyone.
@King Eric: It wasn’t like Phil Neville fielded that second string side against Romania anyway. But hey, at least no one from United got blamed for the 2002 World Cup exit. Seaman made sure of that.:P Although for a moment i was afraid that they were going to blame Scholesy for gifting the ball away just before Rivaldo equalised.
One not being too passionate about their national team isn’t something that only happens in England. Before Euro 2004, most Greek fans put their clubs ahead of their country. The situation changed slightly after we won the trophy, but not too much. Personally, i am not so passionate for the Greek national team as i am for United. When Ronaldo scored against Greece in 2004 i cheered only to have a room full of people look at me with weird looks!
Regarding the game today, it can get tricky. West Ham gave us a goiod run for our money in February and we needed Ryan’s special goal to beat them. I hope we won much more comfortably today. The good news is that our defense is starting to regain some stability. Lets hope Brown and Vida remain fit for the long haul because i can’t see when Evans, Rio and O’Shea will be back.
you gotta love him
vwgy15- there are united fans that sing about Hillsborough, too. let’s not let the red-tinted glasses get a little too thick. every club has shitty fans, United included.
Drew Vader- for T&T, 9 of those players aren’t in our starting 11 at this point. for costa rica, it was 5. we ended up topping the group anyway and we were up 2-0 against brazil before shitting the bed. admittedly, we’ve had some luck, but to say we’re “TERRIBLE” is ignorant.

@ulster red. Colin murray is a first class knob. Scouse loving cunt. At least he can enjoy his thursday Nites on channel 5 a bit more now. Fuckin bell end! I cheer ireland on everytime and was a bit Pissed over that cheating Bastard henry but i can tell you i was more annoyed wit the rentboys goal the other week against us. If it was a choice between an irish world cup win or united 4 in a row it’s a no brainer. United>anything
John Terry to fcukup against USA allowing Landon to equalize & Rooooney to save England at the death – 2-1 to England…And oh, Terry cried on Capello’s shoulder to say sorry, but was pushed away! The kind of England match I LUV to watch!
At Costa. I was also like that when Greece played Portugal in the final. I was in Cyprus and i was watching the match at my uncle’s. When Ronaldo started crying, I was crying with him because i felt so bad for him as a United fan. . I don’t want England to have any success unless the majority of the starting eleven is United players which also includes Becks, and there is no terry, lampard and gerrard, which is never going to happen
I’m not from england but i just despise the idea of cheering lumpard and the likes… i just choose to watch teams with united players in it and hope they do well… for me though i’d happily accept ingerland winning the wc (very unlikely) but only if ROONEY wins the golden boot and it ensures him the ballon D’or next year that will be great
But knowing ingerland even if that happened (ROONEY being top scorer, player of the tournament and eventually winning the wc and ballon D’or) they’d big up how ‘BRAVE’ terry was and how fantastic lumpard passed the ball arounf and that the chelsea boys carried the team on their own… SO i say FUCK it rather win the treble with Rooney being ‘OUR’ main man that should be good enough
@Greek-South African girl:
Hi! Nice to see a fellow Greek over here. I was talking about that game in the group stages when Ronaldo made it 2-1 to Greece. I thought, “what the hell? Greece will win anyway, why shouldn’t i celebrate Ronnie’s goal”? My best mate told me in a humorous tone “if Portugal equalise we will all chase you”!
In the final, i did have mixed emotions but i sided more with Greece. But like you i felt so bad for Ronaldo. It was a big blow for him. He was already their best player even though he was 19 at the time.
Christmas time

Macheda is GOD
hey mate you’ve been gone a while
to be fair, I wouldn’t be surprised if USA finished top of that group – the Aussies got a bloody tough fraw and we will do well to finish second, and hopefully come against USA or England… I hope and pray!
I don’t know how you reached the conclusion that United medals matter more to him than the world cup when Rooney didn’t say anything of that sort !
I can understand why some united fans dont support england, the abuse our players have got down the years has been disgraceful but not surprising considering our success jealous cunts.
@ulster red
colin murray is a dickhead mate every time he interveiwed oasis he was stuck up their backside he’s a complete arselicker
Vidic will get ya,dont talk to me like Im some prick,of course I Know rooney,owen etc didnt come through the ranks at utd,I`ve been goin utd before you were even born,what I meant was some of englands greatest players have also been some of utds greatest players.
I have no problem with utd fans not giving a shit about england,but to support another team that are playing england,especially when it has utd players in it is a joke!
king eric
you are from leeds but that doesnt mean your a cunt, colin murray is a dipper (which i diskike) but hes a decent guy out of football..i like to have a bit of craic here but some people that post just lick each others arses no matter what they say, i dont like it, no one can have their opinion unless its the same as a few posters on here without getting slated, i have no problem against yourself or anyone else on this great site but i will always speak my mind regardless if people dont agree with it.
roasty belfast red
i couldnt care what you think about united > ireland mate and thats not me being anything but a united fan and a northern ireland fan
ulster red – Fair enough mate. Hope you don’t think I “lick arse”.
king eric
