i-Ram Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 World Class.Hopefully will be England's all time top goal scorer tonight.Hipsters and haters gonna hate.I like him Daveo, and he has been a fantastic servant to our national team, but you and I definitely have different interpretations of World Class. I doubt if you asked the top 10 football writers in the UK to pick 2 even 3 World XIs that he would feature in many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 It's a embarrassingly English thing to discredit, and in some cases, hate our own.Like Lampard, Rooney is vastly under-rated as an England player. His level has been diluted by the averageness which surrounds him. Far better players than Rooney have been part of far worse performing national sides, yet do not get the blame for it. Rooney doesn't get credit simply because England have been rubbish.I was talking the other night, having seen some of those clips in @curtains thread, Malcolm Christie would get in this England side in my opinion, which shows how far we have regressed from the riches of options when the likes of Robbie Fowler, Ian Wright and Stan Collymore couldn't get in the side, to a team which Jamie Vardy is good enough for! Rooney won't be truly recognised until he's been finished 10 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Depressed with him. With Van Persie leaving I thought he'd raise his game. Got him as captain on fantasy football.. Regretting it fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Most football writers would have no more than 2 strikers in their World XI's and Rooney wouldn't be included, I wouldn't either. He's still world class, just not in the top 2 or even 5 in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if you asked the top 10 football writers in the UK to pick 2 even 3 World XIs that he would feature in many. the problem you have is that this era has Messi and Ronaldo. Take those two away, then the term 'World Class' drops down a level and Rooney is then thereabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 At the end of the day, it's irrelevant to compare Rooney with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo. He's the best we've got by a mile, and he's been that for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 It says a lot when Man Utd fans are calling for James Wilson to start over him. Rooney has to drop into midfield if he wants to have a longer career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Neymar 23. 44 goals in 66. That's world class. How many goals has Rooney scored in major tournaments? How many have been against teams that barley have any registered professional footballers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
