Agree.
Got a sneaky feeling had he not been English, many of those saying he isn't world class would have a different opinion.
Though I suppose it grinds your teeth reading about how amazing a player is week in week out, I get the same with Ibrahimovic, he barely even have to touch the ball for the journos over here to go mental.
EDIT: Would like to see Rooney being given a tried in the England team with a Drogba-type role, with two of Young, Cole, SWP and Walcott playing off him. Could possibly get Lampard and Gerrard working in midfield as well, with Lampard playing the same role as the does for Chelsea, Gerrard doing Ballacks job and Hargreaves, Carrick or Barry playing in Essiens role. Would definitely prefer Hargreaves out of those three though, he's the only one who is even remotely close to Essien in terms of passing.
