Ronaldo

He scores and creates more, he's better. You were the one who replied to it.

No, don't be ridiculous. Age plays no part whatsoever in this argument. Rooney will be the better player in a couple of years but right now he's a fair way behind. As for Drogba being 'a nothing nobody until his mid-late 20's' - that's the kind of rubbish that should be omitted from these arguements. Mourinho paid £24m for him just after he turned 26.

Rooney's goalscoring record is second to none? Is this not the first season he's hit 20 in the league? This is the first season that Rooney's looked like a natural goalscorer. Drogba has scored more league goals in 3 of the last 4 seasons despite Rooney's recently instated penalty taking responsiblities.

He's the best by a distance now that Rio's legs have fallen off.

Who've I compared Lampard with?

He has been consistently one of the better attacking players in the england set up, I'd defy you to find atoo many who's outshone him in the england set up attackng wise. I mean he was the leading scorer in the WC qualifiers in the european qualifliers (Ithink) that shows a decent level of form. I know its a few years back but from what little i remeber he was decent in WC2006 and defiitely a star in 2004, thats 2 major tournaments where he's applied him self, more than 80% of the england squad. It's laughable saying that he's not in the same league, I'm not sure what difference there is between the repsective players to make them 'leagues apart' but I'd like to find out. This is coming from Drogba fan. Drogba is a lot more intelligent off the ball and a better finisher.

Yep.

Yeah, they were lying.

Supporting Argentina is wrong for a number of reasons.

Then pissing on them, expect it on his twitter very soon.

People like you make me sick. Non-English people not supporting England? The 'anyone but' mentality.

People like you make me sick. Spain is my answer, i've come to like them a little bit.

He's a disgusting human being. When he dies, i'll hate him a little less.

His judgement off the ball has never been great. Since signing for Man U he's never been great for England either. Completely laughable that some on this board call him better than Drogba. He will be one day but right now he's not in the same league.

Something we should all be very proud of.

No, they don't.

fyp I don't believe for one second that Francesco Totti wouldn't have improved that insipid rubbish. Cassano has retired from international football for the time being. He was getting married this summer and refused to be available from what I heard. I never mentioned Cassano.

And as a result they've all slapped each other and their country in the face, hard.

fyp I don't believe for one second that Francesco Totti wouldn't have improved that insipid rubbish.

Deserve it for not calling up Totti or Balotelli.

I know the avatar depicts that comedian who died but it keeps reminding me of that scene in Scarface.

Italy and France finish bottom of groups containing South Africa and New Zealand, life is f***ing good.

so if he is MotM without scoring on sunday you want him dropped ? Heskey was dropped after two good games If you think Heskey had a good game against Algeria, you're a bit mad. Took him 24 minutes to make a successful pass and only managed to make 5 in the entire game. He was absolutely terrible.

I didn't criticise the players, apart from the fact that they're pretty poor at football and like to drink.

Based on a game against 10 drunks, one of them Craig Moore? You must have seen none of the last WC. You need help, my friend. Your hatred of Australia is pathological. It's always drunks this and convicts that. I mean, I know you're a pathetic little wind up merchant, but get a grip. It's patently obvious you got your impression of the Germany-Australia match from a tabloid paper rather than by watching the match - or else you'd realise we lost because a Dutch c*** ran up the white flag before the match started and our best player was so frustrated he got sent off. It's hard to support Germany, but it's s**** like yours and every other condescending, arrogant English w***** that makes it easier... Where did I say otherwise? That kinda plays to my overall point anyway.
