He scored a header by running in when the ball was literally about to go in anyway. That is not, "winning the game for us" by any stretch of the imagination. It's called being a greedy bastard who does fuck all every time he plays for England in any major tournament. Even Shola could have scored that.
Managers don't affect your first touch and everytime he's played for England it's been abysmal and it's like playing with ten men. Now I rate Rooney for UTD (out wide) and he demolishes us every time we play them but he's had his chance. I'd rather we start with the majority of the attack of a team who just finished second than an ungrateful bastard, who doesn't even play in the Europa League and lets us down, game in game out.
Ah, so we're not counting Euro 2004 either now. Keep it up.
Funny the impact a few meaningless friendlies has on people's brains.
