But your observation of Rooney's lack of success internationally is quite lame. In tournaments Gerrard and Lampard both failed miserably as for the rest of English players. Lampard missed so many chances in The World Cup if i remember correctly. I dont like Rooney just bcoz he happens to play for United. He is good and you know it too. England always had a problem with coaches. Yes they appont coaches and not managers until now with Fabio.
He is not bad to make that clear. He has talent in form of pace and reesilience to hold the ball. However what he lacks is maturity, he needs be more clinical and should improve his behaviour in the sense that he should have some control in his temper. I don't mind him showing his temper when he plays for United [
], but for England that would be unacceptable.
Even Zidane whom you mentioned, his actions in the WC final was regrettable even though he was angered but his one second of rage denied France the WC.
Another problem with Rooney is that he has not really improved over the years. He looked the most promising player for England in Euro 04 but even now after five years he looks promising.
My point is that English players play only in friendlies and that too against weaker teams.
That too against weaker teams only. Bring Spain, or Argentina and see how they will struggle.

As for Walcott being genuinely better than Rooney, let the kid show his class on the international stage rather than at Emirates and then we will discuss who is better. Infact the comparison is rubbish as one is a striker while the other is a winger. They cannot be compared. I am not dismissing Walcott as you did to Rooney. Nest time you will start comparing Benayoun & Walcott as better players than Rooney or Ronaldo.
Hasn't he played as a striker for England? I thought so. Anyway I agree Walcott needs to show himself in the international field and he will.[/CODE]
Why will I compare Benayoun to Rooney?
