"You've got to really take your hat off to the tactical approach of Northern Ireland coming in this game" says Graham Le Saux. Yeah, what a genius move it was to lob everybody behind the ball for the first half and hope in the second. Note: I'm not knocking the NI performance, but the tactics really were exactly what you would have predicted.
But Sven, one of that game's well-respected managers, can do worse, oh yes. Not only did we have to continue with the nonsensical 4-5-1 rubbish (we're playing Northern Ireland ffs, a team we should be attacking for 90% of the match, on an extremely narrow pitch. whywhywhwyhwy?) but then, at the end of the first half when bloody Shrek-fase decides to act like a retarded monkey why on earth didn't Sven pull him off straight away? Rooney may be almost completely devoid of common sense, but A) he was playing greedily, and poorly, and B) he's never going to learn that he can't act like an idiot when he wants to unless you show him a lesson.
And then, after NI score and you start to think things couldn't get any worse, that complete buffoon of a manger takes off the player with the best long range shot on the pitch and replaces him with a holding midfielder. There's 15 minutes on the clock, you're 1 - 0 down to a team you shouldn't be, and you bring on bloody Owen Hargreaves. An out and out midfield scrapper. Absolutely illogical.
Nice one, you passion-less Swedish hove.

Zlatan's better than Rooney as well.
There's no way Rooney's better than Henry - perhaps technically (but then again only slightly) but in pace, experience, temperament, and footballing intelligence, Rooney's far behind.
Kaka's better than Rooney.
Henry's better than Kaka.

Henry's better than Kaka.
If Rooney continues to develop at the pace he is doing so, he will eventually be better than Henry, but right now, no chance.
His temperament is still a major issue, and Henry is far more effective for Arsenal than Rooney is for Man United. Henry scores a bundle and sets up pretty much all the rest; something which is way beyond Rooney right now.
As I said, no doubt he will in the future outclass Henry, but currently, he's never better.

I said best "forward".

I disagree - Michael Owen is suprisingly good in the air, despite yesterday's pefromance.

"Shrek-boy" is the best forward in the world. Why do you hate him?

"Shrek-boy" is the best forward in the world. Why do you hate him?
