This single comment from Foreman makes me want to stab my eyes out.
Come. On.
He scored against Switzerland and an incredibly poor Croatia, and suddenly people are comparing him to Pelé?!
He should not even be mentioned in the same breath as Pelé. It truly is pathetic. What impresses me most is how he gets raved about when he's on form (goal against Arsenal, a year of nothing and now two good games in Portugal) and nobody knows he exists for most of the year. Amazing. Got more yellow cards than goals last season and was looking like being at Everton on £13000 a week next season. But four goals later he's the new Pelé and is worth £50 million. Pele scored over a thousand goals in his career - Rooney has a hell of a lot to do.
If he's so phenomenally good, why isn't he banging them in for Everton? And don't give me that rubbish about them being a bad team...a class player will score a good few in any team.
To say that Rooney is anywhere near as good as Pele was is utter bull. I saw Pelé play (on the telly, obviously), and he was a genius. Best player I've ever seen. Rooney, as well as he's done, is nowhere near as good as Pelé was at 17.
I mean, Pelé scored on his debut against Argentina when he was 16 for feck sake.
He "scored on debut against Argentina in 1957 and went on to score 95 goals in 104 matches for Brazil. Notched a total of 1,280 goals in his 1,363 games" according to [URL]http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1245068,00.html[/URL]
So in conclusion, anyone who even mutters Rooney's name in the same sentence as Pelé's in a comparitive sense truly is a complete and utter idiot.
I mean Pelé. PELÉ for fook sake. Is having Rooney compared to him?
And another point - the irony of "Roomania" is hilarious.
