Ah yes the game where Rustu had said pre-match he wasn't worried about Rooney :-D
Rooney was out until September!
his first game back was the champs league group stage game against fenerbache.

Would Rooney have been fit though? I can't remember how long he was out for after the injury he picked up in the Portugal game
England would have won 2004 if we would'nt have been robbed of victory against portugal. Man for man, we are too good for holland, with or without rooney. We would have beaten greece with rooney and owen, especially with two of the best passers in the modern game, Gerrard and Beckham feeding them. Niklos dabizas vs michael owen, Seitaridis vs rooney?? No chance. Even if they beat portugal.
Sven shouldn't go, yet. He is tactically poor, however, leave mclaren in charge of that. What about greece? on the back of triumphing at euro 2004 they come home and lose there next match 2-0 at home to andorra.
Also, no way should allardyce be the next england manager, yes he has worked wonders with bolton, but that is his game, not managing england. If we do get a new manager, it shouldn't be mclaren, we would need a totally new setup. Curbishley? No way. The next england manager should be one of: Stuart pearce, who really nows his tactics, how to inspire a team, how to win and most importantly, He's as ugly as sin, so he won't go sleeping with FA secretarys. Or, harry redknapp, one of the most underrated managers in the game.

Of course, we're not a team in the kind of shape ready to challenge for international honours just yet. We haven't been to the semi-finals of a competition for almost ten years now. But the potential is certainly there.
Under Eriksson's 4 years reign, how many different players have we seen make the England squad?
Admittedly, you've got to question the value people like Micael Ricketts and Owen Hargreaves have added to the squad (if any), but we've got a selection of the best centre-backs in Europe, some oustanding midfielders with versitility and strikers who can certainly score goals.
And now David James looks finished with, our goalkeeping worries are no longer of any great concern.
Even if Sam Alladyce was to walk in now, I doubt we'd be capable of winning in 2006. 2008's a strong possibility though, so long as we get a new manager in charge. Someone with ambition and brave, attacking ideas. A man who can motivate and get the very best out of each and every player. A man who knows what he's looking for, and in reverse, would know how to play a selection as a winning team.
That man, is most certainly NOT Sven-Goran Eriksson. Beckham and Owen have spoken out to try and calm this whole situation so things don't go completely out of hand with two games to go. After all, we do have a very young squad right now.
But you can't play to win every game one-nil. As one of top ten international sides, we can't be seen as a team that sets out to defend, as we do.

I wish some of you guys would realise England are not good enough to win the World Cup :-).
I watched the Brazil - Chile game on Sunday and well, Enlgand struggled to beat Northern Ireland and Brazil walloped Chile 5-0 without Ronaldinho in the team and without Ronaldo even looking like scoring for the one half he played.

It ain't over yet mate, the group is still in our hands.
Just got to get rid of the Sven first.
