Shut up Alex and buy some St George flags

Rooney was injured 82 minutes into the match with Chelsea when they were 3-0 down. The match was irrecoverable as was the league - did Ferguson take England’s most valuable player off to avoid risking injury? – oh no! Now Rooney plays for England and Eriksson will want him 100% fit for the final. He obviously will not take unnecessary risks along the way and may want to get him on the pitch before the quarters. That decision is now Sven’s and Alex needs to shut up and swallow the no doubt unpalatable truth that the World Cup is the greatest football show on earth and not the Premiership runners up competition.
