Have that Germany!
You should change your name to Nostradamus.
The last world cup he was overweight imo which I agree was poor. Before that, he had a broken toe and was risked. Thats not his fault.
In terms of wages, thats up t United if they want to pay him that. There are plenty of players at chelsea, city that earn close or as much that havnt achieved half of what he's done.
He was rightly picked because he has a great record for club and country.
I don't think he should be left off the Roster but managers are scared to have him sit out. His world cup record is appauling. Quite funny that the only goal he will ever score in the competition was a tap in and won't mean anything.
It shouldn't matter what you've done years before in terms of being picked. It should be based upon current form. Rooney and united had an awful year. Laughable even. There are plenty of promising English players that should have been picked before him. But Roy was scared of rocking the boat and doing something different, so he did the same as previous managers and played it safe and conservative. You will never ever win a World Cup playing it safe and conservative.
Yet another fantastic match at this World Cup. We've been spoiled, so far. Could go down as one of the greatest tournaments ever!
