Could be due to Croatia playing with 10 men?
But your right, Gerrard and Lumpard cant play together. Capello has to pick one.

erm... he setup all of theos goals... im not a big rooney fan, think hes a tosser, but theres no denying the boys ability. come on, cut him some slack...
edit: care to place a bet that it wont take four years... friendly wager and all that?
The English press wanted him out before the game so the fact he scored and setup 2 goals against a 10 man team doesn't mean much to me.erm... he setup all of theos goals... im not a big rooney fan, think hes a tosser, but theres no denying the boys ability. come on, cut him some slack...

His a pathetic striker who has now only scored 3 competitive goals in 4 years.
One good game doesn't make a good player, his going to be losing his spot in the Manchester starting line-up and I think sooner or later will be losing his spot in the English team ie. Crouch.
I say before the next world cup, Rooney wont have another good competitive game in the English colours.
Quoted for authenticity
Me and genius have been against rooney as a striker from the start, I see now other people are also seeing the light.
The biggest joke is him losing his spot as a first 11 in manchester, after all the manchester supporters were saying his a good striker and blaming ronaldo for his poor form.There is no ronaldo to blame in the england squad, so no excuse for his poor form over the last 4 years.

i dont see how people can blame ronaldo for his "bad" form - but he was the reason ronaldo got all the space he did. same with drogba. and id rather have drogba in my team than a hundred "better strikers" who will score more goals and not open up the game like he does.
I watched the game last night.
Good for Walcot - i still think he is the next big thing.
Good for Rooney - i still think he is a hopeless striker. He should play in the midfield or something.
Highlight of the game for me was, when Rooney scored and the commentator said he PASSED the ball in the net
I almost fell off my chair with laughter. Cos he got it SPOT on!!
United fan bois blame Ronaldo for Rooney's bad season last year. Yet he has the same bad form when he plays for England, so how can they blame Ronaldo.
I will also go as far as saying that Rooney wont have a good game for England in a long time.

Nobody was blaming Ronaldo for his 'bad form'. Rooney had a 'bad' season in terms of goals, but take away his contributions and United would not have wont he Double. It's as simple as that.
So when was Rooney's good season?
The year before that he played more games but only scored 14 goals and before that it was 16 (even more games).This is not counting his form with england, where in those 2 years he had scored about 1 competitive goal for england.
You missing the point as to why rooney is on the pitch, his not a midfielder his a "striker" this is why he will be losing his position in the manchester squad as a starting 11.

Exactly. A Strikers job is to score goals. United okes like to sugercoat Rooneys performance and say, he isnt there just to score goals.
If a striker cant put it at the back of the net, then that striker isnt any good.

That seems to be the hardest game out of the way for England now. Nothing too tricky until the Ukraine away game. Could be maximum points up to game 7 
Maybe we'll qualify this time
Germany drawing 3-3 away to Finland...Didn't see that one coming.

When last did Heskey score? That doesn't make him a bad striker.
Heskey was brought back into the squad for a second chance. He isnt a regular. Rather look when last he played for England regularly - compared to Rooney.
Geez, some okes are blinded by Rooney's performance and are trying to defend him when it is clear that he is not a good striker.

Forget it man. Some children were taught that strikers score goals and that is all they do. Like in netball.
