by the way: the way he's looking isn't important on the field, or do you think becks would be worse if he didn't like to dress like a model (or wear his wifes underwear??? )?

I thought England would have learnt a lesson after Gascoigne, don't hype up a player who hasn't really done anything on a consistent basis, (one good tournament doesn't make a great player- LFC fans should know that after world cup 2002)

i agree. people are overhyping him. it's only recently that rooney has been a regular in the everton side. i think he has scored something like 10 goals which is hardly prolific.
everyone knows that the guy has got tremendous ability, as he has shown for england in the past. however certain people are expecting him to take the championships by storm just like owen did in france 98. this just isn't going to happen.
with the exception of turkey maybe, who has rooney played against at international level in a competitive match? he's gonna be playing against the best defenders in europe. it's a learning experience for him but i don't think the kid fears anyone.
