[allnighter]

Wouldn't it be great to see the in-form Rooney run at and tear apart the Brazillian defence and score the winner?

I think we have a great chance when we have players like Rooney, Lampard, Terry, Gerrard, all have the winning mentally and fear no one. Unlike a few years back when we rely on some player who is all too often busy fixing his hair, run like a girl and don't even get to the by-line to put his trademark crosses in anymore

You watch, Rooney inspired England will get to the final (where we'll probably lose to Brazil) the conditions suit England a lot better in Germany than they did in Japan
