RAfa, i didnt say andy carrol is more technically gifted than rooney, he has better control imo than rooney, especially in an england shirt, in fact i said he is better on the ball(carrol).
You said yourself 25 june ie yesterday that rooney isnt good enough i will quote the thread if you want!
As a centre forward he is far more useful for england than rooney. Rooneys first touch has been appalling htis tournament. No way can you be up there as one of hte most technically gifted players of the world if you cannot control the ball well. Rooney is flattered at manure he is in a team that is dominating opponents so he gets more space and time than other premiership players, I think he sucks technically.
The reason why he is pretty much past his best at 26 is his game is limited: and the big tournament failures just goes to show that his game is (was) based on pace and power and little else. His control has always let him down. At least we know AC is a bit of a donkey . The biggest fabrication ever by the british media is to say rooney is comparable to messi y. In the next few years i expect to see rooney getting a stack of red cards as he realises he is past it and never was really as good as the media said he was.
