Rooney is a very good player but he can't do what Messi, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho of old can do. People keep on bringing up Messi being better than Rooney, All I said was over last season Rooney was better than Messi, over the last 3 seasons or so Messi has quite rightly been regarded as the best player on the plannet, but last season and last season only Rooney was better. Messi scored plenty of goals last season but they were in the Spanish league mostly whereas as Rooney scored most of his in a stronger more competetive league. Apart from the game against Arsenal in the Nou Camp where he scored about four Messi has never played well once against an English team, he has never been able to hack it and has been dragged off many times, this shows that he has'nt been able to deal with the intensity of playing against English teams and the way we defend. Dont get me wrong if Messi played in the english Premier league he would score loads of goals but no way would he score the three's and Fours he scores every week in the Spanish League, or look as spectacular. Rooney plays the game the way we would play it if we played and thats with his heart,guts, determination and a strong desire to be the best in the world add that with his talent you can see why he does so well in the best and hardest league in the world.

ahem Premiere league stronger than La Liga? Arsenal not only beaten by Barcelona but taught a footballing lesson and who put us out and won the Europa League, most of the European National Champions (Spain) players are still in La Liga, so I think to be fair some people over inflate the Prem against other leagues as regards quality of Football etc, I would also say Serie A is catching up fast as well, watched some great games on ESPN last season!
I support Liverpool Football Club above any player or manager and have done for 51 seasons now!

You look at the Champions league and how many teams from the premier have qualified for the semi's and final over the last few years, Real Madrid the second best team in La Liga have never got past the quarters for nearly ten years, sorry the premier is the best and most popular league in the world not to mention the most competative and hardest to win

rooney is no where near being a the top world player.Messi,drogba,torres,malito,villa and emile heskey are all better than him(ok myabe not heskey lol)and lets not for get e'to just won the CL for the 2nd time in 2 years with 2 different clubs.and thats just strikers.funny how when the worlds best footballer is talked about its only ever strikers or all out attacking players that get mentioned.look at gerrard for example he has a much better all round game than Rooney,so does lampard.they say that strikers are judged on goals,if thats the case the best striker for england is crouch,but i dont hear anyone saying he's the best player in the world.
with midfielders u have snieder,ronaldo and many other players who are all better than Rooney,he is a good player but no where near the best player in the world. at last someone with common sense

If you read what I said I said Messi has been the best player on the plannet for the past three seasons or so but last season Rooney was better for last season only. I Have'nt said he's better than Messi overall because Rooney will have to reproduce that season again for the next two or three seasons continualy, but last season Rooney until he got injured was the best player in the world better than Messi.
