The embolden should have played. He's not a great technician but he has fantastic vision in his
arsenal, so is his long ball which often cut opposition open unlike Rooney predictable long ball to the wing.
Anyway sha, Rooney was poor yesterday. In fact, he was one of the worst players on the pitch..

He didn't do well but he started well and got worse with time, particularly second half. After a few misplaced passes, his confidence ran out. There is the problem of attempting to dribble but he lost that ball in three consecutive attempts, and that completely was shattering. May be he should have just done the simple pass or lob the ball into the box, because for years he has not been playing that way - dribbling in final third. It worked for him against Wales but he failed woefully at those attempts last night.

But for poor players. Look at Cahil, Kane, Hart.

England

Hart 4 - Guilty of another howler for Sigthorsson's goal. Perhaps needs some time out.
Walker 6 - Left Sigurdsson for the equaliser but at least showed intent going forward
Cahill 4 - Also culpable for Iceland's second goal. Wasteful when given time on ball
Smalling 4 - Constantly dragged out of position and looked uncomfortable in possession.
Rose 6 - One of England's better performers – both defensively and going forward.
Alli 6 - Inexperienced showed at times but at least tried to make things happen.
Dier 5 - Often left on his own in the centre of midfield and looked to be injured. Subbed.
Rooney 6 - Scored his sixth Euros goal from the spot and did what he could to get England going
Sturridge 5 - Too many touches with no product. Out of position on the right. Booked.
Kane 4 - A shadow of the player who won the Golden Boot. First touch has gone completely.
Sterling 5 - Won the early penalty but it's clear that his confidence is shot. Subbed
Wilshere 5 - Still looked short of fitness and sharpness after being asked to save England
Vardy 5 - Gave England more movement up front but service lacking.
Rashford ( for Rooney, 86)

igbsam:
Rooney is full of shyt. Elampiro, if you attempt to support this guy here ever again, na thunder go whooze u slap Rooney is past his prime and ought to retire from national and club football (he can as well go to dubai to collect salary). The guy is a national disaster.

Wetin dey worry you. But for Rooney we lost that FA cup final. Rooney wasn't the worst player for England yesterday despite having a bad day in about two months.

Why didn't the rest players lift the day? Dele Alli, Kane and Sturridge that have been hailed as the Messi's of EPL, what did they do?

Hodgson fell for the old trick of counting on players who are shining at the moment. Barkely, Henderson, Clyne would have done a better job than those players who were brought in due to one season wonder. It is also unfortunate that such players as Chamberlain, Welbeck who offer pace were injured and the other two barely looked fit, that is Wilshere and Sturridge.

GBR1:
Shame suppose dey catch you. Elampiro-the ultimate Rooney defender. Wetin you won talk about hin performance today?

Is Rooney the first player to have a bad game? He has done well in midfield for two months until yesterday. Even natural midfielders do have bad days. Sometimes you need other players to lift the day.

However, England lost it to the poor Joe Hart and Cahil who left his defensive sense at home.

Liverpool used to have these funny names: Riise, Carragher, Hyypia, Riera, Benayoun, Arbeloa, Kuyt, Skrtel, N'gog,

The always wondered how these players with funny names were recruited into one club. I always enjoy the commentary when the names are mentioned.

The kind of names we bring to the club these days:
Schweinsteiger, Snederline, Rojo, Januzaj, Mkhitaryan.

Gone are the days we had such easy names as Rio, Ronaldo, Rooney, Brown, Garry, Scholes, Tevez, Vidic, Evra, etc.

.

Why?

Pope Francis, I don't support this at all.

#BREAKING Dortmund have sent an official to Manchester to complete the transfer of Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

^^^
I saw that now.

Manchester United buying Pogba back for a world record fee after he unceremoniously left the club on free transfer 4 years ago, will go into records as the craziest football news ever.

Why did we not add all these money to buy Bonucci?
How many CB are we going to buy?

Manchester United have had a £28m bid for Roma defender Kostas Manolas rejected according to journalist Emanuele Giulianelli.

Roma are now set to extend his contract by one year, until 2020 and Manolas can expect his salary to rise.

A bid of around €35/£28m was submitted by the Red Devils, according to Corierre dello Sport, which was swiftly rejected by the club’s hierarchy.

Despite adding Eric Bailly to the squad, Jose Mourinho is still interested in bringing in defensive reinforcements to Old Trafford.

Elampiro u for mention me for page 3000

Sorry about that. I thought of actually calling you, Chrisley024, Nihilist, Ramdeuter, AdeLaNa1, dadehmola, SailorXY, Afrodoc2 and BinghiNya. Again I felt some would say 'why you carry 3000 for head' . Then I changed my mind.

I can still mention you there though.

And some people are very careful, after marking register, they turned the rest page into argument.

Page 3000 here we come.


Lol.

Manchester United have made an improved bid of £28m for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Jose Mourinho is desperate to land Mkhitaryan and has upped the ante in the battle for his services.

United had an offer of around £18m rejected by the German club following the end of the Premier League season.

But executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has spoken to Mourinho about the attacking midfielder and decided to return with a second bid.

Sources close to the on-going negotiations reckon United are confident of making him their second major signing of the summer.

BarcaBlood:
D whole spanish team played rubbish today, and dey crowned it wit allowing ramos 2 take their pk, who does dat

Ramos went for the PK.

DeGea was woeful today. First he was dispossessed when he received a back pass. Second, in my opinion, he could have done something about the equalizing goal. Third which is the worst, he left a wide space in his near post to concede a late goal. He appeared to have single handedly set up a big crash between Spain and Italy.

rosy1992:
Pretty zahra

Pretty you.

Louis van Gaal has been linked with a return to management with AC Milan, according to Gazetta dello Sport.

The 64-year-old, who won the FA Cup last season, had suggested his job at United would be his last in football after spells in charge of Ajax, Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar, Bayern Munich and Holland.

But Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting he is on the shortlist to replace Sinisa Mihajlovic at Milan along with Andre Villas-Boas and Ronald de Boer.

Diademk07:
I hope we no get this Embolo guy!
All he has na strength and decent speed, his agility and acceleration na rubbish. Don't even let me start on his poor technique.

Who?

adeyemi2015:
Kadiri Ikhana is tactically sound than the Portugal Coach!
Did he really expect to win the Match with three Wingers upront?!
The Silly Coach even built the Team on Quaresma?!
Lol!

This is my observation from the very first match. Two many wingers, and they instruct one another. The coach doesn't know how to utilize players.

But that Portuguese left back on jersey number 5 was a delight to watch.

bwuahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! . seem like we have got a new residence clown on this thread.





my God,where do this clowns keep popping out from?

People now come from nowhere, jump into arguments in the middle and even insult those who have the same line of argument they intend to push. Did these people even attend high school?

blueAgent:
Like i said before U are a fool , whose post got ridculed . just bear the shame Zombie.

You are a compound fool. Illiterate and an eternal ignoramus. Instead of you to admit that you didn't know that my line to argument was in support of black players, you are here covering your goof with insults. Dirty Pig!

Nihilist that I argued with knew what my line of argument was, and the other intelligent people who were reading.

blueAgent:
Idiot. when your ingnorance is exposed. you give excuse that one did not understand U .

Didn't you see people laughing at your ignorance. How do I even expect an ignoramus like you to comprehend that I was supporting your line of argument.

Thanks Syncan. The response is okay for the matured mind. Only those with little spiritual maturity still argue.

Syncan:
It's common knowledge that you appreciate another's situation more if you've experienced something about it. This is why the writer of the book of Hebrews was happy to declare thus: "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to have compassion on our weaknesses, but rather one who was tempted in all things, just as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us go forth with confidence toward the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy, and find grace, in a helpful time" Heb.4: 15-16.

So we see that in God's wisdom, He willed that His own son, who will become the High Priest, experiences something about our weakness. Though He overcame all temptation, but he now knows for sure how difficult it is for us. In same vein, since God chose the weak... 1Cor.1:27, it's His will to do this and not make them angels, that the ministers, in following Christ example in overcoming temptation, may as well show compassion to others, when they reach out to them, especially in the sacrament of reconciliation.
Clothed in weakness therefore portrays in my opinion, the experience of the frailties of the human nature in the face of temptations, and the rigors of the daily struggle to be perfect. Instead of making the minister's like angels, God willed that "my grace is enough for you".

Thanks, but it looks like I am not entirely satisfied.

dubylhover:
d main change wasn't Kane,it was Sturridge,cs to b honest vardy didn't do shii in d match...I feel it wud b more productive to pair Sturridge and Kane,did you see how Kane was just dropping deep? an to b honest English players were too poor..

Kane= cannot carve out a chance from nothing. Cannot do it by himself. But will score when the opportunity comes.

Vardy = Like Kane, cannot carve out a chance himself, but can out pace the last marker. And will score when gifted opportunity.

Sturridge= Can create a chance for himself, can beat a defender and can be a world class in few minutes and become useless the next minutes. Injury prone. However, he is my favourite if England were to play one striker. He also has more experience.

dubylhover

I don't see how Barkely can get into that midfield ahead of Rooney. Only Wilshere can if in his element, and because he plays differently. When Rooney bossed the midfield in Wembley FA cup semi final against Everton, where was Barkely? Earlier in the season, when we beat Everton 3-0 in the league, Rooney was in number 10 and scored. Where Barkely dey?

Dadehmola:
Sterling himself would be ashamed & embarassed at this ridiculous excuse you put forward.

Person dey put in performances atypical of division 3 players in the Sudanese league,you are here blaming it on the absence of a fat & disillusioned Rooney in the frontline.

As a matter of fact, Sterling has no business in that team !!

Lol

Yes, he has been poor but I am working based on what I saw in the qualifiers when he was their most creative player playing behind/along the senior players.
