Wayne Rooney was a millstone around the neck of England in the second half.
I pity him really. He has such a bad record for the national team.
I would not say so. Ok he did not have the best of nights but it's not just about scoring goals. His work rate of the ball is tireless and his lay offs are invaluable. It was Rooney who set up England's equaliser.
I would not be too concerned as I still think England will qualify from their group.
Besides Rooney missing the best chance, Rodger's is to blame for the loss. He played both Henderson and Gerrard defensive mid. He should have kept Gerrard back and then Henderson more forward and Henderson should have been one on one with Pirlo. Also, the triangle up top didn't help at all. He just doesn't know how to play his guys. It was the same thing when he coached Liverpool.
