    Doesn't look like it and I hope he stays.

    The FA need to back him when they decide in 2 weeks.

      He must have known the ball crossed the line & yet carried on playing. Not very sportsmanlike at the least.
      He played to the whistle.

        There just isn't that national passion that other countries have. In Canada we are not too worried when our local team doesn't do too well, but it is an absolute must that the national team do well. It seems the opposite in England is true.

        So where was this Rooney chap BTW? MIA AFAICT

              Can you honestly say that over the 4 games that any of the players played with passion.

              If anyone David James did, probably the best player we had over the the 3 games he played.

              No lung busting runs from midfield apart from the first 3 mins against USA
              No pressing, thundering tackles, no shouting.

                The team from the "Best League in the World" played remarkably like the team from the "Worst League in the World".

                  He was referring to the nation as a whole, at least that's how I took it?

                    How very dare he!!!!
                    Does he have no conception of the numbers of plastic flags that have been sold in the last 6 weeks or so?
                    If that is not passionate then I don't know what is...............although curiously, I have not noticed quite so many today.
