Passion, class, determination...no doubt whatsoever Rooney outpunches the swede in all those areas. As for shooting, perhaps I was letting myself get a little carried away. I have seen MANY games in which Ibra looked uninterested, spent more time moaning the playing and suggested the most important thing in the world to Ibra, is Ibra, not his team, nor the game. Never have I seen that of Rooney...he is about Winning, Playing, Fighting...and the only time I have heard about him actually playing up to this thug reputation was when that sunderland twat Gray insulted Roonery's lady and her mate, so he smashed him. Which to me, wasnt thuggery, it was an honourable response.
He is the British Pele. And if he ever took the streets, cutlass in hand, more likely a baseball bat, and with a fierce battle cry, roamed england, collecting a lynch mob, to storm downing street and reclaim the country as our own, out of the hands of the suit and tie snakepeople, with Rooney to be proclaimed King, or even Emporer, i would support him with all my heart and soul...he is one of a very small bunch of men who make me proud to be british...
