Indeed! Perhaps in having watched so much of Rooney given that ManU gets so much air time in USA I have come to appreciate him better. As a pure striker he has few equals. That said, I doubt we will ever have strikers like Gerd Muller or Enrique Borja ever again. I know there are others like Kocsis. Pele was not really a pure striker, great as he was.
except his hair implants got in the way, he was scared to header the ball in case they
got pulled out by the traction, at ten thousand pounds per hair, you can understand his
reticence, how else can we explain it?

Actually i walked out of the cinema in disgust when i went to see Braveheart and to this
dayt i have not seen the film in its entirety making your assertion, quite ludicrous. Will
you please refrain from telling me what i know and what i do not know, i am perfectly
aware of the historical inaccuracies, after all, the actual place where Wallace ...[text shortened]... to name but a
few. Dont you send your precious Royals up here to be educated at St Andrews?
As for the Braveheart point; I am pretty sure it was you who presented the film as being informative regarding Scotland's standing in the world, but I see you have now managed to cite two of the long list of exceptional individual's who have enabled Scotland to punch above it's weight in the world of commerce and industry.
These are the real fruits of the Scottish soil, people who get on with the future, instead of burying their heads in an illusionary past and constantly presenting ad hominim's which encompass to an entire nation.

Gibson is a slaphead, in fact, i dont think I've ever seen any of his films to be honest, I
like artistic films, not tabloid Hollywood junk. An illusionary past???, oh believe me my
English friend, there was nothing illusionary about it when Bruce stepped out on his
horse and cleaved Henry de Bohun from skull to breast bone with naught but a battle
axe! There is nothing illusionary about or Gaelic traditions, its not my fault you are
living in a cultural vacuum and think that everyone else is like minded. Indeed in two
days time we shall commemorate the Battle of Bannockburn, when we freed ourselves
from the yoke of English slavery! 700 years to the day, June the 24th, 2012.

The truth is Robert de Bruce was of Norman stock and the only reason he fought the English crown was to advance His family's standing in an elitist aristocratic feudal system, He would have kissed the arse of the English if it won Him the plastic and prostituted Scottish crown.
Bannockburn may have been a big battle in your small world, but in the eyes of the the English it was a badly bungled skirmish and ultimately it did not loosen England's hold on Scotland one iota.
Cultural vacuum!! look around you Robbie you are a vassal of English culture. Gaelic culture is as dead as Latin and ancient Greek. It is pet for a few wannabe Gael's like yourself, at best a culture of sheep herders and subsistence fishing community's doomed by it's inability to adapt.
Whether you like it or not Robbie history is on my side of this debate, us effinate, dress wearing Morris dancers kicked your Scottish butts 99 times out of 100 and the fact that your national anthem is about us shows that your freedom was not won at bannock burn.
When we, oops, I mean when you get your actual independence we will probably choose 'Jerusalem' for the English anthem, that is a song about us Robbie not our wee angry neighbour.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieNot the first nor last who'll miss a sitter! More embarrassing if he had missed the goal he did score. I think the man tries as hard as he can which is not the same that can be said of a host of other players. Andy Carrol perhaps is a better pure striker, but tends to be inconsistent. Huge asset against smaller countries (stature wise) such as against Spain although Pique is just as tall, but the defender he used to be.
are you joking? hes a mediocrity and should have scored a sitter against Ukraine

Originally posted by scacchipazzoAgain I disagree. As a striker, I think Rooney's good rather than great, but as a centre forward and engine of attack if he's firing on all cylinders he's well worthy of a place. And why would you think we're unlikely to see equals of Muller or Borja (Borja? you sure?)?! Have you seen Messi play? Honestly mate, you should just give up making these predictions.

Originally posted by avalanchethecatMessi fails to impress me as much as he does he world. He's talented to be sure, but he functions as a center forward, not a striker. He just happens to be a high scoring center forward. I don't think I've seen Messi do actual strikes. He finesses his play too much to be a pure striker. I do not take away his supreme talent. I have never seen Messi make a Muller like or Borja like strike. As for Rooney he functions well in either role.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieOn this one I change sides totally. I will dig out my Forza Azzurri shirt, Italian flag and start singing Va Pensiero as soon as I catch a glimpse of the red-white-green on the screen. Either that or get bopped on the head by Italian wife.
