Burst onto the international scene with real intent, and seemed to go downhill slowly ever since.

Euro - 2004 - at his absolute best (until injury)
World - 2006 - never really fully fit
Euro - 2008 - didn't qualify
World - 2010 - shambles (didn't score)
Euro - 2012 - Suspended for 2 games
World - 2014 - goal against Uruguay only highlight
Euro 2016 - shambles again (didn't score)

If you compared that to Gary Lineker's international tournaments there is no comparison.

It happens so often. You can't have a one man team though. Even at his best he didn't have the players around him to make a difference.

That's going to result in a profit warning by companies that make Shrek merchandise.

I think the pattern is more that Player X has a good game, the press/fans decide that England will now be the new Brazil/Germany and then when reality inevitably crashes the party (i.e. we pay a tournament knockout game and lose) everyone is confused.

The players can't live up to the hype because the hype is off the charts.

This. Qualification is easy, that we failed to qualify for 2008 really shows how f**king s**t England were - but the manager took the blame, everyone else got a pass, and it was carry on as usual.

Usually world class players blaze into the world stage and become a bit ordinary (as after one tournament everyone knows about them).

Rooney is alright, but he's never had the kind of drive and zeal for his national side that Beckham had (who'd be here, there and everywhere on the pitch if we were losing or drawing).

But he was far from being to blame for a poor showing at the last few tournaments. He's probably been one of the providers of a few moments of lightness in that dark tunnel.

Fancies him. This is a classic case of protesting too much. Michaela wishes she was a gran so she can f*ck that ginger potato.

For the record I don't think there is any excuse for drink driving, but when you're as rich as this man it really winds me up. Get a taxi FFS !!!

That's what normal people should do. When you're that rich get a full time driver!

He probably will now.

He could have a chauffeur with him all the time, 24 hours a day !!

Which would cost him all of about one third of a week's wages, per year.

Michaela 24 Aug 17 is either psycic or has a crystal ball? Spooky or what? Gazzalike he has made a solid start with the drinking. Never anything more than a very good footballer found wanting on the International stage.

Unless he was totally blootered and with fancy lawyers will probably get community service and/or a fine, and banned from driving. On his income zero deterrent effect.

Arsehole.
