Not > even close. Sometimes I think Ronaldo made him a great player. Agreed that Rooney was not one of the 20 best forwards in the WC. I agree even more that Ronaldo made him a great player. So much so that in the previous season without Ronaldo he scored more goals than he did in the prior two seasons combined. Of course he was 4 short of the prior two seasons combined total when you consider all tournaments. I think it must be because Ronaldo left.

How many injured players did England select? Was it to have an excuse when they went out? -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/
