Oh my bloody goodness! ](*,)

You're just verifying everything we're talking about suburbanknight! Not one of the other press that you posted just then even mentioned Pele! That's what the English did! And if needs be I'll gladly dig out the reports to substantiate the argument that it was the English press who first staked the claim.

We're not debating the fact that Rooney is a superstar! Of course he is! We're debating the arrogant stance of the English press. All you're doing is defending the press by trying to compare Rooney to Pele as best you can, thus trying to validate that they had a point!? But the point still stands! Erikson is the one who first made an off-comment remark on Rooney's potential (yes we know he was talking about his potential) and it was the press took it as doctrine. I will re-iterate my original statement, who is at fault here..The English Press! And that's what OVP was vindicating when he started the thread :-k :roll:

Well I personally do not even really take stuff that comes from Pele's mouth very highly.

Sven is right, Rooney has shown maturity beyond his years and has handled himself well.

In saying people should not turn a blind eye to the tournament to the performances of Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibramohvich, Antonio Cassano (probably Italy's best player at Euro).

Agreed.

Although Ibrahimovic has played in a major tournament before. But the others have made a fine impression in their first outing. All of them will be stars.

Oh dear!! England out in their usual pathetic, "Whoops, what happened!??" fashion!! :?

You know, someone should teach them to take a damned PENLATY!!..Simple as that. They KNOW what's gonna happen - why even bother to practice onfield moves??...Just practice penalties....and long-range freekicks, so Beckham can get them out of trouble in the 93rd minute whenever required (OFTEN!) and they'd be FAR better prepared!!

Yes, Rooney's presence was that of Pele's, wasn't it??...Leading his nation allll the way to...er...the quarterfinals of a tournament featuring nations only from ONE continent...whilst Pele at 17 lifted the World Cup - and all but dragged his team-mates kicking & screaming to success with him in the process!

Well done Wayne-O - youre a FINE player, and u had a top tournament!....but if you believe for even a milisecond that you're the best, most influential 18year old since 1958 - then you're even thicker than you look, u poor old lug-headed bugger!! :lol:

The football success-starved English masses are gobbling it up by the MOUTHFUL tho, ain't they?...as Suburban Knight illustrates nicely above - Hey, go nuts & have fun guys - But just be sure & remember to BREATHE under all that BS, and undeserved self-congratulatory wank, won't you mate?!! :lol: ;-)

And when you all get back down to planet earth, maybe you will see just HOW funny it is to the rest of us, that Wayne Rooney is being touted as the most influential 18year old in a major tournament since Pele in 19 fifty freaking eight!!!!

Doooo me a lemon Guv'nor!! :lol: That's either a joke - or an insult...depending on your P.O.V!! :lol:
