One Wolf on the shirt,
Challenge Cup still gleaming,
35 years of hurt never stopped me dreaming.

Or possibly : "Theyre coming home, theyre coming home............Englands coming home"

Id rather see the current Blackpool squad in South Africa, at least theyd show heart and commitment.

Thats what i love about Rugby League, irrelevent of the team players play for, they wear their heart on their sleeve and put their all in every game, taking nothing for granted. Not like that bunch of multmillionaire pr*cks over there.

Great result last night. Forza Slovenia on Wednesday then the part time football fans can put their car flags away for another four years.

And as for booing your team, Rooney should have done what Kingy did after the London game, give the finger to all the Numties that think it's the done think to boo your team off.

I think that the fans had a right to boo them off. They have paid thousands of pounds to go out there, that Rooney probably earns in 1 hour...

Plus Rooney's performance was nothing short of a disgrace he looked like a player who hadn't played for about 6 months...

He thinks he's undropable he needs to apologise for his outburst for P.R. reasons and roll his sleaves up instead of bad mouthing the fans...

don t just single out rooney,all those players need to take a long hard look at themselves....
Ya know brazil didnt take ronaldinio to the world cup because he is past it!!!!!
yet we take carragher ,heskey,crouch,need i go on....

spot on...

Drop Rooney, he's a disgrace what he did, plus he played poor.

Id say give someone else a chance but thats a risk i think Capello isn't going to take. If were going to win, we need Rooney, and thats the truth

Rooneys not 100% fit
Heskeys is Crap
Whats the point in playing Gerrard on the left
Carragher is too slow

I hate both Rooney and England but he's spot on with what he said.

Anyone who boos their own team is a bad bad bellend and yes, I'm well aware plenty of Warringtonians have fallen into that category in the not too distant past.

"All" of those players?

I thought David James had a good game.

Look on the bright side. Maybe a few folks will finally realise what an over-hyped, over-priced, ego-indulging, hypocritical bore-fest wendyball really is, and leave it alone forever.

I blame the manager,.

get stuart pearce to do the team talk before the game he will get them going! Fans shouldnt really boo but after paying thousands of pounds to get there to see that rubbish thats what is good about rugby you are entertained 90% percent of the time

absolutely spot on

I feel sorry for the world game.....especially after settling down to a state of origin game this week (even if it was one sided)

as talk sport hyped it up before it kicked off "the world cup - 32 of the greatest football teams on earth"

yep course they are ......after Argentina and the perenial fluke goal getters brazil I am struggling to see a decent team that would trouble Chelsea...

when its all over all they will remember are them trumpets...

Some of these sports people need to get over themselves complaining about booing. If a comedian tries to do a bit of stand-up and he's rubbish he will get heckled....if a politician goes to some public hustings and starts talking rubbish, they will get heckled. It just happens, it's not about being fickle, its people expressing their opinions.

These footballers are all multimillionaires who live celebrity lifestyles and some of the supporters are not that well off and are spending a considerable amount of their disposable income on watching their team especially those who've flown out to Cape Town and paid World Cup prices for tickets....I bet if these footballers put the same percentage of their income into some hedge fund which then started performing poorly they would be cursing blue murder about it if they saw their hedge fund manager taking home his hefty bonus regardless of performance.

I don't buy this, "they've paid thousands to go" argument though. No one forced them to did they?

I've spent a lot of money following my football club abroad and witnessed defeat (actual defeat, not a draw that didn't put them out anyway which is what those Ingerland beauts saw last night) but I haven't booed my team off the park because of it.

I accept players don't deserve to be applauded off if they perform badly but actually booing the very players you're allegedly there to support is absurd.

i`d love to see these so called footballers to fall flat on there over inflated heads...and as for any who boo`s this pathetic rabble gets my vote..theres nothing more i`d like to see than my country doing well but footballers,politicians and the do gooder brigade(all must have something in common) are the laughing stock in this once great country of ours....i personally wont be watching on wednesday...

I'll tell you one thing, i'd be booing them off if I payed all that money and had made lots of sacrifices to watch that pile of garbage.

I'm a Manchester United fan (have to use full name as people whinge if I shortened it in any way). Rooney in many peoples eyes is undroppable, but I really do wonder what England would be like with him starting from the bench, if just the one last group game. Bit too late now as 3? other strikers are all based around helping Rooney.

End of day, all the focus is on Wayne Rooney and if England could manage to learn how to win games without him it may strengthen the team. And I dont mean learn how to play ON if he's injured as that's headless chicken mode.

Are England going to become the old Warrington? When Rooney plays well, England play well/ When Rooney is out of form...and unfit...

That's spot on. Spending a few grand going to South Africa doesn't give you more right to a better performance than if the tournament was in France and you only spend a few hundred getting there. The money is irrelevant, no one forced you to go. These trips should be seen as a holiday with a few football/rugby games thrown in as a sideline. Too many people believe the hype when it comes to some of the England players lads when in reality they aren't good enough. I can see the frustration of the fans but I think that England put the effort in on Friday night they just weren't good or clever enough to get the win and shouldn't be booed because of this.

they deserved to get booed off. it was an absolute disgrace except james had nothing to do. cappello should get booed just for playing gerrard on the left when do managers learn he can tplay on the left atleast against usa we had players playing well not just a whole team playing awful and cant even beat algeria.

Heard all this before about Beckham.

Everyone used to say that when England realised that Beckham was rubbish and played a right winger with pace and flair like Lennon or Wright-Phillips we were going to be a more dangerous team etc. Steve McLaren was what we had all been crying out for, a manager strong enough to drop Beckham. We were crap without him and he ended up bringing Beckham back.

I think we also went through a spell of identifiying the problem as being Lampard being in the team. Now the problems are either Rooney, or Gerrard being on the left. IMO the real issue is that overall England are not a top quality side, we are a unit of decent hard working players, like Switzerland or Sweden or Denmark, a coach like Eriksson was good with us as he recognised this and played to our strengths and made us hard to beat.
