England were ass
nuts
>>156681739>>156681870I am straight so I avoid this semen slurping sport at all costs, but surely you can't compare a poacher/finisher with playmaking forwards who play deeper?
We have more games now, and worst teams in the group stage. The records of old are going to be smashed, but it doesnt matter at all.
>>156681739>>156681870smaller pool back then, less stat padding on small time shitters like this WC. it's no wonder a bunch of goal records are being broken
who would have thought that adding 200 literal who nations would give flat track bullies a chance to score more goals
>>156681739Still a horrible performance of Rooney which always was an overrrated retard who only the english saw as some legendary striker, theres a reason why he never make it to Madrid or Barcelona, along with the rest of overrrated shitters of England
>>156682465he was a good PL player, had a good work rate and was physical as well as being able to create goals from nothing. the physicality and high work rate are 2 attributes that are valued more in the prem than other european leagues where there's more emphasis on technical ability
regression era stats are irrelevantvery funny that grandpa pessi all of a sudden scores 8 now, then they rigged the last WC with benulties while he shat the bed 3 world cups in a row before thatlaughable stats anywayHaaland is a clinical striker now but when compared to Batistuta, RVN, Vieri, Adriano, Trezeguet he is just a fucking shitternothing means anything in this era and you can throw around all the fucking stats you want but it's fucking meaningless
>>156681870henry was always pure shit
>>156681739wayne rooney only played 11 world cup matches?
Haaland is a literal tap in merchant. He does absolutely nothing all game except stand near the box and wait for somebody to pass to him. Rooney and Henry would actually fucking play and create opportunities, not just wait for them.
>>156682391speak english, leaf.
>>156682465English players, even more so at that time, don't give a shit about playing for RM or Barca
>>156681739Seems like it
Rooney was injured going into all 3 world cups he appeared at. Anyone that is familiar with his career will know he wasnt naturally fit. He spent his spare time with casinos, eating kebabs, drinking, and banging prostitutes. Ever since he was a teenager, he'd only regain match fitness with a run of half a dozen games.
henry was on a stacked team and should have scored more goals. no excuse. rooney peaked after the first euros.
