I also think there is an issue of respect here. For the last 10 years Wayne has been entertaining England fans – he’s become our greatest goalscorer – and it was not that long ago there were questions about where the next Rooney was coming from. Well the real one is still here with plenty to offer. When talking about world class players at our disposal, he has been one of the shining lights for years. Now there are those who’d leave him out. Where is the loyalty to one of the greatest players, not just of our generation, but in English history? Why do so many people want to finish him? You wouldn’t get this abroad where the greatest servants are adored and urged to keep going as long as possible.

Is he seriously suggesting Rooney should go based on loyalty and sentiment? Because it sure as hell isn't based on current form or previous tournament form?
And shame on Aragones for dropping Raul for the 2008 Euros when he was then Spain's leading scorer. That one really backfired.
