The powerful forward, Man U and England star, Wayne Rooney is in great form and his truely extraordinary performances in the Premier League have brought him well deserved praise and accolades.
He is having a tremendous season in England and if [knock on wood!] he remains injury free, he’s really going to be hungry for goals at the WC 2012 in South Africa and could be one of the great stars of the tournement.
His strengths are that he usually remains calm and confident and not too much can take him off his game.
He is an instinctive striker who knows where the ball goes and is going, and can create situations in midfield from nothing – in short he is an intelligent player –which England has been short of over the last years.
Besides this he works hard –like most English players – and seems always available for the team. He works hard, he runs back to defend and helps where he is needed.
While not hoping for an English World Cup win, I am certainly not against one if we can see some nice football from Wayne Rooney – that would be worth it.
Good luck to him and the English team!
