Danny 0 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 It's hard to say any defender can light up a world cup. Good defending is admirable but not what people look for when it comes to the highlights. He's been the best 'player' for sure, but he's not really lit the tournament up because it's not his job to do that sort of thing. That's left to the Kakas, Riquelmes, Ronaldos etc. And the majority of them let themselves down. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colshy18 0 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 yes cannavaro is a great defender here but i think danny has a fair point. it`s good to watch great defending but it doesn`t really involve `lighting up games` does it? i do like a good defender but flair and such like must sureley come from supposed `flair` players like ronaldinho 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudbertz 0 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Rooney - I Dont Rate Him At All You're joking right? Im no fan of Man Utd or him, but he is a special player. Can see where you're coming from from a WC point of view because he didnt really do much, but any team would be an improvement with Rooney in it on his game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colshy18 0 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Rooney - I Dont Rate Him At All why??? it`ll have to be a very good reason. i HATE man.utd but even i can see rooney is total class! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 850 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Rooney underrated?? Absolutely not, he is total world class. Just as maradona failed in 82 he came back in 86 and destroyed all! Maybe Rooney can do the same in 2010, he will only be 24! A hat trick on his debut in the CL was awesome and his 2 goals v boro in the cup and that strike v Newcastle are 3 strikes from the top shelf!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 0 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I must go for Beckham... If he was born ugly and married a girl next door and had a bad PR dept I think he would have been seen as a good player not a great player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
