I watched all the England games and didn't really see Rooney do any more than the most players except for scoring the goals.
He COULD become of of Europe's greatest players, but it's too soon to go there yet. They're putting a lot of pressure on his VERY young shoulders, saviour of England and all.... If i were Ericsson, i kept things as quiet as possible around him. I recall a similar hype around Paul Gascoigne, and he ended up like Bozo the Clown.
