Okay, I am well aware that this is a United site but who, if not I, can break the unwritten rules? I just have to translate a bit of my excitement over the 4-1 England rollicking of Croatia today. Theo Walcott was absolutely brilliant. He started off the match looking like a puppy that hadn't quite found it's legs but, boy, did he deliver when it counted. His first goal was built from Rio Ferdinand playing far into Croatia's half, feeding it to Rooney, who then feed it into the box. A lucky deflection off of a Croatian defender sent the ball to Walcott's feet and he looked all poise and maturity as he measured his chance and took it. Absolutely beautiful. Rooney was also involved in Walcott's second and third goals (some superb passing today, Wayne) and rightly so as Walcott's performance called to mind Rooney's astonishing feats in Euro 2004. Wayne himself finally silenced the doubters with a fantastic goal of his own today. He looked very comfortable roaming the field and creating chances while Heskey stayed central. I'm hoping this is the role we will see him take more with United as Berbatov is introduced. Rooney is a play maker, to be sure. Fellow Red Devils Ferdinand and Brown where also (insert superlative, I seem to have exhausted them) for England today. A fantastic game from all (that is, except you, John Terry), well done!
