Default England have ruined my investment!

I was hoping that Rooney was going to be a world cup hero, up there with Messi and Kaka as I have just acquired a signed shirt with his signature (and Ferdinand's) on it.

It is now worth the square root of f*** all after this rubbish performance!!

Tell me about it, I have a Rooney and an Owen signed shirt from, The Mrs uses them for trade shows where she sells frames.
I think I might use them to wash the car, Or chuck them in the drawer with the countless other signed shirts we have. I wish I cared a bit more about football I am sure they would mean something.

Maybe this Rooney fella might score some goals or something and you will get a bit of cash back. Fingers crossed for you.

I'd hang on to it. If it carries on as it is The same could happen to Rooney that happened to colombian Andrés Escobar after the 1994 world cup. In which case the shirt will be worth even more LOL

Hold onto it for at least another week.. If he scores to get us through all will be forgotten.
I remember Italia 90 and how Bobby Robson got slated after the first 2 games, england scraped through to the knockout stages then cue David Platt and Gazza and Bobby is now a legend for getting them to the Semi final..

Maybe Rooney might get some decent deliveries in for a start.

Maybe they should knock all that long ball shyte on the head too as well as Fabio saying
Heskey "Big lad - you're shyte and you're on the next plane home"

However - Maybe we'll be hearing this on Wednesday night

EVERYBODY SING!

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

Even if they qualify do you really think they will win, the lads at work have done a sweep stake on the world cup and even before the start of it I said you would be gutted if you picked England in the sweepstake

I have just checked the shirt - I will try and sell it in South Korea as Park Ji-Sung has signed it.

I am not sure having Evra's signature on it will help now that France have gone out!
