Gerrard = Soccer God / Rooney = Ogre

I don't know if anyone cared to watch the England vs. Sweden game, but it was pretty lame. That's saying a lot for a game that ends 2-2. I mean, really, England is lucky the game didn't wind up being 3-1 against them. That's what would have happend had they let Wayne "Ogre" Rooney stay in the game and not put in Steven Gerrard. (As soon as Rooney was taken off the field he started stomping around just like an ogre, which he is.) Gerrard single handly won they game for them. 2 minutes after his sub-in he deflected a Swedish shot on the goal line. Without Gerrard in the game it would be 2-1 Sweden. Then, a few minutes later, here comes Gerrard again, scoring a goal for the Red Coats putting England up 2-1. Then...Oh, wait that's right, they didn't win. (who's suprised?) They allowed a ridiculous corner for a goal, that was sloppily played by Sweden. The ball went through at least 3 players before Sweden farted it over the line. England needs to stop worrying about the glamour shots after the game and finish it out. I'd like to see them each take a look at the video of Gerrard today. He only played for 20 minutes vs. the Swedes, but he did more than the whole team combined (except Joe Cole, man of the match) throughout the entire game. That's more than I can say for the Ogre, who just throws his shoes around and cries like a little baby.

Rooney, I realize you can't stop looking like an Ogre, but can you stop acting like a little baby one? I mean, how about letting your ogre out on the ball and scoring some goals, rather than just stomping around on the sideline.

As a Sidenote: Michael Owen injured himself in the first few minutes of the game. "It doesn't look good"
