Naturally I'm full of admiration for Rooney but the additon of him won't win it alone - the firepower is there (apart from when Crouch is up front) but I don't see it in the rest of the team. Beckham isn't the player he was 5 years ago (not that England came close to winning the World Cup - or anything - back then) and Rio is hardly firing on all cylinders. The Chelsea connection of Cole/Lampard/Terry (along with Rooney) is the only thing I think England can base their hopes on.

You still won't win though
