Sadly, I can see that happening, and it may be their undoing, as it was in the last two tournaments (rember Portugal?).

and get over this mental block of depending on one player to save them. in the past you had Beckham, now it's Rooney. The whole team seems to lift when these players come on, but England are more than capable of playing at a higher lever when they are not on the pitch as well. There's a huge dependancy and it isn't fair on the player in question.
Oh, and can the BBC PLEASE stop refering to England games, past and present, every 10 minutes during EVERY game they cover even when England are not playing!!! GAH!!!
