Heh heh. Great scenario! The beautiful football can wait till Euro 2008, when a fully fit Rooney actually plays alongside another striker (oooh, how about a rapidly improving Theo Walcott) and England blitz the competition!
The fact that we are playing so badly and are already going to finish no worse than joint fifth, suggests that when we do finally play well, we will win the cup. France may give us a good game but the other teams will just fall apart.
