It's true though Rooney was on fire during that tournament and genuinely scared teams so maybe he'd have got them to the final. Not convinced they'd have beaten Holland in the semis though. Holland were pretty crap that year, shouldnt have even made semi finals. if I remember they were playing Van Der Meyde most games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a team full of over the hill players such as Frank De Boer, Overmars, Stam, Davids and Cocu, plus RVN didn't have a good tournament (mainly because as you point players like Van Der Meyde where the creative players).
