IIRC both Rooney and Beckham in past world cups carried foot injuries into the tournament and were not fully fit and England failed. Brazil are not a one man team but a lot is expected or Neymar who is the golden boy as were Rooney and Beckham. Ronaldo was another Brazilian golden boy who also tried, and failed, to play while not fully fit with disastrous consequences.
Alan Hansen, ex Liverpool defender and footie pundit on MOTD* once famously said of the Man United class of 92 that you can’t win anything with kids - they went on to when the Premiership.
Mark will correct me if any of this is wrong.
* please tell me you do not need that translating.

LOL....I agree, it was an excellent result against a side that would struggle to beat an Under-11's football team.
Maybe the driver has time to go and get a coffee.
