Rooney’s 2000th Goal

19 years ago in News & Features

For the first time Wayne Rooney is going to be in the starting lineup of Sven’s squad hoping to get past Sweden as Sven confirmed. He will replace Peter Crouch, who was booked against Paraguay, as Michael Owen’s partner in attack. In today’s game, I have a very strong feeling that Rooney is going to get FIFA’s 2000th point in the England vs Sweden game wherein the goal total is at

The penalty that Fernando Torres struck home to give Spain a 3-1 victory over Tunisia in Stuttgart last night was goal number 1,991. Today’s earlier matched have increased the goal total to 1,997 which means England and Sweden just needs to score three goals to close or surpass the total today.

The Head Tells it All

World Cup Hair Only in FIFA World Cup. Need I say anything because I am sure his head tells everything.

Seriously, I am fascinated and in awe on the passion of players, fans and the entire world in football. Only in this game would you see the most creative styles in face, body and different eye popping looks.

Taribo West: This Prodigy-esque effort was as green as the Nigerian flag; what a lovely, proud gesture. Pity it stopped him heading a last-minute equaliser against the Swedes in 2002, eh?

Last Updated: June 18, 2006

Date Played: June 11, 2006 (Group Stage)
Opponent: Angola
Scorer/s: Pauleta 4′
Budweiser Man of the Match: Luis Figo

This was not a convincing win for Portugal but a good start nevertheless for a team that had a disastrous opening in FIFA World Cup 2002 and Euro 2004 which they were not able to reverse. The goal came at the 4th minute from Pauleta to secure three points for the team. It was not a great performance but the points matter more.

After scoring the first goal Angola responded by playing hard making Portugal earn possession while the leader on the other hand protected their lone goal until the final minute. Portugal’s early aggresiveness subsided in the second half and relegating themselves into a defensive stance making sure they get the win.

The 1996, 1997 and 2002 World Footballer of the Year was a disgrace in the first game against Croatia with Kaka providing the only goal for the team. Brazil’s below expectation performance and Argentina’s spectacular showing are tipping the scale of the World Cup Finals.

After Sunday’s game Ronaldo was blasted across the Brazilian press with headlines:
