Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says there's no way England coach Fabio Capello can drop Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
Like many of us, Redknapp has been critical of Rooney's form so far in this World Cup.
But he wrote in his column for The Sun, "Rooney has come in for a bit of criticism for not playing at his best and not scoring so far but no one should forget Lionel Messi has yet to hit the target for Argentina.
"I don't think there is any way Capello can take Rooney out of the firing line and give him a rest as has been suggested in some quarters.
"Sure, we have not seen the great Rooney we all know.
"His performances for Manchester United put him up there with the top six in the world and he won't make any excuses for himself - but no one should forget his ankle injury came late in the season.
"Rooney epitomises the bulldog spirit with his work-rate, skill and fight. If England are to go all the way, they need him at his best.
"There is no way the manager can take him out of the team, you must let Rooney play his own way out of his barren spell and, when it ends, watch him go."
