It's ok to rant, not a problem at all, but you don't have to convince me (and many other individuals who feel the same way) as it's my opinion. I gather you're a man u fan so it's absolutely understandable as well as you confessed you love him so you would back him no matter what.
Personally, he's an ok player, when I say I don't see it, I meant like when people tag him "world class" and frankly I feel that word has been absolutely abused in recent years. One even compared Rooney to be on the same level as Ronaldo and Messi which is absolutely ludicrous, there are tons way better, and he's just one of the typical overpriced, overrated English players. Neymar, RVP, Messi and the likes are literary carrying their nations in the world cup, Rooney has only scored his 1st world cup goal for England, wow. And this world cup he was nowhere the best English player who shun, there were a few who actually rose to the occasion.
He does have a glimpse of flashes here and there, so does any other player, hence why I don't see what's "special". I'd love to see him be the best English player in a tournament not when he's surrounded by top players with a top manager in Fergie and you think it's Rooney who's brought man u it's success, no, it's Fergie, which we have seen since he retired.
