Where do we stand on Ferguson’s ‘pressure’ claim?
It has been a while since England’s abysmal World Cup campaign came to an end. This doesn’t mean people are going to stop talking about it though and the latest to have his say is Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Manchester United boss focused his comments mainly on the performances (or lack of them) from Wayne Rooney. The England man was way below par in South Africa and Ferguson believes that the “expectation on him” contributed to this. The best betting site odds made him one of the favourites to be top scorer in the competition, but he failed to find the net.
Ferguson mentioned how many had suggested that Rooney could be the “player of the tournament” and outshine the heavyweights of world football like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Lionel Messi.
Admittedly, this is a lot of pressure on someone like Rooney. He would have thought to himself “it is all down to me” and, in a sense, it was. Rooney was poor in the four games and so were England - that is no coincidence.
Rooney should have used the “it’s down to me” role in a more positive way. He should have come out fighting for his country. He should have thought: “If I don’t perform here, we aren’t going too far, so let’s do this.”
Perhaps after a long season for Manchester United, this was too much to ask. However, I was as shocked as anyone with regard to Rooney’s performances. Whether it was the pressure or not though, I’m not sure. Perhaps he did just handle it in the wrong way. Regardless, anyone who placed a free online bet on England would have been upset by the outcome of things.
Ferguson is convinced that the 24-year-old will come back fighting though. He says that in four years time “you’ll see a different player” at the World Cup.
Who is piling on the pressure now, Fergie?

Official 2009 UEFA Champions League Final Shirts
The 2009 UEFA Champions League Final is now just one week away as the football world braces itself for what promises to me a mouthwatering final between Manchester United and Barcelona. With both clubs already crowned Champions of their respective leagues, this really is a match to determine the undisputed best club side in Europe.
