I have to say it concerns me this habit England have of playing deep. Rooney was industrious and constantly harangued the USA's back four but there were times when he was more like a centre-forward than a striker. Straight after the goal they sat back a little and let the USA come forward rather than hammering home the advantage, especially as the US defence was all at sea when anyone ran at them.

As for Heskey - he hold the ball up well and Rooney loves playing with him but missing a sitter like that - bloody hell. He's scored nowt for Villa and he's doing the same for England.
