Should be left to lower league fans.
So hypocritcal, e.g. Having rooney dancing infront of me one week when he scores to cheering his name. I just wouldnt do it.
Thats what im hoping people post in this thread for, to hear different views.
Club and country should be kept seperate to be honest. I actually think that's a reason why England get no-where these days. Too much competition in the PL means then when it comes down to playing for your country, you can't properly play together.
Hmm, most people on here, fans of 'big clubs', as you say, support England? so I don't get what you're saying.
Liverpool should be a separate country, our country, ENGLAND, would have a less worse off name if it was. :)
I'm with the OP on this, I will never and have never cheered Rooney. If he scores a winner in the World Cup I'll praise England, not him.
I think anybody who is english should support england, who else would they support?
Their familys

In regards to supporting a player, i see what people are saying but i dont understand why they wouldn't give a player credit if they do play well.
Well I guess everyone on this forum can Afterall everyone on here are pretty much glory hunters. Do they count as 'big club' ''fans''?
Supporting real football is no difference to supporting man u. Apart from there is a WAY higher chance that you actually watch them
Nope, sarcastic was when I suggested Hilario was a good keeper, my opinion above is my true view.
I find it very easy to forgive and forget. When Owen was at Newcastle I'd still cheer if he scored for England.
Hmm. There is alot of people i hate in the england squad, but i don't see them as them when in an england shirt just one of englands players.
Except rooney, he sticks out like shrek the ugly mug.
I sort of agree but then again I'd probably cheer if Rooney scored because I don't really have anything against him personally (apart from the fact he's a bit of a fruit with no personality - but that's irrelevant). On the other hand people like John Terry and Ashley Cole I regard as actual ***** so I wouldn't cheer for them. That's not really anything to do with who they play for though, just who they are.
Personally I think it's disgusting when our fans boo him after what he did for us. If anything they should be kind of smug at the fact that he's not a fraction of the player for United as he was for us lol.
Scouse is a nationality ;)
I support every sports player who represents us against other countries. I couldn't care less if they play for a team I'm not a fan of, I am english and proud of it, and although I have no respect for John Terry or Ashley Cole, I would still give them my support when they play for England.
There is a difference between respect and support, for example I don't support Manchester United, but I do have a lot of respect for the likes of Alex Ferguson and players like Ryan Giggs.
why can't people get over club rivalries when the national team is involved? swansea players have been booed at our ground and vice versa. they're playing for your own country fgs.
In this case don't support England.
If you're English you should support England, every single squad player. Each player has a speciality.
Can't believe what some of you are saying :|
Couldn't of put it any better myself. I mean, if the person is representing the country i am proud to be from, then why shouldn't i support them. I also believe that personal life should not come into games which is why i will forget what JT and AC have done when theyre playing for England, in fact i forget it whenever i see them play because they are without a doubt still good players.
When Rooney plays for England he's not playing for Manchester United.
emotions for club an country are kept separate although because man city buy in and have next to no english i have no worries about cheering for players i hate :D!
Also i think it's rather petty that you can't cheer on someone for representing their country? You hate manchester united. Fair play but Wayne Rooney isn't manchester united he plays for them so i don't see how it makes any difference they wear the same shirt as every other england player and should all be treated the same by the fans.
No matter who he is playing for, I hope Ashley Cole messes up
