I also assume you have not heard about the work for charity that both Beckham and Rooney are constantly involved in.
Beckham has been praised by the church as he is a 'model father'. He spends hours and hours talking to young people and helping them.
Rooney, you forget, has grown up in the public eye. He's only 20. Remember what you were doing at 20 and then realise how much more Rooney does for other people.
One of my friends went to school with Peter Crouch. Try telling her that he has no personality.

We also shouldn't forget that when we last played the cheating Argies last November, we wiped them off the floor with the same teams.

Of course they do things in the community, but under what pretence? Publicity? Greed?

Sure celebrities can occasionally be altruistic. It'd be absurd to say that England players always seem arrogant.

When Beckham goes to one of these events and opens his mouth to expose his vapid intelligence, I can't help but laugh.

Crouch has personality, but not one I'd like to sit beside.

Rooney seems rather quiet and timid, and when he does try to talk about relevant issues, he shows the wearwithall of a high school drop-out. Probably not a bad bloke, but certainly not someone I'd want to share a conversation with.

But hey, support your team regardless of these qualities.

Namaste.

So they don't have great public speaking qualities, so what?
So most of them grew up in poor inner city estates, so what?
This is the same throughout the world. It happens because these kids join a club when they are 11. they're not academically gifted but who's to say they have no personality?
Their talent is with their feet, not their mouths, so what you're basically saying is irrelevant. It's not an English trait. It's a trait of footballers everywhere

Do you base how much of a personality everyone has based on academic performance?
Not sure that wins you many friends.

let it fly J, herpes is just on a higher intellectual level to us mere mortals.

we support international teams because they are the countries of our birth, or we feel some tie to them. stop romanticizing about the wonderful philanthropy (i've got a thesaurus too) of ronaldo and any other barrio kid. there are moral, immoral, good, bad, greedy, giving players for all teams.

sport is competition, played by humans with all their human frailities. sometimes they play fair, sometimes they don't. get over it, and quit the moralising and enjoy the game.

and for your information, ronaldhinho was a real playa at psg (thats paris st gemain) who was in and out of clubs as much as he was the team. so now you get your mother theresa playing for brazil?! give us all a break!
