United players are always hated and under appreciated by the morons who support the Engand national team. I do wonder why any of them even bother playing for the total boring dross that is the national side. I'm sure that when Rio retires he will look at his cabinet full of medals, and memories of having payed for the biggest club in football and won't give a second thought to what the ABU nation thinks of him.
Let's not forget that Hodgson rejected Rio in favour of Terry, tells a man on the tube Rio has no future with England and doesn't have the decency to make personal contact with Rio first. Then when Hodgson gets desperate he calls up Rio, only this time Rio has the decorum and repect to travel to see Hodgson face to face to explain why he won't join up with the squad.
But hey ho as usual let's not let the facts get in the way of an ABU misinformed rant.
Representing your country should be the pinnacle for every sportsman, Regardless if he was overlooked before because a better player was available Let's not forget that Hodgson rejected Rio in favour of Terry, tells a man on the tube Rio has no future with England and doesn't have the decency to make personal contact with Rio first.

It isnt though in football, no one really cares these days. The moronic fans and media have seen England players develop a couldnt give a s
t attitude. I honestly dont know one person who is even bothered about this weekends game.He was not overlooked on ability, he wasnt picked as his brother was racially abused by John Terry.

What?
I am not sure what you are failing to understand? Ferdinand was not dropped for "footballing" reasons, given he is still probably Englands best centre half a year later, he was dropped because his brother was racially abused by John Terry and thus they couldnt play together.It is to England's and the FA's eternal shame that Terry was allowed to play.

Has anyone from the FA every come out and given that reason? Or is it just assumed that was the reason? It is to England's and the FA's eternal shame that Terry was allowed to play.
