Jonathan Wilson: Man United’s Rooney rediscovering his form despite a lack of goals
Wayne Rooney didn’t score on Saturday. He did help set up three of Manchester United’s five goals against Birmingham City and generally looked as though he may at last be approaching his best, but he didn’t net himself. So a sub-plot in most of the reviews of the game was the fact that Rooney failed to score, and that he has managed just one goal from open play for his club since March. He is in a “goal-drought,” and no matter what he does between now and scoring half a dozen goals, that will always be the first thing that is mentioned about him after games..

We know Rwanda is the story that matters. Yet still we turn to Rooney | Jonthan Freedland
Faced with depictions of horror abroad, the urge too often is to switch off. But perhaps these stories are not so foreign after allIf the media covered America the way we cover Africa, here’s what we would know of the United States over the last decade. That in 2000 there were fiercely disputed elections in which the presidency was seized by the candidate who won fewer votes than his rival. That a year later, one of the country’s major cities was rocked by a devastating terror attack, costing thousands of lives. And that in 2005 another key city was submerged in record floods, destroying homes and leaving a thousand dead after the dominant tribe left the minority tribe to their fate. Surely we would speak of America as the dark continent, cursed to face constant suffering.Much as I would like to, I can’t claim credit for that riff, which belongs to my Guardian colleague Joseph Harker, who aired it first in an essay on race and the media.

Germans wary of sturmtank Wayne Rooney but downplay martial talk
Germany’s press avoids inflammatory language in buildup to national team’s match against England in World Cup’s last 16As Germans began stocking up on extra beers and reserving their places at huge public viewing spaces in cities across the country, they looked forward in anticipation to Sunday’s meeting “with our favourite enemy, England”.But the German press is devoid of any stronger rhetoric, taking a more staid and measured approach towards the match.Spiegel Online merely notes wearily, as if Germans had heard it too many times before: “Barely were last night’s games [England's and Germany's] over, England was already demonstrating its old reflexes.”It noted that just “five minutes” after the end of the matches the Sun’s website had the banner headline: “Prepare for the old enemy.”Bild quoted national team coach Jogi Löw as saying: “England has always been something extra special.” He also warned: “But we need to raise our game.”The ARD TV channel’s football expert, Günter Netzer, a former Germany and Real Madrid midfielder now better known for his rather bland commentaries, was more upbeat. He told Bild: “We don’t need to fear England ” we’re better than they are. England rides on a good reputation but it’s not something they’re able to live up to.”Spiegel said the forthcoming match would give Wayne Rooney, who the German press refers to as a sturmtank, the chance to “fulfil the great wish he expressed the week before last, to throw Germany out of the tournament”.It said England had been “slow, passionless and lethargic” in their first two matches but now “the lions are roaring again”.Spiegel further analysed England’s poor showings early in the tournament.The magazine wrote: “It appeared the team’s old fears had caught up with it, fears that can generally be summarised as follows: England is always the favourite to win the tournament in advance; England always has bad goalies; England loses, if not due to goalkeeper failures then sometime during the penalty shootouts.”Berliner Zeitung reminds readers that the “arch rivals” last encountered each other at a World Cup at the semi-finals in Turin in 1990. “Germany won the penalty shootout,” it says, “just as it did six years later at the European Championship at Wembley.”Under the headline: “Rooney gets his duel against Germany,” Die Welt points out that England’s qualification for the next round brings a huge amount of relief with it, not least for Fabio Capello.But in a generous addendum, the paper adds that in their battle against Slovenia: “The English played as if they wanted to prove where the game of football was invented … showing a fervour that suggested that … after all the shenanigans, they had finally been injected with the necessary dose of patriotism.”Newspapers & magazinesNewspapersWorld Cup 2010EnglandGermanyGermanyKate Connollyguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds.
