The game's also about the other 89 minutes.
It's also about
:
Zidane - 95 goals in 500 games (31 in 108 for France)
Ronaldinho - 126 in 301, 24 in his best season (32 in 80 for Brasil)
Charlton - 279 in 828 (49 in 106 for England)
Different players, different styles but every one of them a match turner.
The top scorer in the PL in 98/99 was Hasselbank but it was Yorke, Cole, OJS and Sheringham who have the memories. We've had the PL's top scorer once since its inception (RvN in 2003) For the fourth season in succession Rooney will score about 20 goals - and some of them will be crucial.
Sure I'd like to see him score more (because I'm greedy and I think he likes scoring) and maybe next season he'll do the Henry-esque leap and become a 30ish a year player instead of a 20ish. But if he doesn't it might be down to the kind of player he's "meant" to be rather than how many hours he spends practising finishing.
