Roo laughs of ‘fear’ suggestions

Wayne Rooney has laughed off suggestions that England ‘feared’ the USA in their opening World Cup encounter which ended in a 1-1 draw. The Americans have accused England of being nervous and fearful during Saturday's game. Rooney however was having none of it. "They only had two or three shots from distance and only one good chance to score so I don't think there was any fear from us as we took the game to them,” scoffed the Manchester United goal ace on Wednesday. Turning his thoughts to England’s must-win clash with Algeria on Friday, Rooney said: "We have players who can score goals for us, but for us to do well I need to play a bit better than I did and score goals. But I don't feel under any pressure, as long as the team does well." Rooney has scored just once in his last eight capped internationals.
