In fairness, people who miss penalties for England at major tournaments never get it that badly really.

I mean, sure they get asked questions about it and it probably gets a bit boring for them after a while but theres never any kind of hate in it really.

The only people who really suffered like that were Phil Neville and Beckham. And pretty much everyone agrees that the media went WAY over the top with the stuff about Beckham.

If Rooney did scored 5 goals and then miss a crucial penalty, I am pretty sure the paper's the next day would be more like "ENGLAND PENALTY WOE FOR POOR ROON" and talking about the penalty jinx we have. As opposed to "STUPID FAT SCOUSE TWAT CAN'T SCORE FROM 12 YARDS - Free inside: Rooney dartboard."
