Marvin Andrews: Rooney isn't big worry - Henrik is !
The Daily Record.[/size]

Marvin Andrews last night insisted he is more worried about facing super Swede Henrik Larsson at the World Cup than England wonder boy Wayne Rooney. The Trinidad and Tobago star can't wait for his country to make their tournament debut in Germany - they open against Sweden on June 10 then face Sven Goran Eriksson's men five days later.
But while Rooney is being tipped to take the World Cup by storm, Rangers defender Andrews revealed he's only concentrating on how to deal with the threat posed by former Celtic star Larsson, now at Barcelona.
He said: "I'm not thinking about Rooney at all. The England game is far from my mind. Our first game is against Sweden and that is the one we are all preparing for from now on.
"I've played against Henrik in Scotland so I know all about him. It will be good to play against him again as he is a top-class player."
Trinidad's preparations started smoothly with a 2-0 friendly win over Iceland in London on Tuesday night thanks to a Dwight Yorke double, with Dundee United's Collin Samuel setting up the first to play himself into manager Leo Beenhakker's plans for Germany.
Beenhakker, who also brought on Falkirk player-coach Russell Latapy as a late substitute, said: "Samuel did well, very well.
"I invited him two or three times to our qualification matches. At that time I didn't have a good impression but he's doing much better."
Beenhakker's side are expected to be no more than makeweights in Group B, which also includes dark horses Paraguay, but Andrews was having none of it.
And given he was the only one who believed Rangers' final day SPL triumph last season was possible the born-again Christian may have a point.
He added: "It doesn't matter to me what people say. We know our dream, our goal and we have to go out and do it.
"We're going to give Sweden and England a game. On any day you never know what is going to happen. Anything is possible.
"Every person can assume something is going to happen but God is the one with the final say."
Rangers' Champions League campaign reaches another critical point on Tuesday when they travel to Villarreal in search of goals following the 2-2 first-leg draw at Ibrox.
The odds are stacked against them but Andrews said: "It is possible we can go there and win. Anything can happen. With Rangers and my national team, God is the one in control."
Andrews is hoping for a recall for Saturday's SPL clash at Falkirk after being left on the bench for the last two games.

That headline is a bit misleading...but still someone needs to put a muzzle on Dog quick 

[Sam]

Marvin is right "God is in control"

But Rooney have a real bad attitude, he even refuse to sing his national anthem at the begining of the game yesterday while every other players was singing it, he shut he mouth like he vex with de world. De man is a pitt-bull, he is the only forward who tackle like a defender... he wil be a hand full and he have a powerful shot, he will not wait for Andrews to come on him, he will shot before. Bent and Owen is just pure speed something that worries me...

Henrik is very clinical. He slow down a little and might be easier to mark, but on set plays we have to becareful, he can finish if is one thing...

By the time the world cup reaches, all these teams will be ready, so any road we take it will be rough, we will have to close down players quicker that Ato in 1997.

Paraguay we must becareful off, they are very quiet and confident. While everyone worrying about England, I believe Paraguay might be the ones to watch, their style is very difficult to mark... ground ball will always hurt you...

[Fyzoman]

[R45]

Perfect example of sensationalised headlines

[Blue]

The Record was just trying to hype up the Old Firm Rivalry. Henrik is a legend in Scotland (to Celtic fans). The writer knew what the story was going to be before he even asked Dog the question.
