ENGLAND 3-0 SWITZERLAND Match report Match photos Rooney warns rivals

Switzerland goalkeeper Jorg Stiel says England must improve if they are to go on and win Euro 2004.

Stiel hailed England scorer Wayne Rooney, but told BBC Sport: "The 3-0 scoreline was not fair on us. They were not as good as that suggests.

"England will have to take their performances on to a higher level if they want to win the tournament. They are good, but must improve.

"Rooney is a very good player who will get better. He has great potential."

Stiel was unhappy, however, with a first-half challenge by Rooney that earned the Everton striker a booking.

He said: "He came straight in with his foot in the direction of my face and that is not really fair, but it's okay - not a problem for me.

"Rooney is a young guy who is passionate about his football. Maybe he needs to calm down a bit, but he is young and maybe it's understandable.

"It didn't have any problems with that, but it seems the England fans had a problem with it because they were shouting against me for the rest of the game."
