Former World Cup winner and England national Martin Peters compared Wayne Rooney to soccer legend Pele, predicting that the English striker will be unstoppable this summer.

"At the European Championships, Wayne Rooney was fantastic but two years on people are aware of his ability," said Peters, according to Ananova.com. "They will know about Wayne but that does not mean they will stop him."

Rooney's good, but he's no Pele. My guess is Peters was missing that limelight from 1966, and wanted to get in the news again.

Good job, it worked.
