Maybe I watch too much EPL but I have to give props to Rooney and Tevez, guys who do it at pace, in the TOUGHEST league in the world. I watch a little La Liga and a little Serie A, and guys like Xavi, Messi, Ronaldinho.....even Beckham!.....get all day on the ball, with "token" pressure. In the case of the first three, perhaps it is due to respect of their extremely high skill level, but come on, Rooney and Tevez are fighting with gorillas in a phone booth! Xavi, Messi and Ronaldinho are dancing with the stars on a wide-open ballroom floor (unless, of course, Gattuso is in the room!).
