Wayne Rooney, you surprised me

If you get a chance, watch the last goal of DC United versus Orlando in the 95th minute. Score was tied 2-2, DC had a corner kick and brought their GK forward! Orlando won the ball and passed the ball forward over the midfield line to a player with an open net and 15 yard beyond Rooney, the last defender. He tracked back, strip the ball, dribbled about 20 yards and launched a perfect pass that was headed in. Never did that for England.


2 more goals *

Who is the Moran who dribbled into him?

1 clean touch, could have been more, and a wide open net in front of him playing with 10 men.

Launch the ball, win the game, no Rooney (well known as being faster than he looks) heroics


It looked to me like he was trying to cut inside

to free up his right foot to take a long shot at the empty net. Still an idiot though.


He would have had the speed to beat him

Racing an Old Rooney isn't the same as Rooney 8 years ago. But stop to try and cut inside and he definitely still knows how to slide tackle.


Nice, no call on the Costa trip. *

That's brutal. I wonder if the disciplinary committee can do anything about it.


Me too. That was really dirty. *

They are dysfunctional and wretched.


They were also down to 10 men. *
