Rooney Showboating???

BabyLayz · 16th April 2008, 18:01

Did anyone see Rooney's elastico on Alex Song

Bloody Spectacular, jus like dinho himself.

But is that any worse than Ronaldo or Nani's showboating???

Is it even Show boating?

if u are going to start a thread on something like this at least have a link or pic ready

Bape · 16th April 2008, 18:35

How is it even showboating? He used a skill to get past a player, good bit of skill mind, and nicely executed.. but hardly 'spectacular'.

Uploaded if anyone wants to watch..

Thanks for uploading that, I didn't even notice that during the game. Nice skill.

Solius · 16th April 2008, 18:39

I noticed it but forgot about it shortly afterwards, nice bit of skill.

pepsi07 · 16th April 2008, 18:40

not exactly elastico

Solius · 16th April 2008, 18:40

And no, it's nowhere near showboating, he used the skill to get past Song in order to cross in.

splitting hairs. the only difference is that the ball is initially moving. it's practically the same skill.

reddevilcanada · 16th April 2008, 18:51

nice skill by Rooney, i like to see more of those from him

Raven_Blade · 16th April 2008, 19:00

More of that from Rooney please. Go out there and express yourself some more.

It's not. If a correct elastico would allow you to take two touches it wouldn't be anything spectacular and hard about it. The hard thing about the elastico is to get the foot around the ball without losing contact between the ball and the foot.

Nice dribble nonetheless, but not an elastico.

Rahul · 16th April 2008, 19:27

Not an elastico but good skill.

Yes. Been checking out Rivelinho's elastico(inventor) on youtube and there's not much difference. . .as you said the difference is that ball was moving in the Rooney clip. Ronaldinho's elastico's fantastic, but fat Ronaldo's wasn't too bad either..

Spoonov · 16th April 2008, 19:49

Fantastic Ronaldo compilation. I like that skill at 1:32.

I_live_cement · 16th April 2008, 19:50

That isn't an elastico in my book, I could do better than that (not in an actual game though) the foot needs to stay in contact with the ball.

massey · 16th April 2008, 20:05

That's the spastico

park fiction · 16th April 2008, 20:06

oh wow.

rooney can do some skill.
well i never!

we probably shouldnt sell him anymore

Rooney has more skill than that. He doesnt use it often enough though.

wtf is wrong with youtube ???

KeyserSoze · 16th April 2008, 23:26

Good skill. Not remotely showboating.

Ronaldo No.9 · 16th April 2008, 23:32

Christofaux · 17th April 2008, 00:45

not showboating...

Gael Clichy has done it before

krazyrobus · 17th April 2008, 01:13

A half-elastico? Still a very nice move, needs to do more of that.
