Figured we could all use a distraction. Did not see a new Rooney thread so here you go. Took him several weeks to get on the board. Then he suffers a broken nose in stoppage time.

Howard couldn't have opened his legs any wider if Rooney had bought him drinks all night and promised he'd still respect him in the morning.

Still though, congrats to Wayne for getting on the score sheet.

Vintage Rooney. Wtf was the keeper doing when the match was a draw and up a man? Nearly cost his team.

I opened the link expecting to see an absurd bicycle kick but what I saw instead was even more phenomenal. That is Rooney

Saw it live too. Incredible stuff by Rooney after 90+ minutes in ridiculous heat and humidity to hustle back, get the strip, take 3-4 composed touched to set up the long ball and deliver an inch-perfect ball.

Looks like he's having fun playing football again. Great to see.

Unbelievable...Always have and always will love Wayne Rooney. A buddy and former team mate of mine plays for DC United. I just messaged him about this play. Waiting to hear back from him...

History will remember Wayne Rooney very kindly, I think.

I'm reading on reddit, that DC United needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Class act.
