Overpaid, underdisciplined.
It's about time he took responsibility for his behaviour.
There have been a lot of reds and yellows in this World Cup, and one can always sympathise with a player sent off, whether on a straight red or a second yellow, if it's the result of an over-enthusiastic, late, or clumsy tackle. And even the cynical foul is part of the game.
Not kicking someone in the goolies. Rooney's a spolit brat, who has to accept that he is paid an enormous amount of money to play football and represent his country. I personally don't go for this patriotism mullarkey - we were in a pub and there were these morons 'singing' God Save the Queen. Sorry, I'm an England fan and I don't see what 'God Save the Queen' has to do with England. But it keeps the chavs happy and docile, I suppose.
Rooney probbaly earns more in a day than most chavs earn in a year but I don't suppose it's ever occurred to him that he owes us something in return. Like, you know, behaving like an adult and a sportsman. Beyond his tiny little mind.
But at least we will have seen the last of the WAPs*. What an incredibly shallow pointless existence, getting your entire sense of identity from the guy who happens to be screwing you. It would be wonderful to do a "Where are They Now" in ten or fifteen years and find out how many of the WAPs are still with their goldmine. Sure, they'll be minted, but when the boobs start sagging and the waistlines thicken, their blokes will either be trading them in for a younger model with firm boobs, a thin waist and no kids, or will have retired, be away from the spotlight, might have grown up, and will be considering marrying a companion/business-partner rather than a vacuous clothes-hanger.
I remember when Footballers Wives were ordinary down-to-earth attention-shunning people like Denise Robson, Julie Whiteside, Jean Keegan, Michelle Linekar, Mme Cantona (whose first name I can't even remember but she worked in the French department at Leeds University).
