hey guys..ive heard alot about wayne rooney such as he is a great player but i havent seen him play...and i cant find any video clips online..if anyone has any video clip or w/e of him please post thanks
He's only 19, and doesn't have a ton of highlights yet. The Manchester United website has some vid of him in action but I think you have to pay to see it. Look for a Bittorrent of the Champions League match btwn. Man U vs. Fenerbache where he scored a hattrick and that will be enough.
Seen a lot of 18 year olds as strong or technically as good as rooney, have you? If you're looking for someone who's overrated then look no further than Freddy Adu.
Good point erictheking. I've never seen another player so young that has made international defenders look scared.
Please don't even try to tell me you're insinuating that Freddy has half a chance of being as good as Rooney. Yes there is a difference between 15 and 19 but at 17 Rooney was scoring against Arsenal in the EPL while Freddy will still be warming the bench in DC.
you all bring up interesting comments.. heres what i heard... if any of you know kevin anderson..an ex. mls player he coaches now for columbia univ. in ny. well i know him and the other coach on columbia i was talking to and he said he coached freddy @ regionals for u-13..and the coach sed he was aaround 15 then..because at the hotel all the u-13 year old kids were haningn while freddy wus gone chasing girls around and swimmming w/ them...so the coach said to me hes a good player but not a Great player..so if u do the math by now he wuld be about 19-20 years of age (thts wut the coach told me) wut do yall think
Just so everyone knows, I don't like Adu, I'm a Metro fan, but I think all this bashing is getting to be too much. Did this coach give any reason for why he thought Adu was 15 then?
whoever said he's overhyped is completely wrong just because he doesnt score doesnt mean he has class performances every time he steps on the pitch.
I think that Rooney is a good player. And i think he will be a FANTASTIC player in a few years time. Everton are a great club. But he's at a good club now that can help him to improve and grow into an even better player. The trouble with the English press is they do tend to get a little 'over excited' yes Rooney is a good player. But he could do without the pressure that the press are putting on his shoulders. I think that Rooney enjoys performing on the bigger stage. He seems to thrive on it more. And thats probably why he hasnt scored as many goals as he could have. But he young and the good news is he can only get better. If you want some more information on him then you can maybe try the Manchester United website or just type in Wayne Rooney in the google search engine. appleCORR
why he thought he wus 15 at the time??? i said in my post the coach thought he wus 15 wen he wus playing u-13 but now hes 19
And what was Henry doing? he wasn't even beginning to get to his current form until his early 20's.. the point: it is very hard to predict how a player will develop, especially while they are teens..
Agreed but in his Early 20's where was Henry playing and what country was he winning the world cup with. BTW wasn't the cm of that unnamed country one of the best to ever play the game oh yeah I'm sure some of that hasn't rubbed off. Also the fact he won Euro 2000 wow what a ************ resume!!! And this coming from someone who hates Henry France and Arsenal!!!!!
thought? so because Freddy liked girls and swam with them at the hotel, while the other u-13 kids went back to their rooms and yanked their wankers, Freddy had to be 15?? that's truly the dumbest logic i've ever heard in my life. memo to you and the coach who told you this absolute drivel ............. many boys like girls at 12 and 13.
I thought Adu was overrated yet a good player, until I saw him playing in a U-17 national team game being double teamed by brazil
