When Rooney moved stateside many saw it as a twilight years type move and that his best was in the past. Well, there may be something to that, but it’s all about levels and last year he almost singlehandedly dragged the DC United team into the Eastern Conference playoffs. This was from a position of bottom place prior to his joining.
Yesterday we got to see another glimpse of brilliance and what he has to offer the team, via a half way (in fact beyond the half way mark) line goal. The spectacular goal proved to be the winner in the game and is in fact the third such goal Rooney has scored in his career. It’s clear that he still has plenty to offer the sport!
