Hooker Rooined his World Cup
RooneyのHookerとのスキャンダルがとうとう表沙汰になってしまいました。World Cupの「無能ぶり」もこれが下人だったとThe Sunは論評しています。Rooinedはもちろん、ruinedのもじり。(UG)
WAYNE ROONEY had a wretched World Cup because he was living in fear of being exposed as a love cheat.
The Manchester United striker, 24, told close pals throughout his time in South Africa that he was worried his relationship with hooker Jenny Thompson would become public.
And friends close to the England star believe that was the reason for his shocking showings against the likes of Germany.
He was meant to be one of the biggest stars on the world stage but instead was one of the biggest flops - failing to score in four games as England crashed out.
