John Rooney, brother of Manchester United striker Wayne, was drafted to the MLS
by New York Red Bull. 20-year old Rooney has stated he wants to step out of his
older brothers shadows an make a name for himself New York might just be the ideal spot for
him.
Below is the goal Rooney scored at the MLS Combine last week.
Wayne Rooney scored one of the goals of the season Saturday to defeat Manchester City in the
hotly contested Manchester derby. In a drab game that had several uneventful spells mixed with
possession-football by both sides, chances were few and far between.
So it took a moment of brilliance from Rooney to score an absolute peach of a goal past Joe Hart
and to give all three points to United.

air of 'Grinchiness' while watching United last night.

of his brother Rhodri.
In light of the recent developments concerning Ryan Giggs and his alleged trysts with his brother's

"Thank God I'm a footballer and I don't have to do this kind of thing every day.
The current transfer window in Poland is far more interesting that I expected. First of all, the

capitalize on his impressive Europa League performances and moved to his dreamt of Bundesliga.

Some questions just don't have answers. Hamlet, for example, struggled with the almighty

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
Which, if scaled a bit in scope and taken less existentially and more pertinently, can be
applied to anyone reading this blog.
