One wrong pass and Wayne Rooney could go from a glittering international career to life in a trailer park.

Something Wazza must fight to avoid if faced by Franck Ribery in the battle to Write The Future.

Timing is Everything

BLOG_MY — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:11:02 GMT

You’re the club’s talisman and star striker with 27 goals in all competitions; this is the first opportunity of the season to claim some silverware.

But you find yourself on the bench, rested because of a niggling injury.

You watch your team go a goal down, from the dugout, and you watch the player in your position score the equaliser.

You watch and you wait.

You wait on the sideline as your number’s shown on the board.
You watch as the ball’s floated in from the right wing.
You wait, timing your jump perfectly.
You wait as the ball loops towards the top corner.

You watch the ball hit the back of the net.

If you’re Wayne Rooney, it’s not a matter of “if” you’ll make the difference; it’s when.

Rooney Silences San Siro

BLOG_MY — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:56:02 GMT

A great match between two great teams. The one difference was Wayne Rooney.

But it didn't start that way. Ronaldinho had Milan on top after just 3 minutes and controlled much of the first half. But Manchester United woke up right before the break and tied the game, setting up a second half primed for The Rooney Show.

Deadly accuracy did not disappoint. Two goals in ten minutes. Two surprise headers caught San Siro silent, and even a late goal couldn't bring them back.

To England now - will it be any different in the second leg?

His first four goal haul.

Another world class performance.

Wayne Rooney's been in deadly form so far this term.

Focused and firing on all cylinders, this is his best season yet.

Can he break the 30 league goal barrier?

Ten Years of Deadly Accuracy - Wayne Rooney: 28.09.04

nikesingpore — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 12:05:53 GMT

Sir Alex Ferguson had eyed Wayne Rooney since he ended Arsenal's 39-game unbeaten run with that goal and became the Premier League’s youngest scorer.

But was he good enough for Man Utd? Could he perform at the very top level? On 28 September 2004, Wayne started his first game for the Red Devils, a group game in Europe’s elite club competition.

Over 90 astonishing minutes, Wayne fired a debut hat-trick to single-handedly demolish his opponents. As well as any questions about his ability. Rooney had arrived.

Get ready for Pro Combat

BLOG_TH — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:15:32 GMT

Wayne Rooney knows, before you wade into combat, you must be prepared – mentally and physically.

Because in every game, Wayne leaves every ounce of energy on the pitch. He runs furthest. Shoots fiercest. Tackles hardest. That’s the definition of a Pro Combat player.

It’s not about scoring every week. It’s about sacrificing yourself for the team, doing the hard work that holds it all together.

Watch Rooney’s Physical Edge video. And check back soon to find out how you can vote for your Pro Combat Player of the Week.

A battle for first

Before you wade into combat, you must be prepared – mentally and physically.

Rooney is ready. Ready to take on the in-form blues and ready to take United to the top of the table.

Prepare for combat.

Rise above it

BLOG_TH — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:59:25 GMT

Sometimes, build-up threatens to overshadow the game.

The rookie manager challenging his former master. The once-beloved player returning to face his former fans. The first genuine Manchester-wide title tussle for years.

But amid a swirling cauldron of screaming fans, Man Utd proved the benefit of keeping cool and playing the game, not the occasion.

When all was done, the red half of Manchester walked off with their 61st Derby win.

Better than a Derby

BLOG_TH — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 06:10:46 GMT

Back and forth action featuring the precise passing of Arsenal and the muscled management of Manchester United. Fans got what they asked for in the first meeting of the season for two English powerhouses.

A 20-meter strike from Andrei Arshavin, Arsenal’s newest all star, finds the upper 90, powering through the keeper’s hand to start the scoring. A solid penalty from Wayne Rooney, Manchester’s now unquestioned offensive leader, brought the match even. It was edge of your seat madness for 90 minutes.

The red devils took the lead with their second goal in a 5-minute span, which sealed the home victory for Rooney and crew, and left Arsenal forced to look forward. The rematch in London, exactly 5 months from now, will again put the players in the pressure cooker, right where the fans want them, with a much better idea of how the league table is shaking out. January 30th can’t come soon enough.

Feared Far and Wide

Black, brooding and with a V for victory slashed across its chest, Man U’s new strip has been engineered to inspire the away win – before a ball’s even been kicked.

Like the home strip, this kit is rooted in a century of history, with elements taken from the very first Old Trafford season of 1909/1910. It’s been designed to intimidate, with a blue chevron; black shirt, shorts and socks; and ‘The Theatre of Dreams Since 1910’ woven onto the inside label. It’s dark, menacing, and readies the team for another electrifying season.

Make The Difference

BLOG_TH — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:11:45 GMT

You could stop at enough.
Just another name on the teamsheet.
Happy just to turn up.

Or you could become their worst nightmare.

The one who turns a game in an instant.
Sees the pass no-one else sees.
Turns desperate defence into decisive attack.

Be the one that they worry about days before kick-off.
Who blurs the line between hate and respect.
Who can never be stopped,
Only feared.

Wayne Rooney and T90

BLOG_TH — Thu, 08 May 2008 04:05:14 GMT

We’ve all seen Wayne Rooney put it where he wants it. Sit behind the goal when he strikes a ball in his new Nike T90 Laser IIs and it feels like you’re in the path of a guided missile.

Then again, sledgehammer shooting doesn’t mean a thing if you’re hitting the stands instead of the stanchion. When Rooney puts his foot through the ball, you can put away your measuring tape and track his distribution in blades of grass, not metres.

The secret? Take a look under the bonnet of his weapon of choice. Rooney has been part of the T90’s evolution since day one, dropping into Nike World HQ to test prototypes and tell the Nike development teams what makes his game tick.
