Wayne Rooney Eager For Action

Wayne Rooney

Reportedly, Wayne Rooney simply can­not wait to get back for England’s third and final group fix­ture in the 2012 European Cham­pi­on­ships against Ukraine at the Olympic Sta­dium next Tues­day. The Manchester United marks­man serves the last match of his two-game ban when The Three Lions take on Sweden in Kiev this Friday.

Aged sev­en­teen, Wayne Rooney earned him­self his first senior cap for the coun­try of his birth in an inter­na­tional friendly encounter against Aus­tralia at Boleyn Ground on the 12th of Feb­ru­ary 2003. The Liv­er­pool born fron­trun­ner was very young of age but his poten­tial great­ness was already shin­ing through and in the UEFA European Foot­ball Cham­pi­on­ships in Por­tugal the fol­low­ing year he became the young­est ever goal scorer in the his­tory of the tour­na­ment when he net­ted an amaz­ing brace in the respect­able 3–0 suc­cess against Switzer­land. Then a mere four days later, Wazza´s youth­ful bravado sur­faced again when he scored another double in the con­vin­cing 4–2 tri­umph over Croa­tia. And des­pite the fact that his Eng­land career has had its fair share of ups and downs, Wayne Rooney has still man­aged to con­trib­ute 28 hits in 78 appear­ances for The Three Lions. But per­haps above all, play­ing at inter­na­tional level for nearly a dec­ade has taught him to curb his own nat­ural impetu­os­ity. Wayne Rooney: “I love play­ing foot­ball but I think I am like every­one else, I hate los­ing and love win­ning. And if the time comes when I am not dis­ap­poin­ted when things are def­in­itely not going right, then that’s when people should worry.”
