    “I’d swap all my goals for winners medal” quips a socks and sandals wearing Wayne Rooney

    Wayne Rooney took full kit w@nkery to a new level yesterday. Speaking live in the studio with manager Roy Hodgson following England’s routine victory of minnows San Marino, Wayne Rooney presumably didn’t have time to change and instead went for a socks and sandals combo.

    Fashionista Rooney had been collared to talk in the studio after making history with his 49th England goal, equalling Sir Bobby Charlton’s record.

    England take on Switzerland at Wembley on Tuesday, and many are hoping that Rooney breaks the record and becomes his nations leading scoring in front of his home fans. However, a humble Rooney insisted that he’d soon swap all his goals for a winners medal at international level.

    If and when Rooney breaks the record, it must be insisted that he brings out the socks and sandals look for the victory parade.

    Didier Drogba made his first appearance in the MLS for new side Montreal Impact last night, defeating a strong Chicago Fire team 4-3. In true Drogba fashion, he introduced himself in just about the best way possible; a perfect hat-trick.

    Drogba’s first goal came from a lovely, early cross from Nigel Reo-Coker. His first touch was exquisite, shrugging off Eric Gehrig and bringing the ball down on the turn before prodding the ball past Sean Johnson in the Chicago goal. He looked hungry for more.

    However, it was Chicago who struck next. Harry Shipp won a penalty which Jeff Larentowicz dispatched confidently. Montreal went back in front just 6 minutes later, as Wandrille Lefevre snuck in at the back post to head home a corner that Johnson couldn’t get a hand to. The goals continued – it took just 2 minutes for the Fire to be level once again. This time Gilberto slotted in after good work from his strike partner Kennedy Igboananike.

    This time it was Chicago who took the lead – Igboananike rose highest from a corner to head his side 3-2 in front on 58 minutes. However, their lead didn’t last long either. Just two minutes later Drogba hammered the ball into the top right corner from a quick free-kick, leaving Johnson with no chance. Drogba finished the scoring for the night by completing his perfect hat-trick. Callum Mallace whipped a perfect ball in which found Drogba totally unmarked in the box. His volley was matched by Johnson, who pulled off a stunning reaction save, but unfortunately for him the power behind the shot knocked him backward into the goal and Drogba had the simple task of following up and nodding the ball into an empty net.

    And that was how it finished. An entertaining game that was no doubt won by Drogba. He proved he still has plenty of appetite for the game, and Montreal fans will be eagerly awaiting their next match to see if the ex-Chelsea man can score again. He had his doubters when the move was announced, but those who said he was past his prime will be swallowing their words right now. He certainly did it in England with Chelsea, and it looks like he’s going to do it again here in the US. If you think you are the next Drogba and could make it in the Premier League then why not check out some UK Football trials, where you could be spotted by clubs like Chelsea.

  • Did Cesc Fabregas purposely snub David De Gea and leave him hanging?

    Did Cesc Fabregas purposely snub David De Gea and leave him hanging?

    No, probably not, but lets all get way too excited and assume the worst.

    During Spain’s 2-0 win over Slovakia thanks to goals from Jordi Alba and Andres Iniesta, Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas came off as sub for Arsenal man Santi Cazorla just after the hour mark.

    As Fabregas made his way to the bench he was greeted with the customary high fives from his teammates including David De Gea. In the footage above, Fabregas appears to ‘miss’ De Gea out. We are not convinced Fabregas purposely ignored him, but what do you think? Is this ripe for conspiracy theorists to get frothing at the mouth, or just an innocuous accident?

    It sums up a pretty bad week for De Gea. First he sees his move to Real Madrid collapse because two of the worlds biggest clubs can’t get their act together, and now he’s getting left hanging by his teammates.

    Not too shabby, not too shabby at all this from Raphael Varane.

    Looking a little bored during a warmup session the day after France’s game against Portugal, Varane confidently juggles a ball showing off his repertoire of flicks and tricks.

    Despite being occupied with his juggling, Varane kept an eye on the camera filming him and drilled the ball in his direction once he’d had enough.
