Wayne Rooney the highest paid man in the English Premier League for many reasons. Rooney signed the richest contract in English football history because of good reason. This is not one of those reasons. Wayne Rooney had a great cross to set up Daniel Sturridge for England’s only goal today. But this corner kick in the 77th minute? Wow, this is terrible.
