Wayne Rooney and England are just 45 minutes away from being eliminated from the 2014 FIFA World Cup. They trail Uruguay 1-0 at the half as Luis Suarez proved how fit he truly is.
Rooney is the all tie goal scorer in the long illustrious history of Manchester United. However, he’s still scoreless in 729 minutes of World Cup play. That streak almost ended in the first half today.
Wayne Rooney had a chance to put Three Lions up 1-nil over La Celeste , but the 28-year-old saw his header go right off the crossbar. This would have been the goal, and the play of the World Cup, had he converted. A near miss from point blank range.
