I will never know what it is like to train five days a week for several hours and play in a high paced match twice a week. But what I wouldn't give to be in the position of the likes of Rooney, Gerrard, Terry and Co. They get paid around one hundred thousand pounds a week to live the life that every football fan dreams about every night.
Yet Rooney came out and essentially claimed that England would always be too tired to win the World Cup unless the English Premier League introduced what is pretty much a Christmas holiday.
When you consider that there are people who are working in factories moving heavy loads around from 9 'til 5 doing this all year round with only a 2 week holiday. Rooney will finish training around 1pm and be done for the day and he will have a fairly long summer holiday.
Rooney has since gone on to show his true character as just another disloyal footballer. He had the cheek to question the England fan's loyalty after the Algeria game but has turned his back on both his boyhood club Everton and threatened to walk out on Manchester United because they "lacked ambition." That lack of ambition in the last 4 seasons which has won them; 3 league titles, 2 League Cups, 1 Champions League and 1 Club World Cup. But astonishingly he could look past the lack of ambition by accepting a contract for around £180k per week, money that could be spent buying better players.
Having looked at Wayne Rooney it doesn't often look like a thought has ever passed through his potato-shaped head but hopefully next time he decides to open his mouth someone will stop him. For his own sake, let's hope he has a mate who will hit him before he says something stupid again.
