Rooney !!

Rooney !!

Seriously, I wanted to watch the match, but I can't, coz I had been sleeping late the past few nights.. and my mom has not been really happy about it..I thought I could give this match a miss, coz..you know, being a Cup match, Fergie would probably be resting a few players to keep them fresh for the Arsenal game on Tuesday.

How wrong was I, as Rooney and Ronaldo produced one of their best displays of the season so far against a lacklustre Boro side.

I was especially pleased with Rooney's 2 goals, with critics critising him for not living up to his price tag lately.

His first goal was simply sublime. A pass by captain of the day, Gary Neville, slipped through to Rooney, who did well to stay onside. However, what made the finish so stunning, was the ball was actually rolling on the ground, instead of bouncing up and down.


Sheer Strength

His second, was an exhibition of Rooney's brutal strength he possesses as he thundered a powerful right-footed volley. All the keeper could see was blur bullet flying pass him into the upper corner of the net.

I sure wouldn't want to miss the thriller on Tuesday morning !
