It would take a miracle for the Old Scot to silence the voices of all concerned people who keep arguing, predicting, gossiping, and analyzing what can now be called “The Wayne Rooney Saga”. From the public’s point of view, it all started with the news that Roo had cheated on his wife Coleen.

Attention from the media on the English striker immediately increased and his recent performances on pitch failed to hit back at the idea that quickly grew among Manchester United fans and other interested football fans and pundits: Wayne Rooney can’t take it anymore at Old Trafford.

England vs Montenegro Report

Montenegro help onto top spot in Group G with a hard fought 0-0 draw at Wembley Stadium. Star striker Mirko Vucinic was ruled out with injury before the game, but Montenegro produced a solid defensive display to leave England with a point.
England had the majority of possession in the first half, but failed to find a cutting edge. Ashley Young and Adam Johnson on the wings were England’s primary form of attack, but the Montenegro backline held firm to go in at the break tied at 0-0.

The second half followed a similar pattern. Despite gaining a lot of possession, England could never truly get to grips with the 5 man Montenegro midfield and were limited to a handful of chances. One chance came when a clever through ball by Steven Gerrard produced Wayne Rooney with a good scoring chance, but his shot was well saved by Miladen Bozovic.

2010 FIFA World Cup Final: New Yellow Card Rule To Favor Top Players

Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Wayne Rooney, and David Villa are all players who the fans would want to see in the 2010 FIFA World Cup final, if ever their teams were to reach that particular stage.

Yellow Card rule at the 2010 World CupNevertheless, what if they got booked for a second time in the semi-finals? Can the supporters afford to see their stars miss the 2010 World Cup final? Certainly not! And for that reason, football’s governing body, known as the Federation International de Football Association or FIFA, has decided to reshuffle the rule for yellow cards so as to favor big players in the tournament.

Normally, a player receiving a yellow card on match-day 1 and then another yellow card on match-day 2 would be suspended on Day 3. In the same way, a player who was shown yellow in a quarter-final game, and then got booked again in his semi-final battle would usually be automatically suspended from the final. Yet, with the all-new FIFA rule for yellow cards, players are saved in the semi-final.

More on the 2010 World Cup rule on Yellow Cards

Yes, looking back at Michael Ballack’s suspension from the final during the 2002 FIFA World Cup semifinals when Germany advanced to face Brazil on the last day, FIFA decided days ago to favor the big names. For this reason, they have put in place a new regulation clearing players from their previous bookings in the semifinals; meaning that a player entering a semi-final game on yellow card will not miss the final even if he gets book in the ½ stage.

World Cup 2010: Nike World Cup Ad Video – Hidden Revelations & Images

Nike’s World Cup video advert titled “WRITE THE FUTURE” seems to be the fans’ best football commercial at the moment, with over 6 millions views on YouTube despite its recent release on May 21. The video shows great stars among which are Didier Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fabio Cannavaro, Ronaldinho, Wayne Rooney, Frank Ribery, Andres Iniesta, Landon Donovan, Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Kobe Bryant, and it even has cameo appearances of the Simpsons. Nevertheless, it also presents relevant images with hidden facts and memories ahead of the 2010 World Cup.

Nike logoNike Video Description

First, we start by seeing the video, describing its scenes, and then analyzing its pictures as we advance in this post. It certainly makes sense to believe that Nike's main purpose through this commercial was to give away vital but brief revelations upon football's future, while fooling viewers with a mix of creativity and humor.

Although the advert's eye-openers might not be visible at first glance, they might be clear at second glance. The key to discovering the hidden messages inserted in the commercial, is to closely follow each and every moment of it, whilst leaving behind any doubt over Nike's audacity to bypass the attention of spectators in such a "smart way".

I have added the full version of the "WRITE THE FUTURE" ad below, as I challenge you readers to grab the tiniests details out of it which could lead you to the truth, and therefore enable you to make your notices and discoveries. Can you catch anything?

A quick reminder – What is the European Golden Shoe?

The European Golden Shoe is an award formerly known as the European Golden Boot. Many refer to it as the “UEFA Golden Boot” or the “UEFA Golden Shoe”. This award is given annually by the Union of European Football Associations to the overall top scorer of all the first division leagues in Europe.
