It didn’t matter all that much during Wednesday’s match between DC United and Toronto FC. The shooter was Wayne Rooney, and he curled a fireball around the wall and inside the near post.
The amount of spin on the ball is out-of-this-world, as Rooney and DC aim to gain a four-point advantage over seventh place Montreal with two matches to play.
It’s Rooney’s 10th MLS goal in 18 games. He’s also posted six assists in leading United up the table.
Wayne. Freaking. Rooney. 😱
