I do not like to see anyone disrespect their National Anthem and I just cant understand the reasoning behind it.

BUT Wayne Rooney is an excellent player who is also going through a bad phase for his own Club.. It happens.

As for the remarks about his looks, or lack of them, well not everybody is gifted with the face and body of a Beckham or even Ronaldo.

As for the huge amount of money that footballers earn, what should they do? Turn it down? I don't think so.

Surprising what you find when surfing the net...ooops no pun intended lol..

England players donate all their pay for international matches to charity causes via the Team England Footballers Charity, which in 2009 was raising awareness about bowel cancer.

I for one didn't know that.

Linda, neither did I.
Well done lads.
It has sort of renewed my faith in them.
As for the origins of the wages they get..... the fans pay them!
Ever time you buy a ticket to a match, every football strip you buy
for your child, every top you buy for yourself.... you are paying their wages.
And BOY... are you fans spending.
Did it myself for one of my sons, years ago.

Sorry for being late... Had PC problems.
