Phenomenon!

Imagine being the poster boy of an entire nation since the day you wear your national colors...
Imagine being the saviour of your club, well on n number of times...
Imagine being The Only Hope (as some pundits call him) for the poms...
Imagine people like cantona, pele, cryuff, beckenbauer, and di stefano predicting that he could be THE best ever (not counting the peers, for a change)...
& imagine being down in the dumps for such a long period that almost all the points mentioned above____Reverse!!!
Logic tells you that something must have gone seriously wrong with the Phenomenon: Wayne Rooney. After being placed right up there with people we have, let alone watch, not even read of; the sudden slump in the form (Read GOALS) stretching from the WC '06 to the middle of the EPL 06-07 season, was nothing short of a catastrophe...

I, honestly, and i know many lesser mortals out there would have not been able to stand - being placed on the stars to right down the stinkiest gutter that
there is, but that is precisely what this guy has done...
okay, by now you would have understood that i'm a soccer freak...
& in the 12 yrs of my soccer connection, i have never seen someone who's so out of form that you sometimes want to go out there and help him shoot a ball ...
the catch, in this case is that i have never seen anyone run, fight, persist so hard that you literally blast your lungs out (u'll understand if you've ever played the sport in your life), and keep putting in the same effort, if not more, in each and every
match that you play... & to tell you that he bounced back real hard is no rocket science...
Well he bounced alright...
Came back with a brace and has now constantly started finding the back of that bloody net...
People reverted and so did those points mentioned above (re-re-reverted that is, for keeps hopefully)...

Moral of the story:
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce...
& in my opinion,, this guy is this quote personified...

(PS: could've added some more,, but gotta go and try out a first touch which he displayed against those blue-bozos: chelsea, last week)...
ciao ciao...
will come back soon...
