“It is a very special night for him and I know there are many supporters who want to pay thanks.”David Sarachan (USA):I think a player like Wayne Rooney who had such a terrific international career, in the league but in terms of his national team, to have an opportunity to reward him for that as a federation, I kind of applaud that.I dont think it devalues the game. I would think different if Wayne had retired from football three years ago and they said, Hey, why dont you just jump in, but he is coming off the back of a very impactful season in the States.
