Wayne Rooney finally made his comeback from a broken foot, entering the 0-0 game against Trinidad & Tobago, a game England was supposed to have dominated, in the 57th minute. The crowd had been chanting for him since early in the first half, nearing a roar when he began warming up on the sideline.

Rooney didn’t score — Peter Crouch (83′) and Steven Gerrard (90′) did — but the second he entered the game it took on a different complexion. From that point on the ball hardly left the T&T end, and the chances got nearer and nearer until Crouch headed home a great ball in from Beckham. Good sign for England, one supposes.

Too bad Rooney himself didn’t score…it would’ve made for some pretty incredible TV.
