Wayne Rooney Risking Himself

Manchester United's red hot striker is risking his own future by playing for England last Wednesday in a not-so-meaningful friendly against Egypt. Wayne Rooney has been carrying the niggling injury for some times, and England FA should know better than anyone else that this is a priceless property England possess and is their main weapon during this summer's World Cup in South Africa.

I couldn't understand why Fabio Capello allowed Wayne to played almost the full match when his ability, involvement and commitment is beyond doubt. Why is Wayne still play until 86th minutes of the game before being substituted?

What if Wayne Rooney's injury worsen due to the plays he involved, and that he miss the summer World Cup? Whose's lost will this be and who'll be the biggest loser in this? England and Manchester United will be the biggest loser in this because first Man Utd's chance of retaining EPL title as well as Champions' League challenges will be hindered by the absent of Rooney, who scored most of their goals.

Whereas England will lose a world class forward as well as a main threat to all other teams in the tournament just because they wants to see Rooney in action in a meaningless friendlies? I wonder whether it's the FA that wants Wayne to play throughout the games, or is it because there's a sponsorship deals insisting Wayne Rooney to play as long as he can?

I still think the sponsorship thingy is a more possibility than any others because anyone in the England knows what importance Wayne Rooney is for the whole England team and I think Sir Alex Ferguson isn't like this very much either...
