Okay, okay. This isn't a Cup Final, it doesn't clinch the Playoff spot, it's possibly not the greatest goal ever scored in MLS. However, this may be the most amazing EFFORT I've ever seen in MLS, maybe in American Sports.
In case you're unfamiliar, Rooney is a Legendary English Footballer whom, for lack of a better term was deemed "washed up" in the Premier League. Add to that, the stigma of Major League Soccer being perceived a "retirement league" where the world's greatest careers go to end quietly. On top of that, DC United is having one of the worst seasons in MLS.
This video slaps all of that in the face and potentially sets the progressive tone for not only himself and his club but, perhaps the overall perception of American Soccer.
The whole world took notice of this one and rightly so.

Since the beginning, there have been those who disagree and every time something great happens on these shores are quick to dismiss this nation as relevant in World Football. I'm sure they're still out there, maybe even right here.
What do you think? Does this change anything? Everything?
