Time to map out a plan for Villa's future
- Says blogger Matthew Turvey
He may have been recently nominated for the Ballon D’Or, but it seems unlikely that Wayne Rooney will be put up for an Oscar any time soon if this acting performance is to go by.
Poor old Wayne manages to play an even more monotonal version of himself in this commercial for Casillero del Diablo, as he warns of a devil coming to Old Trafford.
“They say…he is a legend” mutters Wayne to teammates Patrice Evra and Ryan Giggs, who unsurprisingly given his recent behaviour showed himself to be the most convincing actor of the group.
Still, it isn’t the most embarrassing commercial that a group of footballers have been involved in recently. No, that honour has to go to the poor lads at Blackburn Rovers and their unlikely pre-match Venky’s chicken snack.
Rumours that this advert helped them sign Yakubu are unfounded.
