Now, I know these two may seem unlikely at first glance. They may play for the same club but how can that work. The beauty and the beast. And then there was The Incident at the WC when Rooney got sent off the pitch with a red card and the whole of England blamed Cristiano for it who allegedly asked for it. Btw, the commentators on this clip really pi** me off because Wayne Rooney admitted that he asked for a card for Cristiano just minutes before he stepped on Carvalho...
Anyway, they kissed and made up and everything is fine now. Don't believe me?
Obviously it all started before that fateful match during the WC. Back when they used to hug so very adorable...


...and goof around with the best of them...

But of course, those were they days when Ruud still played for ManU and those three liked to form pretty manpiles...



Things seemed to be a bit tense after the WC...

But when even tv chanels do romantic videos about them having to make up again...
...how could they not.
Watch them on the bus to the match against Benfica this autumn. Wayne doesn't look happy until he's sitting right beside Cristiano.


And then of course, there's this lovely scene

And even more lovely this one

Because - eep! - Wayne's actually kissing Cristiano. Right on the nape!
Wayne's even trying to show what he learned from Cristiano and Cristiano - he looks all indulgent and happy and flattered and okay, amused.
The link to youtube is here.
Also if the degree of your having a crush on a person is to be measured by how much you talk about him/her then do watch this interview with Wayne which is funny anyway. And does show a truly adorable and shy Wayne Rooney even though
Still in need of the ultimate proof? Here it is because if this isn't the most domestic and adorable pic ever...

And really it's not just me (obsessed and fangirly as I am) who is seeing it but also the lovely writer of this article at torlaune.de who says:
"And they do love eachother.
Did somebody ever claim that Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney have a problem with eachother (?) If they do then they only have the sorts of problems you have in any kind of relationship. That these two also enjoy very happy moments with eachother is clearly proven with this intimite picture." Oh yes, it is!
Edit 2: Okay, the link to this article was actually broke. Not that anyone noticed. ;) But that means that you also didn't see the following pic which

As for Rooney, I always thought he´s just a rude typical english kid but now, this whole Cristiano/Rooney thing makes me see more in him.
October 23 2006, 19:48:27 UTC 5 years ago
Can't disagree with that. Not necessarily the pathetic but the egoistical, yes. :) And nice icon you made there.

And wow, Shrek does actually look pretty good in that white shirt! And he's got nice almost violet eyes..

You do? I'm not even sure I do. No, you're right. The opposites and they're just so there.
Shrek? ROFL. Love that one!

I want Crissie and Waynie to play together again... :) Hopefully Cris'll be healthy for Wednesday's game. *thumbs up* But awww, just thinking about Cris being sick and Waynie going over to his place and them cuddling in Crissie's bed... *dreams*
^^
October 23 2006, 19:56:07 UTC 5 years ago
You are? A few? *claps her hands excitedly*
Can't really see Wayne and Cristiano cuddling like that... More like Cristiano laying on the couch whinng and moaning and wanting soup and blankets and Wayne giving his very best but burning the soup and swearing. But I guess, ultimatedly they'd be in bed together cuddling... Aaw!

ly horriblehatesex.Also, YOUR TIMING HA HA HA. I am in a very vulnerable, weakened state of mind right now and this post was the last thing I needed. Auuugh. *is disowned by her flist forever!*
October 23 2006, 20:02:50 UTC 5 years ago
No, really, I have this vision of them meeting up after the WC in training and blowing up with little things. And Gary and the other boys are holding them apart but finally they clash and it's very physical and all... Now, if I could just write that down... :(
Oh my god, what did I do? Erh, and why are you disowned? *heads over to your lj*

It certainyl seems like it. And I'm so very suprised because I was reactions like 'Uh, totally not seeing it!' and not 'Oh, bad timing. I've been thinking about them the last few days'... What can I say? There's just no resisting the Cristyne!
As am I, as am I. I just decided to accept it. After I accepted my new football-loving self everything else is easy. ROFL.

+ that sky sports video is one of the best. i was so amused that a station actually made that video, as in looked for clips to fit the lyrics and showed moments between the two of them.
+ some more pics, i guess. love their expressions in that one. they can be massive dorks without shame. or celebrate goals and wins.
+ quotes: "Cristiano: And third, I haven’t had any problem with Rooney. He is my colleague and my friend, and we continue to get along fine. As I said, after the game he congratulated me, told me that Portugal had an excellent team, he told me to carry on; in other words, I have an excellent friendly relationship with him. Everything that was said about that was a lie.
Rooney: Ronny's a good friend of mine. At Man Utd, we're usually the two youngest in the squad, so we often partner each other in training, and have a few laughs together. As we came down the tunnel and went out onto the pitch, me and Ronny had a bit of banter together. Most commentators thought Ronny was winding me up. That's because I was looking serious while he was sort of smirking and sniggering, while giving me a little poke on the back of my shoulder. But that's how I always look before going onto the pitch. I try to stay serious and focused.
What we really-talked about might come as a bit of a shock to some people - because it was so boring. Hardly worth repeating really, if so many hadn't got it all wrong. First of all, in the tunnel, we wished each other good luck in the game, hoped it went well, which is what you always say to team-mates. Okay, he wasn't in my team that day, but you still wish a fellow professional to have a good game.
What the papers didn't know, and probably will never believe, is that on the coach, on the way home after the game, I sent a text to Ronny. I told him to forget about what happened. I wasn't blaming him for interfering. Then I wished him and Portugal good luck in the semis and hoped they got to the final. And I meant it. "
+ i adore that roo calls him ronny. in the infamous WC video, he yells out ronny as he pushes him away which i find cute because he still maintains it even in his anger. and the little nudge at the end. sigh. another one i love is this glorious manpile. who's the first one to jump on top of rooney? that's right. talking about ronaldo.
October 23 2006, 22:06:43 UTC 5 years ago
+ i think roo is misunderstood. i find him to be sweet and endearing. some select quotes.
" "Some people think I'm ugly, but I don't because I've always looked like this."
Wayne likes the musicals too. The day before a big match, he loves nothing more than to sing along to Oliver! while receiving a massage, a ritual he shares with Zinedine Zidane. Or maybe not. He says: "I've ruined so many hairdryers by letting them burn out. Coleen hates it. She won't let me turn on a vacuum cleaner or a fan, not when we're together."
"I felt so ashamed that I'd let her down so much. I've always loved her and always will, so why had I done such a shameful thing? "It's my biggest single regret in life. I can never sufficiently make it up to Coleen - but I have tried and I am trying."
He says he doesn't have a particular hairstyle and has no interest in clothes.
"I don't understand those players, and there are quite a few, who turn up in the latest fashions every day. The United players have a go at me and call me a scruff." Hilariously, he tells how his teammates tease him about his choice of footwear. He said: "I get some stick in the United dressing room because I usually turn up in slippers. I have two pairs - just soft ordinary carpet slippers - one from Marks & Spencer and the other just a cheap pair with an England flag on the front bought from the market."
"They reported that, after the game, while I was still in our dressing room, I had tried to get into the Portuguese dressing room in order to hit Ronny. That's not true. By then, such a thought wasn't even going through my mind.
+ and im stopping now because i dont know how far i can go with this. haha. yay roo/ron!

Really - you know the feeling when you look at something and you breathe in air through your nose because your lips are pressed together in a smile... Yeah, it's like - being really proud. I feel so emotional, like a loving mother - or aunt for that matter - watching a kid taking its first serious steps and being admired and cheered at by relatives *sigh*
Lol. It's such an adorable post XD :D
Oh, and now I feel kind of loaded too and very in love with it all. Aw at the pics, aw at the kissing, aw at the vids and interviews. If I was able to produce any coherent thought now and to utter any productive feedback... sorry *shruggs* I hope I'll be able tomorrow. For now I'll be going to sleep and dream.

This collection of pics and clips is awesome. You are amazing(ly obsessed)!! And I am utterly convinced now: this is canon! Or if it's not canon, it's fanon to the Entire World! I couldn't believe that what you call the romantic video is actual TV; I kept thinking 'surely this is a fannish compilation' but no, argh, it seems to have been aired in The Real World! *is stunned* It's like a love ode! The world wants these two to be together! And the clip where Rooney 'learned a trick from Ronaldo' -- I just watched that three times in a row, squee squee squeee.
The Kiss on the Nape!!
November 18 2006, 14:04:51 UTC 5 years ago
In the meantime
I was thinking the same. But no, 'real' journalists put it together. And under every second Cristyne picture printed somewhere youc an read things like 'They kissed and made up' or 'Happy together again'. It's amazing.
Isn't that precious. Wayne trying that trick and Cristiano... *ded* And The Kiss on The Nape - I know!!! *dedder*
