Wayne Rooney’s famous coprolalia has referees scrambling to learn twenty English swear words which could result in a player getting booked if the word matches the ones on the list.
So the USA vs England match will not just be a physical exercise, it will be a linguistic one as well.
Extra time may have to be added as the referees look up their list for the more unfamiliar ones.
Makes you wonder, if Rooney and Co. are learning an alternate list of twenty swear words that they can safely use. After all they have to vent at the referee.
