No chance. You have more chance of Barkley or Sterling lashing out.
Rooney has matured on this side of his game.
I would be delighted if Uruguay focused on Rooney to be honest, because it would be a total waste of their time and leave out other attacking players to run riot. Of course this will lead to Rooney being criticised left and right again.
