PICTURES: New York Red Bulls fans taunt Wayne Rooney with cruel tifo
ByTNT Sports
If Wayne Rooney thought his status in the game would earn him some respect in America, he would have been thinking again on Sunday night.
England's all-time record goalscorer was playing for DC United away at New York Red Bulls in MLS - a match that his side went on to lose 1-0.
But it was events before the game which would have left Rooney unhappy.
The Red Bulls fans unveiled a tifo which replaced the eagle's head in the DC United with Rooney's head.
And the caption, 'bald eagles: an endangered species' left little to the imagination.
Which seems a bit harsh: after all, Rooney has spent a fair sum on rebuilding his hairline and it's looking in quite decent shape at the moment.
