Maybe the difference in popularity has something to do with good looks? Beckham was kind of a star outside the pitch also.
Ps. By the way. I saw that Rooney has signed up for Derby County and will travel back home (England) in January next year. Ds.

That’s exactly the reason David Beckham is a good looking guy whilst Wayne Rooney resembles a potato.

rooney overrated, yes he got loads of caps and goals, but its not a fair comparison as in the 60,s and 70,s england caps were harder to earn, fewer games, harder qualifiers, fewer teams competing in world cups and euros and fewer easy qualifiers as yugoslavia and the soviet union was all the one and not broken into about 25 different smaller nations.
beckham was decent but overrated, he got token caps, given out for nothing just to get him nearer to bobby moores record who earned his and had to play 90 minutes per game to get his while beckham got his last 4 caps in meaningless friendlies having played 30 minutes between them all.
english media tends to find a player, promote him, overrate him, then follow him about till he does something wrong then criticise him till he cracks. never a happy medium with the media. they even promoted the fact david beckham was the only one who could take a free kick,

You should google Nobby Stiles then. He won the World Cup for your team and made Wayne Rooney look like Brad Pitt . But he knew how to tackle, not win beauty contests .

Rooney peaked around 2012. He’s still too good for the MLS, however. Looking forward to seeing how he does at Derby County from next January. The Chsmpionship is a tough league.

He'll be their playing manager?
