Rooney beat City's Lescott again after the derby in FIFA 11

After Wayne Rooney stopped playing poorly long enough to score what many people have apparently decided is The Greatest Goal Ever Scored by a Human in the History of Earth to beat Man City on Saturday, he again proved his spotty domination over his rivals and would-be teammates. No, he didn't tear their beating hearts out of their chest like that guy in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. He beat Joleon Lescott in FIFA 11 on the Xbox.

From The Mirror:

Iplayed FIFA with Wayne on the Xbox that night, said Lescott. Im all right,but Wayne beat me.

Hesbetter at it because he gets the new releases a few weeks ahead of everyoneelse because of his sponsorship deal and can practice.

Hesdecent but I think Im almost there now I think I can almost take him. Thereare quite a few of us play on the Xbox. Me, Shaun [Wright-Phillips], JamesMilner and Micah Richards.

Butits not just City players, there are 14 or 15 players in the England squad whoplay as well.

Wevegot lives away from football. Obviously weve got our families who we spendtime with, but playing on the Xbox is something we do to wind down after agame.

Well, it's nice to k! now that his practice is paying off in the video games more than it has on the pitch this season -- even if it is only because he got the game earlier than everyone else.

According to The Sun, Lescott also said that he told Rooney that his overhead winner in the derby was a "great goal" as they spoke to each other through the Xbox, which makes you wonder what kind of witty repartee footballers engage in when they have those headsets on.

And as if losing to Wayne Rooney twice in one day wasn't bad enough for Lescott, on Monday he forgot his passport as City traveled to Greece for their Europa Cup match against FC Aris this week.
