Football, video games, math, food, other stuff.

One of the things I've really enjoyed this football season has been watching (when I can) the United trio of Fletcher, Ronaldo, and Rooney. All young (20, 19, 19), all highly talented, and all still learning. What's really interesting is how they seem to be developing together as a group. I'm not sure if it's Sir Alex's doing, but they seem to have an awareness of where each of the other two are at almost all times. Fletcher roams about the middle, and Rooney and Ronaldo have been attacking from opposite flanks, switching when neccesary, but in every game they play together one they always manage to find each other with keen passing or crossing. Perhaps Ronaldo will make a great run, then touch it back for Fletcher to cross. Or Fletcher will look up and hit a long ball for Rooney. Even better, they seem comfortable with each other, which is especially good between Rooney and Ronaldo, who could easily resent each other's fame. Anyways, with them around together, it's a very bright future for United.
