Rooney naps through World Cup draw

Wayne Rooney was one of the last people in England to discover which group the country had been drawn in for next year’s World Cup, after falling asleep during Friday’s announcement. England will play USA, Algeria and Slovenia in the group stage of the 2010 finals in South Africa. Rooney, however, missed the draw, admitting he fell asleep in his hotel room after Manchester United’s train journey to London on Friday. "We got the train down and we were in the hotel about five o’clock, when I lay down on my bed to watch the TV. But I fell asleep and didn’t find out what the draw was until five hours later." But he did concede that the draw was kind to England. "It was a good draw," he added.
