LONDON -- Wayne Rooney faced a highly unusual public rebuke from the England leadership on Thursday over his late-night revelry at the team hotel. Dedryck Boyata Belgium Jersey .The English Football Association believes Rooney wasnt living up to his responsibilities as captain of the national team after being pictured on Saturday night bleary-eyed at a wedding reception at the hotel.Rooneys future as captain was already under scrutiny, as he was no longer guaranteed of his starting spot for England or Manchester United.Although the 31-year-old striker was off-duty at the time of the hotel incident, the FAs unhappiness with the conduct of the teams figurehead could harm his prospects of retaining the armband.Its disappointing, FA chief executive Martin Glenn said outside a meeting of Premier League team executives in London. Its appropriate that he apologized because it doesnt set a great tone for the England captain.Glenn said he doesnt want to over-dramatize the incident but it will lead to new rules for players about how they can spend nights off while away with England. The FA is also investigating whether members of the England backroom staff were with Rooney when he dropped in on a wedding reception at the team hotel north of London.Why on earth you would be doing that, given there is an understanding, a team agreement around alcohol consumption during camp, Glenn said. So there would be questions asked for sure.The incident on the day after Fridays win over Scotland is a blot on Rooneys character after the United captain was thought to have curbed his previously erratic behavior on and off the field.It has sparked a fresh wave of negative publicity for England in a year that saw the team eliminated from the European Championship in the round of 16 and Sam Allardyce forced out of the managers job for unguarded comments to undercover reporters posing as businessmen.Rooney was quick to apologize in public and privately to England interim manager Gareth Southgate, who is waiting to discover whether he will be handed the job permanently. Southgate previously said Rooney missed Tuesdays friendly with Spain through injury rather than as punishment for his late-night antics.Rooney, who began his career at Everton, received backing from an unlikely source: Liverpool.These boys, this generation, is the most professional generation of footballers -- not only in England, but (the) England (team), too, that there has ever been, Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said. All the legends we love and admire, they drank like devils and smoked like crazy, but they were still good players. No one does it any more. I dont know anyone now.We had a Christmas party and I had to fill peoples glasses. Its about timing. When you are in the wrong time at the wrong place its not good as a professional. I have no idea where Wayne was, but Im pretty sure its not really serious.Rooneys trouble stemmed from the fact he posed for pictures wearing his England training gear in the early hours to please fans attending the wedding. Those images were then handed to The Sun newspaper which splashed them across the front page.Englands well-paid stars have also been criticized for living closeted lives away from fans, and Burnley manager Shaun Dyche believes the Rooney incident shows why players are unapproachable.

NEW YORK -- Colorado had to rebound from its first loss of the season and the Buffaloes did by rebounding.George King had 12 points and 13 rebounds to lead Colorado to a 68-54 victory over No. 22 Texas on Tuesday in the third-place game of the Legends Classic at Barclays Center.King, who matched his career high for rebounds which he set on Monday, led the big rebounding game for the Buffaloes (4-1), who finished with a 41-32 advantage on the boards including 17-12 on the offensive glass. Colorado scored 18 second-chance points.Huge, Colorado coach Tad Boyle said of his teams rebounding. Thats really where you find out where the toughness comes from. Thats the stat that just shows up. Every game that we have youre either plus or youre minus. Last night Notre Dame outrebounded us. Today we outrebounded Texas by nine and thats a big number. We want plus eight, thats our goal and we hit it.And it was King who led the charge to the boards.George, the second half last night and tonight, he played (like) the light bulb was maybe coming on for him, Boyle said. He was terrific on the boards but I thought our whole team was.Derrick White had 16 points for Colorado, which lost 89-83 to Notre Dame in the semifinals, while Josh Fortune had 11.We needed that one, Boyle said. Its crazy to think in November you feel its a must win but thats how I felt approaching this game today for our team in terms of what it meant for down the road. You come to a place like this, you dont want to go home 0-2.Kerwin Roach Jr. led Texas (3-2) with 16 points and Jarrett Allen had 15.Colorado, despite giving up size on the inside, used offensive rebounding to take a 33-24 halftime lead. Led by King, a 6-foot-6 junior, the Buffaloes were up 16-2 at one point on the offensive glass and Texas had no answer.The Longhorns, who lost to Northwestern 77-58 in the semifinals, used full court pressure to force turnovers and they were within 54-51 with 5:12 left on two free throws by Allen.But Colorado went on an 11-2 run that was capped by -- what else? -- an offensive rebound by Wesley Gordon to match their biggest lead to that points.King said hes concentrating on rebounding.Absolutely. Im long, atthletic, he said. Michy Batshuayi Belgium Jersey. Why not use it because Im not going to have it forever.Texas was 3 for 17 from 3-point range while the Buffaloes made 6 of 14 from beyond the arc.I think for our guys, you never want to lose and you never feel good about losing, Texas coach Shaka Smart said. Theyre certainly down. I think anyone in our program is disappointed but Ill tell you what if you cant have a clear mind for what goes into what we need to do next, then youre in the wrong locker room. I think this has gotten our guys attention from the standpoint of some of the things we preach as coaches all the time, which is you have to have a level of humility in your preparation to understand what you have to do to take away what other teams are trying to do.Sometimes experience is the best teacher and unfortunately these two games we experienced here in New York, theyre tough pills to swallow. But if we can learn a lesson from them they can help us as we move forward.BIG PICTURE:Texas: The Longhorns will have to decide on which point guard will run the offense and they will have to work on the inside rotation. After averaging over 80 points a game in their first three, the Longhorns averaged 56 points per game in the tournament.Colorado: The Buffaloes have a deep roster and coach Tad Boyle has kept everyones minutes close with nobody averaging more than 28.5 minutes.POLL IMPLICATIONS:With the two losses in the Legends Classic Texas will almost certainly drop out of the Top 25. The Longhorns can still make a run at being ranked with all the Big 12 games to come.OLD FOES:Texas leads the all-time series with Colorado 14-10. The two were both in the Big 12 until Colorado left for the Pac-12.TURNING IT OVER: Texas had 11 turnovers and just four assists against Colorado. That leaves their assist-to-turnover ratio for the season at 51-56.UP NEXT:Texas: The Longhorns face Texas-Arlington at home on Tuesday and then host Alabama on Dec. 2.Colorado: The Buffaloes head back to Boulder for games with Wofford and Colorado State on Nov. 27 and Nov. 30.
