Even British people can’t understand Wayne Rooney’s accent

Wayne Rooney’s accent had Brits calling for BBC to use subtitles. 

England isn’t a big country, but it has a whole bunch of diverse accents. Manchester United star and English national team captain Wayne Rooney is from a town called Croxteth (good luck pronouncing that) and has a “Scouse accent,” which is native to northwest England, and Liverpool in particular. It’s apparently quite difficult for other Brits to understand. 

The BBC aired a documentary on Monday night called Wayne Rooney: The Man Behind the Goals, and viewers were left pleading for the broadcaster to turn on the subtitles.

Jeez, you’d think he was speaking another language.
