Real or not, Rooney is a beast and could probably do it anyway.

I’ll go ahead and agree with Marcello here. Probably took at least a few tries. Though that swoosh is quite suspicious.

Can we petition Nike to ban all close ups of Rooney’s face in future commercials? That’d be peaches.

I dont doubt that he can do it, but on the first try? Maybe.

Filmed at the Nike complex in Beaverton, Oregon? Might explain why Rooney was spotted in an Irish pub in Portland a month or so ago…

The only thing that is fake about this is the target he paints on the lens. Reflections of the sun on the lens reveal that Rooney only had to paint along a path that some well qualified Art Director put there. Or it’s the remnants of Rooney’s own art he painted for previous takes, who knows.

It’s very good digital, but its digital. Cool commercial, though.

Next World Cup England needs to make sure that they paint targets on the goal for Roo.

It’s real, of course. Not only is he that accurate, he also made the ball rotate just perfectly so that the swoosh on the ball is what actually hits the camera lens.
