As much as i would like it credited to him as its always nice to have nice goal to game ratio's for our strikers it is absolutely ludicrous to even attempt ot credit that to him! it was the difinitive own goal! you don't get any more significant own goal than turning a ball going directly forward 180 degrees around into your own goal. there is absolutely noway on earth UEFA will credit it to him, just because it makes the papers story better.
You look at goals like Tuidor's OGGY, it was an OGGY but it wasa minimal deflection which infairness just turned in a shot that was going in. Thats what an own goal is a goal that would not have occured with out contact with opposition player which usually was unlikely to go in otherwise. Rooney's was travelling in the opposite direction from the goal.
Great game from Rooney but he won't get the credit.

It was a nice little bendy shot though, you can't deny that. Though it wasn't his goal, no way.
That Zidane cross wasn't going in =P
I do agree with giving the English goal as an OG though, because as you said, it blatantly turned 180 degrees from the goalkeeper back into the net.
As the Goalie said; s**t happens ;)
