Twitter reacts to the wild beef between the wives of Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy

Soccer Twitter got an absolute jolt on Wednesday morning when Coleen Rooney, the wife of D.C. United attacker and England legend Wayne Rooney, posted a long note to her public Twitter account.

The note detailed how private details of her life had been shared with the English tabloid The Sun, and how she was confused because the details were from her private Instagram account, which only has a few followers.

So, Rooney did what any good detective would do: She had a hunch on who it was, so she created fake stories, and then only limited the stories to only being viewable by one person. Those stories then ended up in The Sun. Rooney had her perp: ….And it was Rebekah Vardy, the wife of Wayne Rooney’s England teammate, Jamie Vardy.

Here’s Rooney’s first post, which is one of the best things I’ve ever read in my life. It’s like a perfect, short, detective story:

And then here’s the response from Rebekah Vardy, who basically claimed that other people use her social media accounts, and also how dare you be mean to me.

Soccer fans on Twitter went bananas. It was a MORNING, y’all. I have been laughing since six a.m.

Here are some of the highlights:

Go out there and attack the day like Coleen Rooney attacked the mysterious case of The Sun leaker.
