Rooney

[Disco down under]

Retired from international football just as Horseface von Penaltymiss tries to call him up to the England squad.

Quite surprised as I think he could have played a role at the world cup as an impact type. His days as first choice are long gone.

Where does he rank among England greats? I wish he'd played with better players, I think I may have judged him too harshly at times. Just frustrated the **** out of me by banging them in all through qualifiers and then falling flat at tournaments.

Quite admire him (edit :him b Rooney) for this and only his boyhood team will benefit -

England will have to find another non-scoring striker

 

[Tel (they/them)]

I wouldn't wanna play in any team that Southgate manages and picks players like Henderson and Sterling either.

 

[Jack TheLad]

The right time imo.

Well his wife is pregnant with their fourth so perhaps he's got other things to occupy all these meaningless international breaks which **** up the flow of each season.
Probably the right time as he's no longer first choice.
