I just don't think that Rooney is that great at International level against the top teams. We can get through the groups ok but we struggle against the best.
We have bright exciting younger players in Sterling, Sturridge, Barkley, Oxlade-Chamberlain & Walcott. Rooney is good but somehow I can see him getting in the way of the progress of players that might take a tournament by storm.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
