da bet7k: Wayne Rooney’s announcement that he has retired from international football dominated the headlines on Wednesday.Many figures within the world of football, as well as fans, paid tribute to the striker, who bows out as the country’s leading goalscorer.However, there were some who chose to criticise Rooney’s international career, pointing to the fact that he did not win a single honour with England.Gary Lineker, who scored 48 goals for the Three Lions in 80 appearances, decided to hit out at the negative views and suggested that those who criticised Rooney’s career were clueless.
The 31-year-old, who now plays for boyhood club Everton after leaving Manchester United earlier this summer, may not have won any trophies on the international stage, but he did break records.
Rooney became England’s leading scorer when he nabbed 53 last year, and he retires as the second-most capped player on 119 appearances – Peter Shilton takes the title with 125.
The striker made a huge impression on a global scale as a teenager when he played at Euro 2004, and if it were not for a handful of injuries, Rooney could have been more influential in later tournaments.
The forward will now focus solely on prolonging his club career at Everton.
