Rooney's England goals. From Wiki.

Rooney never scored an international hat-trick, although he has scored twice in a match on ten occasions. He scored more times against San Marino than any other team, with five goals against them.

The majority of Rooney's goals came in qualifying matches. He scored 16 in World Cup qualifiers, including 9 during the 2010 World Cup qualification round where he finished as the second-equal top scorer, alongside Bosnia and Herzegovina's Edin Džeko and one behind Greece's Theofanis Gekas. Rooney has also scored 14 times in European Championship qualifiers. He scored four times in Euro 2004, ending the tournament as the second-equal top scorer alongside the Netherlands' Ruud van Nistelrooy and one behind the Czech Republic's Milan Baroš. He has only scored once in the World Cup finals, in a 2–1 loss to Uruguay in the 2014 tournament. The remainder of Rooney's goals, 16, came in friendlies.


So in the most important matches, the finals of Euro and the World Cup, over twelve years, he managed just seven goals, and four of those came in a single tournament. Not quite so impressive now, is it...
