Ahead of the likes of Kerzhakov or Baros who lead the line for their country but didn't even score?
And unlike Rooney, were actually fully match fit.
Yes, because Rooney is supposed to be a star and Kerzhakov and Barrios not.
I like the Rooney who plays for United and is a utility player. He was fantastic when there were other stars in the team. Now that he is the star of the team, i'm not so sure anymore. But somebody mentioned next season with Kagawa and yes, when he is surrounded by very good players he is outstanding. I don't think he is a natural leader.
Rooney usually disappoints with the national team (in tournaments and the last years, in 2004 he was fabulous of course), but he is still a fantastic player.
