In his defense of Thursday night’s ‘Wayne Rooney Foundation International,” the new moniker for the England-USA friendly, Three Lions Manager Gareth Southgate described Rooney as someone who “has often been undervalued in terms of how well he played for England.”
The all time leading scorer in an England shirt, Wayne Rooney retired from international football in 2017, but he’ll reactivate for Three Lions just this one time, and collect his 120th cap. After this match, Wazza’s England career will exist only in memorabilia, football posters, footage of past games and in the memory banks of supporters.
