Wayne Rooney says some ex-England players ‘can’t come to terms’ with success of Gareth Southgate’s side
Wayne Rooney says some former England internationals “can’t come to terms” with the current team’s success.It’s been a memorable 2018 for the Three Lions so far, having reached the World Cup semi-finals in the summer before impressively beating Spain in the UEFA Nations League last month.4

England had a brilliant World Cup campaign in Russia

Rooney announced his retirement from international football in August 2017, but came back to the England set-up to earn his final cap during their 3-0 win over the USA on Thursday.And the 33-year-old suggested some ex-players are jealous of what Gareth Southgate’s men are achieving.He said:“I know some ex-players I’ve spoken to can’t come to terms with England doing well.“That is wrong. I’m not like that. I’m a fan now. I want England to do well.”4

The former Manchester United and Everton man enjoyed limited success internationally despite being England’s record goalscorer.England never made it beyond the quarter-final stage at a major tournament during Rooney’s international career that started in February 2003 but he said he was happy with what he achieved in a Three Lions jersey.Rooney added: “I’m happy with what I’ve contributed to the national team and I look forward now to the next few years and watching this team progress.”“I wouldn’t say I regret never winning a trophy with England.4

“I have given everything when playing for England and I’ve tried to make us successful. Sometimes everything just isn’t enough.“I’ve had my time and it didn’t quite work out in terms of trophies.”England play Croatia in their final Nations League group match at Wembley on Sunday – a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT – kick-off 2pm. A victory will see Gareth Southgate’s men reach next summer’s finals and Rooney was upbeat about England’s “great young squad.”

REVEALED: What England need to do to go through or avoid relegation from Nation’s League group

Rooney added:“They called the team I played in the ‘golden generation’ but this team has also got superstars like Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and John Stones.“This is a great young squad with other players who can come in if there are injuries.“To win any trophy would be great for England – and hopefully this team can be the ones to bring that home.”4
