Rooney

If Rooney didnt have (Or used to have) a discipline problem and also some injury issues, he should have had more.

Agree was about to say same....

Podolski is automatically rubbish now and a bottler

Podolski is 27 and has 98 caps

Rooney

ronaldo has 90s too

i dont remember him playing once for England......

I think it's quite an acheivement considering we get knocked out of the major tournaments nice and early, and didn't even get to Euro 2008 to play a single game.

I'm not sure missing Euro2008 made that much of a difference to the number of England games played TBH... I seem to remember teams that had qualified used us as friendly opponents in their warm-ups - that probably compensated for the 3 games we would have played in 08 before being sent home early.

The thing to also remember is had Ron Greenwood not been terminally indecisive about whether Shilton or Clemence was number one, one or the other of them would have exceeded the current record by rather a lot of caps.

The other thing to remember is that in the old days you were allowed 1 substitute.

Nowadays in some friendlies just about the whole team gets changed during the course of the match, so something like 17~22 caps are being handed out per match, while back in (say) the days of Bobby Moore and Bobby Charleton it would only have been 11~12 caps per match. That's why the modern footballers dominate the caps league tables.

ok but how many international goals has he got in that time?????

is far as i know he has a terrible strike record for England... has probably been booked/sent off more times than he has scored.

IMO he is very overrated as a striker.

Rooney has an excellent strike rate for England, new some bitter numpty would try and say he's overrate blah blah doesn't score enough blah blah well it's very good so you look like a prize tool
