England coach Roy Hodgson denies Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney has failed to deliver on the international stage.
Hodgson said Rooney's progress with England had been "steady" since he scored four goals in Euro 2004, but rejected the claim he had under-achieved because he has not won anything with the national side.
"What you have to take into account with Wayne is that he is going to have played 100 games at the age of 29," Hodgson said.
"He is the top goal scorer in the English team and he is only a few goals (six) away from Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time record.
"I think that has got to be a better measure of his success."
