[Wayne Rooney] has to be viewed as a great England striker if he breaks Sir Bobby Charlton's record. Scoring goals at international level is much more difficult than it was a few years back because even the lesser teams are well organised and don't concede too many goals these days.

I wouldn't change my life for the world at the moment.

There have been more things wrong with England than just Wayne Rooney in the last few years.

Bayern Munich are probably the standout team on the planet.

Clubs don't like their players going off to play international matches and you can see a scenario where they eventually start to make it more difficult for international sides to call up players.

You always come back to earth with a thump at some stage. Life has it's ups and downs; the acid test is how you handle the downs.

I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.
