Yes he did. But credit where credit is due. Congrats Waza!
People will continuously underestimate this man, but he has been such a huge part of the sport I love, from his first goal as a Toffee vs Arseholes, to his first goal w/ man utd vs arseholes, to now.
Rooney to become the top scorer at united, a pedestal he deserves.
credit where credit is due. i absolutely agree. rooney certainly had a great impact on the english national team and this record is a huge milestone in english football history for sure. back in the day he was one of the best strikers in the world and i don't think it's off to call him a legend - and personally, i'm not a fan of calling just every good player who put in some work for a club or a country a "legend" right away. a shame for england he couldn't lead his country to a title or anywhere close.
the only thing i don't agree on is that he's underestimated or -rated. in england, it's more like the opposite but ok, maybe you're talking about this forum and you know: here, you're only as good as the last season you played - and some people even hate so much, they wouldn't admit a player / club / country is class even if he / it broke every record / performed even better / won every title their own "legends" could only dream of...
