Wayne Rooney has been criticized on multiple occasions for his temperament which is fiery and volatile at times. The World Cup in 2006 brought another forgettable moment in Wayne Rooney's international career as he publicly slated the England fans on camera as they booed the team off after a draw with Algeria in the group stages.

England performed pretty poorly and failed to make any impact in the final third of the pitch and as it usually happens with England and it's fans criticism from the fans isn't far behind. But this occasion got the better of the England striker as he was heard saying to the camera “Nice to see your home fans booing you. That’s loyal supporters.” as he walked off the pitch. Fans soon turned on their favorite striker after the incident, for which Wayne later apologized.
