Rooney has always been synonymous with goals, but surprisingly even after two World Cups his goal tally was zero at the biggest competition on earth.

He was in prolific goal-scoring form leading up to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil as he ended the qualification campaign as England's top scorer with 7 goals.

But even when the moment finally came, it was marred by an overall disappointment as the Three Lions were handed a big blow in qualifying from the group stages.

Rooney scored his first and only World Cup goal in a 2-1 loss to Uruguay in the group stages as he scored a 75th minute equalizer. England were eventually knocked out of the group stages which ended a poor World Cup campaign in Brazil.
