Scores his first World Cup goal in Brazil 2014
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.
