We were the best team in the most recent European Championship. We lost to Italy because we took 3 stutter step penalty kicks in a row and threw it away.

Agreed, definitely underrated by some. Catches some flack I guess for being the talisman of Manchester United and many people not liking the club. Rooney is 3rd all time in Premier League goals and 3rd all time in assists (although will he surpassed by De Bruyne imminently) - to be top 5 in both is one hell of an achievement.

His prime playing for England was difficult, if you look at the quality of his teammates back then compared to them depth of talent someone like Kane is supported with now, it makes sense.
