Can Rooney find the net?
Wayne Rooney says there there is no need to panic over his lack of goals in an England shirt, but there is no sign of the drought coming to an end as the team prepares for tomorrow’s crucial 2010 World Cup qualifier away to Croatia in Zagreb.
With Michael Owen deemed unfit by Fabio Capello, there is even more pressure on Rooney to deliver in front of goal, something he has failed to do for his country on a regular basis since dazzling at Euro 2004.
Rooney has played 17 competitive matches since that tournament in Portugal four years ago and he has scored just twice, while including friendlies the record is only slightly better with five goals in 28 outings.
So tomorrow would be the perfect time for him to improve those sorry statistics in such a huge fixture! BetUK are offering 7/1 about the Manchester United being the first to find the net in the all-important clash.
