Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney says there is “excitement” about England again following the 4-0 win against Lithuania on Friday, a result which sees the ThreeLions top Group E with 15 points from five games. Rooney, who scored the opener of Friday, is now just two goals shy of Sir Bobby Charlton’s all-time record of 49 strikes for England.Tottenham striker Harry Kane also scored England’s fourth on what was his international debut.
Alas, England’s success comes outside the World Cup.
