    We're asking if you rate Wayne Rooney as an England great...

    Will Pedley:, external One man doesn't make a team, which is a shame because 11 Rooneys would have changed England's fortunes over the years.

    The Big Valbowski:, external You'll miss him when he's gone.

    Goals are still in short supply but Sheffield United are leading 1-0 in their South Yorkshire derby with Doncaster, despite being down to 10 men.

    Defender Paddy McCarthy was sent off for bringing down Nathan Tyson but Harry Forrester's penalty was saved by Mark Howard and Jamie Murphy struck for the Blades just two minutes later.

    Strugglers Gillingham and Leyton Orient have managed three between them at the Priestfield Stadium where the Gills have come from behind to lead 2-1.

    Gianvito Plasmati put the O's in front from the penalty spot but a double from Leon Legge has revived the Gills' hopes of a first win in nine league games.

    Port Vale lead Rochdale 1-0 thanks to a third goal of the season from veteran midfielder Michael Brown, 37.

    Wayne Rooney has 43 goals for England. One World Cup goal, five in European Championship finals. Nine in Euro qualifiers, 16 in World Cup qualifiers and 12 in friendlies.

    An even spread? Or should he have more in the 'big' games?

    Brockerz:, external Wouldn't call Rooney an England legend or even great, just the best we've had for the past 10 or so years, which is kind of sad.

    William:, external The critique of Wayne Rooney is absolutely ridiculous. Top-class player for club and country.

    Rooney goals comparison

    Wayne Rooney is currently England's fourth highest goalscorer, on 43 goals. One more will see him level Jimmy Greaves's haul, and then just MOTD presenter Gary Lineker and Sir Bobby Charlton will be in front of him.

    Adil Ahmed: The fact that Rooney's greatness is up for debate says it all. Never performed when it mattered. Even my gran can score vs Macedonia and the Faroe Islands!

    Clearly, you don't score 43 international goals and win 100 caps without being an excellent player.

    But given the impact made by Wayne Rooney when he was still a teenager, there is the nagging feeling that his England career has been a disappointment.

    Former England striker Alan Shearer says: "I think the word 'great' is used maybe too many times nowadays but you can't argue with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are great.

    "I wouldn't put Wayne in that bracket - very good, yes. But if you are using those two as great players I don't think he's at that level."

    BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Wembley

    "England manager Roy Hodgson has just been out at Wembley giving the pitch a very close inspection, along with assistant Gary Neville.

    "As well as that dark patch around the centre circle, there are still some NFL markings that can be seen near the touchline and around the perimeter - not sure what the Wembley traditionalists will make of that."

    June 2004: Arguably the high point. The 18-year-old is sensational at Euro 2004, scoring four times in four games before injuring himself in the quarter-final defeat by Portugal.
