Why would Rooney retire? As this tournament showed he's still one of England's better players, and that's obviously not meant to be a good thing so much as a sign England still have a ways to go. Pretty much all the strikers were average at best, no one in the midfield really threatens much either. It's not really about catering to Rooney, it's more that realistically who is better? That would be England's problem.

Kane in particular was just not very good in the tournament. I know there's been excuses thrown around trying to defend him but at the end of the day he basically had no meaningful impact at all in the tournament. Lallana had more impact. Hindsight obviously is nice but Roy really needed to give Rashford more chances, especially tonight only bringing him on with minutes to play. Bring him on at halftime and I bet England scores that tie goal. He and Vardy were the only two giving a #### tonight.
