Wayne Rooney reveals England delight

Rooney reveals England delight

Wayne Rooney has spoken of the delight inside the England camp following their qualification to the World Cup.

The Three Lions booked their place in Brazil next summer with a 2-0 win over Poland on Tuesday evening, and Rooney said that the players were pleased to see their efforts rewarded.

"It's great, and we're obviously all delighted," Rooney told Sky Sports News.

"We've qualified and it's been a good campaign, obviously unbeaten in 10 games and we've played some really good stuff. The last two games were pressure games, we needed the six points [against Poland and Montenegro] and we dealt with that quite well.

"It's been enjoyable for everyone watching [tonight], and we got the six points, so we're really pleased."

Rooney finished as England's top scorer in the campaign, with seven strikes in six games.
