In May 2016, Rooney was included by Roy Hodgson in the extended list of the England national team's bid to play at the European Championship in France as a striker[256].
However, the inclusion of Wayne in the list of forwards was met by football experts in different ways: Alan Shearer in an interview with the BBC said that Rooney should give way to Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy in the attack[257], while Sky Sports expert Paul Scholes indicated that Wayne should be in the starting line up as an attacking midfielder or a drawn forward[258].
The public also perceived the inclusion of Rooney in the national team ambiguously because of Wayne's ineffective season at Manchester United[259], but Sky Sports expert Thierry Henry said that Rooney's presence in the team is necessary because of his authority and experience, which will help young players cope with pressure at a crucial moment[260].
The captain of the national team himself said that he was proud to play for his country and he would like to win trophies with England[261], and regarding his position on the field, according to journalists, he asked head coach Roy Hodgson to use him as a central or defensive midfielder[262].
At the championship itself, Rooney was the captain of the national team and was considered one of its leaders, but he failed to demonstrate his best game, distinguishing himself only once in the match of the 1/8 finals, hitting the goal of Iceland from the penalty spot.
The British lost the match with a score of 1: 2 and left the tournament.
