His goals to games ratio is pretty good but yeah, I suspect some analysis of who he's scored against will show his record up. He's nowhere near an all time great even in English football.

The fact that only six of his strikes have come at major tournaments is arguably Rooney’s biggest failure in England colours. He has five in six appearances at European Championship finals but only one in 11 games at World Cup finals. Lineker managed six at Mexico 1986 alone.Originally Posted by Letters
It is also worth noting the quality of opposition against which Rooney has scored. Facing no country has he scored more England goals than San Marino (four), while Kazakhstan (three), Andorra (two) and Belarus (two) are close behind.
World Cup finals
Wayne Rooney: 11 (1); 1 goal every 11 games
Bobby Charlton: 14 (4); 1 goal every 3.5 games
I posted up all his international goals and the opponents he scored against in another thread. Tragic stuff. He's the most overrated striker in history. But the worst thing about him, he's also one of the biggest cheats. He's cheated throughout his career, even last week he was cheating in the penalty box. He disgraces every shirt he wears, but because he's a GHEL the media won't hold him to account.
Mind you, remember that time Pires dived and prevented Portsmouth winning the Nobel peace prize?

He has been a great player at club level but like so many others a bit of a dud when it comes to England.
Still, he's going to be a record goal scorer for club and country when he retires, fair play I say.
Fuck him, I say, Fat cheating cunt.

Agree with every word.
Wales vs Israel at 5pm.
Wales qualify with a win.
Papers are saying Wales would be 4th in the rankings if they win today. #likeatrophyLOLOLOL
What the fuck is this shit? Almost as meaningless as the premier league table.
Holland are on the brink of failing to qualify.
Wales 0-0 Israel, FT so they have not qualified yet.
