The national team will take on USA in the World Cup from 7pm on Friday. Ahead of the match, Wayne shared a photo of himself with wife Coleen, and sons Kai, Klay, Cass, Kit at last year's Euros.

Julian said: "Rooney is the best player of all time just saying". @the_bully_pound said: "Must feel good watching as a fan instead of carrying a whole country on your back. Legend".
