Wayne Rooney is under pressure and facing the biggest challenge of his 93-cap England career. There are four attacking positions in Roy Hodgson’s team and it is beyond dispute that Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling are now automatic names. Rooney had that security once but he is now vying with Ross Barkley, Adam Lallana, Danny Welbeck and James Milner for the other two spots. Time to perform: Wayne Rooney must produce a good display in England's second World Cup game against Uruguay to remind us of his class Night of frustration: Though Rooney set up England's goal, scored by Daniel Sturridge, he struggled to contain Italy's Matteo Darmian and Antonio Candreva
