Wayne Rooney is [pleased he is getting fitter and he hopes this will help him have an impact on the World Cup.

"It was difficult being up front on my own but there was a lot of support from the midfield players and it worked for me. Overall I thought it was a decent performance.

"Over the last 30 minutes I felt better than the first 60 so it's a positive thing for me. Hopefully that can help me for the next game.

"I think I have done well in the two games I have played in. All I have missed has been a goal but hopefully that can come."
