ENGLAND BLANKS U.S. IN ROONEY FAREWELL » Wayne Rooney’s recordbreaking England career ended with a first: relief not to score. Whenever the striker touched the ball after coming on in the 58th minute, however far he was from goal in a 120th appearance, fans shouted “Shoot!” The best chance fell to the 33-yearold Rooney in the second minute of stoppage time against the United States at Wembley Stadium. Primed in the penalty area, Rooney turned to shoot, only to be denied by U.S. goalkeeper Brad Guzan’s low save. There was a wry smile from Rooney, whose England career ended with 53 goals.
