Messi quits Rooney doesn't.

Plenty mid 30s players at Euros, Rooney should be available for selction for England and selected and play only if he's good enough, end of. This modern thing of announcing international retirement before your finish playing club football is a little bizarre as is the public deciding once you're 30+ you should be overlooked.
You're a long time dead so it should be pulling on the strip of your country is something you'd always want to do for as long as you possibly could. Maybe he moves to a deeper midfield role in time, don't waste him though, wish Scotland had someone half as good as Rooney to pick.

Only in Qualifiers and Friendlies, when it comes to European/WC Finals he goes missing, along with the rest of the England team.

That's why I said decent,but he is the all time top goal scorer.

Regardless of his age his form doesnt warrant a place in the team. He doesnt merit a place in central midfield as he didnt do anything that a proper CM would have done and he certainly doesnt merit a place up front. His age is irrelevant, he just doesnt look good enough at international level any more.
