WAYNE ROONEY claims his England team were disappointed with Wales’ antics at Euro 2016.
Aaron Ramsey led Welsh celebrations after England lost 2-1 to minnows Iceland.
Roo said: “For some of the lads who have club team-mates jumping around to celebrate their team-mates’ failure was a bit disappointing — for some of them.
“Not taken aback, I think a bit disappointed.”
Arsenal midfielder Ramsey, Spurs defender Ben Davies, and former Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen all play club football alongside some of Roy Hodgson’s flops.
But a video, which was leaked online, showed Chris Coleman’s Welsh squad watching the match in the team hotel.
And they appeared to thoroughly enjoy the Three Lions crashing out at the last-16 stage.
Rooney added: “Personally I wasn’t too fussed about the celebrations.
“I said before that during the tournament I’m not fussed what Wales or Ireland do in the tournament.”
Asked about his reaction to Wales’ semi-final loss to Portugal, the England skipper added: “Again I wasn’t fussed.
“During that period I probably would have wanted them to go on and win it, as I would rather a British team win it.
“But I didn’t lose any sleep when they got knocked out.”
