shearer did not score in england's opening 3–2 defeat against portugal, but did so as england defeated germany 1–0 in charleroi, ensuring that england beat their european neighbours for the first time since the 1966 world cup final. to remain in the tournament, england only required a draw against romania in the final group match, and shearer scored a penalty as england went in at half-time 2–1 up, but romania ultimately won 3–2. england's tournament was over, and so was shearer's international career. from his 63 caps, he captained the team 34 times and scored thirty goals; he is ranked joint-sixth in the england all-time goalscorers list with nat lofthouse and tom finney. shearer remained in international retirement despite speculation of a return during the 2002 world cup and 2004 european championship campaigns, and further declined an offer to be assistant manager to steve mcclaren after the 2006 world cup – a position ultimately filled by terry venables.
