Really Rooney should have only gotten a yellow. The stamp looked accidental and the push should have merited a booking, but to blame Ronaldo is misguided. He was complaining to the ref as all overpaid footballers do but I don't think even he was expecting Rooney to be red-carded. But I don't think that would have made any difference. After Rooney was sent off England were left with limited options up front thanks to Sven's selection, and again a pile of English talent not fulfilling their potential. I mean seriously 3 wins and a draw against the "might" of T&T, Paraguay, Ecuador and Sweden. They were hardly going to be world beaters. But seriously bad luck England were the better team throughout and deserved to win (and win a place against France/Brazil... ah well!). Rooney was very badly treated, and England... START SCORING IN 90 MINUTES! Then you won't have to do bloody penalties again.
And I bet you were expecting a stream of anti-Englishness. Well f*ck you stereotype!
