Might as well be Crouch for Rooney for all the effect he's had.
But a switch to 2 strikers would be more sensible.
Don't think he has any intention of playing Walcott, begging the question why is he there?
Meanwhile, Maniche is miraculously healed!
Thank you Our Lady of Fatima!
Well you got your wish.
Rooney done until the Finals.
Nice one Rooney. England are sunk.
Redcarded for the backward groin step.
Awful call by the ref.
A Red card between two Man United teammates. What was Rooney thinking.
Straight in the nuts.... !!!
stoopid move by Rooney, but didn't deserve a card.
Do you think Rooney did that intentionally?
Thanks! But it looks as if Portugal will win - Rooney got a red card, and from the slow-motion his behaviour was intentional, therefore: the card goes ok, although it could also have been yellow.
Ronney was England's only striker, right?
Fat b***tard should never play again.
If you're going to stamp on someone, don't do it an inch from the ref.
Shades of Beckham in the 1998 world cup. Now Joe Cole off. Sigh.
I hope someone else will answer you, I do not know.
Joe Cole off, Crouch on. Crouch better produce.
It deserved a card, definitely. And a red one can be shown, but it could have been a yellow, too. Sadly, such a misbehaviour by a player can make the decisive difference.
