Now now...

Rooney spoiled englands dreams - and an average performance of the residual team.

Owen was really missed badly - becks should have been in shape - and Rooney kicked the wrong ball. He deserved red and it's understandable (!!!) that Ronaldo winks for the rest of the day winking is not against the regulations - after all it must be a great relief that englands most dangerous scorer was bonkers enough to kick himself out of the match.

You really want to lap up the shit the sun is printing ?

Come on England !

The Portuguese cheats tried to foul Rooney twice and he stayed on his feet because, unlike some of the nations in the World Cup, English players don't dive.

He caught one of the Portuguese guys in the balls and whether that was intentional or not was debatable. Then the unpleasant cheat Ronaldo got involved and Rooney lightly pushed him away.

Hopefully, he will wink in front of John Terry when Chelsea play ManUre in the League and then spend an hour picking up his teeth from the pitch.

In the grand scheme of things I think Portugese cheating had little effect on proceedings. I was in France of all places on the day of the England match and the French commentary didn’t alert me to a deliberate stamp (chiefly because I couldn’t understand it!) and having seen it since I still don’t think it was deliberate. I assumed the red was for the push on Ronaldo which was stupid on Rooney’s part.

The only blatant bit of cheating I saw was Maniche clutching his face but he didn’t get anywhere with that one.

We played well with 10 men and had the chance to win the game but the ball was blasted over the bar. Then of course we are rubbish at penalties, especially when we have to retake them. C’est la vie.
