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.
Ronaldo may land up spitting out teeth when Terry merely leans on him.
He's one of the toughest guys on the pitch on any given day.
Absolutely love him.
That is one thing I noticed about soccer, everytime someone slides in to steal the ball, the other player grabs their ankle like it is broken. Of couse, 30 seconds later they are running around like nothing happened.
I saw the close up - it looked intentional.
That's the rules - you get provoked - your out - it needs lots of discipline sometimes... and players know that...
... and england has earned players with discipline - the fans are fantastic - I get goose bumps listening to god safe the queen. They start singing once the team's in trouble not only when the guys are doing fine. Things to learn in germany.
Wayne should definetly have caught a breath and turn away - my opinion.
Otherwise the spirit of that team was great playing 10 vs 11. Penalties were bad perpared - players looked like they where beaten already.
Don't look for scapegoats - keep your stiff upper lip - and most important don't let the sun ruin englands image.
