Rooney was so dumb for that red! He just kicked a guy straight in the calf as the guy was turning away from Rooney.

Oh, by the way, I am a few games into my 4th season on FIFA 12 manager mode. It's fun, but man, it is so different playing better teams than my little 3 star Sporting Lokeren.

The Brazil - Mexico game was great. Ronaldinho with an absolute beauty of a goal to tie it up then Brazil eventually wins 2-1.

Rooney suspended for the entire group stage of Euro 2012 for his kick. Big blow to England.

Absurd, imo.

1 game maybe, but the foul wasn't even that big of a deal.

I dunno. A Red Card for 2 YC is an automatic suspension without appeal of 1 game in international competitions. A straight red then would typically result in a 2 game suspension. Rooneys foul was about as deliberate as you will see. I think a 2 game suspension wouldve been fine, but the guy has a nasty history of his temper getting the best of him. Maybe in England is knocked out he will learn to get his shit together. The act is old.

Anybody been paying attention to the Euro Cup qualifying. All the group winners are set, and I believe the 2 legged playoff drawings are supposed to be today.

1 would have been fine, 2 warranted, 3 is ridiculous.

Agreed. But my biased opinion of his temper makes me very happy it was 3 lol. I love his game, but it is overshadowed by BS like this which, unfortunately, happens way to frequently.

Yeah that was one of the dumbest straight reds I've seen in a while....especially when up 2-1.

I bet it will get reduced to 2 on appeal, considering Arshavin only got 2 for Euro 2008 so there's some precedent.

Hopefully City can continue the form they had the opening part of the season. Even though I like Villa, I want someone other than ManU and Chelsea to win the title!

Inter with another loss today. Only 4 points through 6 Serie A matches.
