I don't think you can blame Potugal for getting Rooney sent off. He did that himself. He deliberately tried to damage that guys knackers and right in front of the referee. Dumb or not dumb.
I am a staunch England fan and am unhappy that they are not through to the last 4.
We lost becuase we were not good enough. Why oh why do so many people have to use sour grapes to excuse the poor performance of England. Stop blaming the opposition and look deeper at the reasons why England were incapable of producing entertaining football with what looks like an excellent team on paper, but as usual, unable to do it on the park.
IMHO, Rooney lost the match for England with his childish reaction. As somebody said above, he needs to grow up and use his talents to win games. He just can't be trusted to do the job for us.
