As someone who watched the game near-sober....I'm still amazed by how Rooney was been let off with it. In '98 Beckham got torn to shreads to getting sent off in a crucial game for reacting to the foul, but Rooney, despite (perhaps accidentally) stamping on a guy, and then clearly pushing the rat in front of the Ref, is still a hero! Granted, it was never ever a sending off, and England played much better after, but pushing another player, less than a metre from the ref (and with the standard of Ref-ing we have had in this World Cup) is so stupid it hurts.

Although I'm sure it will hurt Ronaldo.
