Rooney to miss all of EURO group matches

[Adi]

Is FIFA

A red is a red... 1 game suspension.  3 games is insane.  I know other players get similar for such actions, but it's bad standard if you ask me.

I hate England and would love to see them fail, but this is shocking.  What a hit for England.  They are royally screwed.

some common sense should be applied here

Uefa says the ban is for 'assault'. I do not know how uefa define assault but from what i know assault has a very wide definition and has different levels of severity. Should someone who does a light kick on the back of someone's leg get the same ban length as someone who does a studs-up tackle from behind? Clearly the punishment does not fit the crime.

lol good one!

yeah its harsh should just be one or two games but they put torres out for 3 games and his tackle was on the same level as rooney - the whole situation is made more funny because rooney is a cunt - gutted england! hopefully they lose to croatia again!

Same with Ribery in the Champions League two years ago.  Missed 3 crucial knockout games, including the final because of a hard tackle.

Ban was just reduced to 2 games.  A bit more fair but annoying.
