The Ugly Scumbag does it again!

I have just downloaded the goals from some of the friendlies and qualifiers that happened yesterday. First up, England vs Slovenia. It's a no contest, in my mind. Yet, there was a cheap trick played by a certain Balooney Rooney. I paused the video and am now writing this post in a state of disbelief and shock.

You can watch the controversial goal here. Here is a good photographic evidence/analysis of the incident. John Terry, haven't you watched this? Are you still sitting in your small cardboard box, isolated from all that's happening around you?

Rooney is short and everyone knows that. He could not reach the ball that was played into the box for sure. So, what does he do? He literally tackles the Slovenian center half, goes to ground and immediately puts his arms up for a penalty claim. The referee gives it, which was a very bad decision. Lampard takes it and gifts England the lead. It was ironic. There was so much talk about English players, honesty and the statement that Rooney made yesterday. Two incidents involving English players happen on the same day and still the English men feel that they are the most sophisticated and cultured of all races. This isn't medieval age. This is the age of nukes and computers. You better get out of those cocoons. With all the statements made yesterday, it is clear that the English team will be closely monitored by every one, atleast till the World cup next year. Every incident involving them will looked up by the media and I see a tough tough year for them.

Later!
