Ronaldo didn't help the decision though, that whiney little shit ! I doubt Rooney will speak to him again after what Ronaldo did to try and influence the ref.
Then we didn't get a penalty for that fowl on Lennon, it was a clear penalty !!
I think its clear that ref favored Portugal with every decision, making Carragher take the penalty again. Fuckin scum the ref !

You can't be serious. The tackle on Lennon was legit. He came into contact with the ball before he came into contact with Lennon. Carragher having to retake the penalty was also legit. You have to wait for the referee to blow the whistle before you can take the shot. This ensures the keeper is ready and that the referee himself is ready. That was just stupid on Carragher's part and probably messed him up mentally for the retake.
I'm not overly sure what the Rooney thing was about. Seemed a tad soft to me. Was he sent off for the stomp or for pushing Ronaldo when he stepped in to have his little cry? The stomp on the nuts did look accidental, but Rooney still should have been penalised for the way he was grabbing at the player. I think even a yellow card would have been pushing it. The red was a bit out there.
