Given that their punishment was equal, can we assume then that their offences were equal? I'm not defending Rooney here but there was at least some doubt as to whether he did stamp deliberately or whether it was an accident. There can be no doubt that Rodriguez deserves what he got as he was throwing around punches. I cant get my head round this, FIFA just move from one blunder to the next. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case why have Ronaldo and Henry not been punished coz i'm sure they were diving to win an oscar this year 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
