One of Rooney's strengths as a player is desire, will and determination.

The ref was duped. Whether it has affected the outcome is anyone's guess, but will always be conjecture. Time to forget it and move on, I just hate to hear that Rooney deserved red and that Portugal deserved to win the game.

Portugal are in the semis. I won't be cheering them, but at the end of the day they are through. It is over now time t enjoy the other matches now.
