What does anyone care anyways? Rooney is done scoring for England until World Cup qualifiers. Everyone knows that he scores goals in the lead-up but never in the actual tournament. They shouldnt even bring him.

The thing for me is that a little kick like that (and a pathetic acting routine to follow, but that's another issue) gets you three games while a genuinely dangerous tackle that has the ability to end a career often gets you one, if that. It's like if the NHL was handing out 5 game suspensions for a slash to the ankle and 1 game for headshots, it just doesn't make sense to me.
