Polkraine 2012 Group Stage Now Sans Wayne Rooney Posted: 13 Oct 2011 10:09 AM PDT Among the many things deemed illegal in football, playing the upper calf area rather than the ball is one. Wayne Rooney forgot this simple law against Montenegro last week, and now he’s been suspended for the entire Euro 2012 group stage by UEFA. Obviously an appeal will be launched, but… But Uefa’s policy is to suspend the player for one game, with a panel deciding on a case-by-case basis what, if any, additional punishment there should be. Instead of issuing a longer ban, Uefa had the option to hand out a warning or a fine That would seem unlikely given the circumstances of the decision in the first place. So Wayne Rooney’s not brilliant. As you were.
