England legend Wayne Rooney didn’t hold back while reacting to FIFA’s decision to suspend the one-game ban given to American forward Folarin Balogun after a red card in the US’ win over Bosnia in the World Cup Round of 32 match on Wednesday. During BBC’s coverage of England’s 3-2 victory over Mexico in the Round of 16 match on Sunday, Rooney was fuming over the matter, and explained that he believes “sportsmanship of this game is in question here” due to the FIFA’s decision. “I know it’s UEFA, but I got a three game ban before Euro 2012 so I was due to miss the three group games and basically got told if I go over to Switzerland and do a training session with a bunch of kids, the third game gets taken off — which I didn’t agree with but I agreed to do it because I didn’t want the three-game ban,” Rooney said.
