During an unusual struggle
allowed to proceed by Referee
Elizondo between Rooney and
Carvalho, Rooney is initially
intent-to-injure fouled by
Carvalho on his right ankle,
then when Carvalho realizes
that the referee will not call
that kick down a foul he
re-approaches and knees Rooney
in the head, then Rooney steps
on Carvalho (perhaps
accidentally).
Clearly this referee was
allowing a great deal of
physicality in this particular
struggle.
(Keep in mind that the replays
in this clip are slowed down,
so it is not clear at full
speed whether the 'stomp' was
intentional or not, to viewers
or to the referee. Viewers
should focus on the live full
speed footage.).

It is visible that just before
the alleged stomp, the referee
blows his whistle and gestures
indicating a foul against
Rooney. What violation could
Rooney have made prior to the
alleged stomp ?

Then incredibly, while the
Referee Elizondo is deciding
what punishment if any to mete
out, and after Rooney has
collected his emotions and
raised his hands to indicate
that he knows the referee
might be about to judge him,
Rooney decides to push another
player Cristiano Ronaldo,
essentially demanding the
referee to send him off.
From this 62nd minute on, the
England team was forced to
play with 10 men against 11
for Portugal.
This incident transformed the
match into a defensive
struggle with England
defending its own penalty area
and only going forward for
corners and free kicks.
Portugal failed to score for
the next 30 minutes, plus
another 30 minutes of
overtime, but predictably won
the Penalty Kicks tie breaker,
with England shooting and
missing on tired legs.

This one incident, decided the
outcome of the match and thus
this whole Sports event went
to waste.

Clearly, Rooney and the
referee Elizondo were involved
in corruption to Fix the
Outcome of this match, which
put Portugal into the WC 2006
Semifinal against France.
England has a huge Organized
Crime Gambling problem, which
sometimes leads to players and
referees being paid off to
arrange Sent Offs and thereby
decide the outcome of matches
so gambling addicts lose their
money to the Organized Crime
bookmakers.
In 2005, in Germany, there was
a huge scandal in which
referees (e.g. Robert Hoyzer)
and players were fixing
matches, just like this.
