England lose as Rooney rages

Spain 1 England 0

Only the largesse of referee George Kasnaferis ensured the 19-year-old striker was not sent off after a string of rash challenges in England’s friendly against Spain.

However, Rooney had lost his head so completely after being booked for an idiotic - and dangerous - push on keeper Iker Casillas which Sven-Goran Eriksson hauled him off for after just 42 minutes.
