It looked to me that it happened accidentally when Rooney tried to extricate himself from the tangle of the other two players.
The problem is that Rooney has a temper and thinks he can get away with violence to other players as well as dissent to the referee. When he returned to the England camp after his scan, he is reputed to have said "The big man is back", but sadly some of his tantrum-like behaviour demonstrates that he is still a spoilt child. Pushing Ronaldo in front of the referee and expecting not to get a red card is the height of arrogance.
England played better without him. It's a pity that Lennon wasn't on from the start because if the team had played like that from the beginning of the match England might have won.
Our team has too many divas and stars and regretably not enough players. Maybe next time the World cup emerges we will actually have a team that wants to score goals without getting red cards but by using superior football skills and a lot more maturity and common sense.
