The Football Association have made a decision that they will appeal Wayne Rooney’s ban which was imposed on the Manchester United striker after his red card against Montenegro in the final match of the qualification rounds of the
2012 European Championships. Rooney’s tackle was punished with a red card and UEFA imposed a three match ban on the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 youngster in the aftermath of the suspension to elaborate on the seriousness of his actions.
As it stands, Rooney is set to miss the group stages of the European Championships which are scheduled to be held next summer in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032. The Manchester United striker has already announced that he is disappointed in
his behaviour that he exhibited whilst playing for his national team against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montenegro-c2959. However the enigmatic target man has now been offered support by the Football Association who have already informed UEFA that they are appealing Rooney’s three match ban.
Debate is rife in the English media as to whether or not Rooney should be taken to the tournament itself next summer considering that he might miss the opening three fixtures for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. F.A’s spokesman said in his latest remarks
about the situation, "We will be appealing against the three-match suspension http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 received following the recent Euro 2012 qualifier in Montenegro," said an FA spokesman. We received written reasons for the red card on Tuesday afternoon and we were
given until midnight tonight to respond."
Wayne Rooney has already stated that it will be a bonus if his ban is cut even only by a single game through F.A’s appeal. It now remains to be seen how UEFA will respond to F.A’s appeal, one of the possibilities is that Rooney’s
ban can be extended whereas there is a good chance that UEFA will show leniency and cut down on their previously announced decision.
There are several English strikers who are ready to take up Rooney’s position in the national team squad next summer if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076 have all been
taking up their chances for the European Championships.
