FIFA investigating Rooney red card
Afp, Berlin
England striker Wayne Rooney is to be investigated by FIFA after he was sent off in England's World Cup quarter-final defeat against Portugal. "Wayne Rooney got a direct red card so he will automatically be suspended," a FIFA spokesman told a media briefing here. "It will be a disciplinary case and as with any player (who gets a red card), the committee will decide on the penalty." The Manchester United player was shown a red card after appearing to stamp on Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho in the second half of Saturday's match in Gelsenkirchen. England's 10 men hung on without him but went on to lose in a penalty shootout
