Disgusting Cristiano Ronaldo

Gerrard: "If it was one of my team-mates, I'd be absolutely disgusted in him because there's no need for that. I've seen Ronaldo going over giving the card and I think he's bang out of order. I think that sums him up as a person. If I was playing against my team-mates from Liverpool and they were involved in a situation like that, I'd never try and get them sent off."

Rooney: "I want to say absolutely categorically that I did not intentionally put my foot down on Carvalho. I bear no ill feeling to Cristiano but am disappointed he chose to get involved."

"I remember the incident clearly and have seen it several times since on TV. I am of the same opinion now as I was at the time that what happened didn't warrant a red card. If anything, I feel we should have had a free-kick for the fouls committed on me during the same incident.

"If you ask any player - and indeed almost any fan - they will tell you that I am straight and honest in the way I play. From what I've seen in the World Cup, most players would have gone to ground at the slightest contact but my only thought then was to keep possession for England."

"I thought the England lads were awesome after I went off and the effort they put in was amazing. Truly if there was any justice England would now be preparing for a World Cup semi-final. Sadly, however, that is not to be in 2006."

Ronaldo: "At the end we texted each other and between us everything's been cleared. He wished me the best of luck in the World Cup. He told me we had a great team and that if we continued to play like this, we would go far. He wasn't angry with me and, moreover, he told me to completely ignore what the English press has said, that all they wanted was to create confusion, but we are already used to that."

I personally agree that Rooney is a honest and straight player (well, most of the time), though he plays for Man Utd which I never like. As for Ronaldo, he's really skillful, but what I can't stand about him is that he always looks for the referee. Everytime he goes to the ground, he acts dramatically and tries to get the attention of the referee. In premierleague, actually people are used to Ronaldo. People know about his tricks, and that's why we don't trust him.
As Rooney said he's disappointed that Ronaldo chose to get involved, I think I was surprised as well. When there's a painful team-mate on the ground, the first thing was to argue to the referee, even to against a Man Utd team-mate and also a 'good friend', according to him? I couldn't believe that, if you watched the video, the first player to take a look at Carvalho was Joe Cole. (Seems that Chelsea players are more close. lol) Whatever Ronaldo said to the referee, whether he tried to get Rooney sent off, it totally doesn't matter. It's Rooney's fault to get himself into that situation in the first place. Personally I just think Ronaldo's behavior was disgusting.
