Rooney playing from the right is an inspired decision. I called it first.

In fairness I remember him getting a few goals and assists from there when he had a mini run out there in one of Fergie's last seasons if I remember correctly.

Nasty tackle and deserves a red, good riddens

Timmyctc

Hahahah. Did you see the way the ref brandished them reds for Val and Sterling? ahhahahahahah

Quandary

Dirty reckless tackle on Valencia by Sterling. Valencia retaliated, grabbed him by the back of the neck pushing him. Both get red cards.

Fair decision on both IMO.

Missed it, what happened?

Double sending off? In a friendly?

kryogen

So does Sterling have "a bit of bite about him" or does he just have "a bit of dirt in him"?

Probably worried one of the would do the other an injury in the last 15 mins. A legitimate concern tbh.

Sterling dove in from behind sorta on Val. Val grabbed him and sort half grabbed half pushed his neck.

Poor tackle from Sterling, Valencia over reacted and grabbed Sterling by the neck, two red cards.

So nothing too bad then, grand so

It was out of character for both players tbf.

Sterling usually isn't that rash, I think he genuinely went for the ball but was reckless.

Valencia reacted to it.

Wilshire is some man to be on the ground

I apologies your right kry. I will even delete that post.

he gets the ball but he catches valencia with his trailing leg..

apologies for describing it badly..

don't think it was a dirty tackle like some posters have stated here..

Crimson King

Reckless challenge alright, could have been nasty but not dirty. Total overreaction from Val. Don't think anyone can complain with the reds tbh.

newballsplease

It was pure filth... To do that in a friendly a week or so before the world cup.

Giggsy11

It was reckless challenge and deserved red card.

I still haven't seen it, but if it was reckless then you would understand Valencia's reaction being a bit over the top on the eve of a World Cup I suppose

Edit: looks pretty nasty from that vine thing, but I will wait to see it properly. No need for that kind of thing in a friendly just before the tournament though

it looks terrible in that gif..

I was watching it on ITV and to be fair they did show other angles which didn look as bad..

and the commentators thought sterling was hard done by..

anyways there both very lucky there will be no suspensions..

Wtf?

Quandary

The tackle was high and he was wildly out of control. Easily a leg breaker if Valencia wasn't able to jump in time.

Valencia's reaction was a definite red.
The tackle was a definite red.

Will I Amnt

Valencia had every right to be livid there, you obviously can't be grabbing lads by the neck though.
I'm actually fuming that Sterling could go into a tackle like that in a friendly with the World Cup a little over a week away.
It would have served him right if he snapped his own ankle doing it.

The_Kew_Tour

Just watch Valencia ankle after the tackle is made. Valencia is a lucky boy, thankfully.
