Surely we can come up with a bunch of things our players can call the referee's that will never make FIFA's list. Referees Learning English Swear Words douchenozzle?
I want to see a copy of this list. Is "poo-poo head" on there? The whole swear word furore is quite funny. As if the refs are going to hand out cards every time someone swears at them. Rooney has cursed at the ref in every single professional match he's ever been in. That's his "thing," classy celebrity spokesperson role model that he is.
While English refs may put up with leg breaking tackles and swearing, FIFA always uses the World Cup to set new standards. Law 12 states that unsporting behavior and dissent by word or action are cardable offenses. Rooney is sure to get a card if the rule of law is followed.
