Gary Neville said

The england team player, who is captain of Rooney and Ronaldo at United, said the England striker was heartbroken but would get over it.
"He is a colleague at club and international level and we hope the sending-off won't be as bad as it looks," he said.
"Whatever comes of it, and he is heartbroken, there will be people around him who will have been through it before.
"But tonight is not about about Wayne Rooney being sent off, it's about England being out of the World Cup."
It was a deja vu moment for England. It was leading 1-0 in the Euro 2004 quarter-final against Portugal when Rooney departed with a broken metatarsal, a game-turning injury in a match also lost on penalties.
Before the game Rooney had declared himself ready for anything Portugal's tough-tackling defence could throw at him, but it was the volatile 20-year-old who lost his head, plunging his team-mates into crisis.
