As was I.
Which wasn't a red card.
The Portugal player he shoved was Christiano Ronaldo, his Man Utd teammate, who ran straight to the ref and began appealing to him. When Rooney shoved him that's what the ref picked up on as far as I can tell. But a shoving's not a red card, it's a yellow at most and a quiet word.
