Rooney gets another red card. More fun can still occur:

Rooney’s sending off could result in a three-game Premiership suspension if the Dutch FA opt to report the incident to the English Football Association.

Such good timing and build up for the English Premiership… as always.

…kid’s clothes and memorablia get stolen.

Yes, if this from The Times is to be believed. Reason enough for the English to rejoice no doubt.

Ronaldo is much hated in England now post the England world cup exit. Whether it was a red card or not is secondary. Portugal tried to unsettle the English and the first attempt lead to madness by Rooney. He shouldn’t have interferred in the first place.

This man won’t mind the recent developments though. The scape goat phenomenon in England never ceases to amuse me.

Another day, another feature. Presenting today - Decalink. I keep coming across news, views, insights and much more related to sports. However, I am unable to highlight them in posts more often than not.

This seems a good solution. Deca denotes a factor of 10 or 10 itself. So in Decalink, I will be highlighting 10 sports related web pages.

So without further ado:

• Off Wing Opinion Live Blogs the NHL.

• CSKA Moscow wins Euro League.

• CNNSI on Chris Couch winning maiden PGA title.

• Deadspin on Lakers taking a 3-1 lead over the Suns.

• Kenya Cricket Blog on the new Kenya Sports Bill.

• Former Timberwolves co-owner Harvey Ratner is dead.

• Chandrahas Choudhury on playing cricket in the Oval Maidan in Mumbai.

• England post-Rooney talk. From Times: fallen foot soldiers.

• Football Commentator on Andres Iniesta.

• H. Natarajan on S.Venkataraghavan.

Decalink will appear 2 times a week usually. The football interviews will appear 4 times usually. There is the daily football commercial of course. All this is the tentative plan subject to change ofcourse.

Do E-mail me links to sports news, views and insights which you find out. Credit will always be given. You can also mail me links to your own pieces. I would highly appreciate it.

I hope you enjoyed the launching edition of Decalink.

The brief statement from the Man U website reads:

He will be out for six weeks.

Well, told you it was brief! To spell it out, 6 weeks is 42 days. The World Cup is 40 days, 12 hours away. Also, 42 days will be an estimate. No one can say for sure how many exact days it will take. We can say, though, that it is a serious injury noticing the days given.

Also, if he is out for 42 days, how would he be able to just come pick up and play excellent football right from the word go.
