Who do you blame?

We're out of the World Cup. England was defeated by Portugal in a match that ended in ignominy for the nation that invented Association Football.
Wayne Rooney was dismissed from the pitch in an incident that appeared to come from his frustration with the poor progress of the match. He had spent the first hour as the only player in attack and his opportunities to score a goal had been almost nil. The lad is young and can be hot headed. He decided to go and make it happen on his own. He valiantly took on several opposition players who tugged his shirt, held his waist and generally tried to block him from his quest. As he stumbled, his boot landed in the groin of one of his assailants. The Portuguese players seized on this chance to get rid of England's only remaining striker with a protest that could have been directed by a top film maker. Rooney's frustration boiled over, he shoved his Manchester United team mate, Christiano Ronaldo and out came the referee's red card. He was off.
The remaining ten men fought on for the rest of the match, through extra time. No one scored. Stalemate brought the inevitable penalty shoot out. The Portuguese goalie was brilliant. He saved three of our penalties. Portugal failed to find the goalmouth with two of their shots. We lost it, they didn't win. All the same our lads are back in the UK. The captain, David Beckham has resigned, Ronaldo and Rooney say their professional relationship remains intact and life goes on.
Who do I blame? Sven Goran Ericsson. As coach he should not have put Rooney in such an exposed position. Due to his poor management the hopes of the entire nation rested on the shoulders of a twenty year old striker.
