Manchester United legend Gary Neville says Wayne Rooney's on-field discipline isn't England's problem.
He explained in his column for the Mail on Sunday: "Don’t get me wrong, he can’t hide from the mistake and he was right to apologise in the dressing room afterwards. But what gets me is that now everyone will get caught up in the circus and furore surrounding the sending-off.
"The most disappointing thing about his red card is that it distracts from the major issue.
"With England, we’re always looking for an excuse; we’re always caught up in the minor rather than the major. The real issue is that the spine of the team is not good enough, as it stands, to take on Spain, Italy, France or Germany at Euro 2012."
