The Manchester United striker has been forced to sit out England&rsquo;s opening two matches of Euro 2012 following his red card moment of madness in qualifying against Montenegro last October. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jun/rooney_2.jpg" style="width: 405px; height: 399px; " /> That inexplicable sending off in Podgorica was the latest flashpoint of Rooney&rsquo;s England career, which also saw him red-carded in the quarter-final defeat to Portugal at the 2006 World Cup. Rooney is confident however there will be no chance of the red mist descending once more as England prepare for a tense encounter against Ukraine in Donetsk where the tournament co-hosts will be fighting for their survival. &ldquo;What happened was a mistake; I understood that and apologised to the guy,&rdquo; Rooney told reporters yesterday when asked about his dismissal against Montenegro. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve paid the price and had to take it. But I&rsquo;ve no doubts about my attitude and my temperament. I&rsquo;m happy and I&rsquo;m ready to play.&rdquo;u00a0
