For about 20 seconds this game made me pretty angry just now. I'm up 3-2 over Arsenal in the 84th minute and need a win to maintain a six point lead with six rounds left in the league season. After Almunia makes a save the rebound falls to Rooney who is standing on the six yard line. Instead of tapping it in to clinch the three points he boots the ball out for a throw in so Song can receive treatment for an injury. Sportsmanship is nice and all but c'mon. I know Paulo di Canio did something similar once but he was on the edge of the area and might not have even gotten onto the cross. Rooney was six yards in front of an open net, I bet 99% of the guys in real life take a shot.
The anger was so short lived because my guys scored right after Arsenal threw the ball back to them, Evra got the ball, passed to Rooney, he played a 1-2 with Anderson then scored from the edge of the area, making it and 4-2. So it didn't cost me anything but it was just unusual imo.
