Why did it take Mikel Arteta to get ill for the game in England to do the right thing?" "After the emergency meeting, at last the right decision was made - until then it almost felt like footballers in England were being treated like guinea pigs. "We're happy to play until September if the season extends to then, if that's how it has to be. As long as we know we're safe to play and it's a safe environment for spectators, we'll play," Rooney said.
