called the decision an  absolute disgrace. 

 Infantino should be ashamed of this because I think the sportsmanship of the game is in question here,  Rooney told the BBC on Sunday.

Prominent commentator and former England player Gary Neville said Sunday the decision  absolutely stinks. 

 There should be a review process in place,  he told ITV Sports.  Are we surprised? No, not with this lot,  Neville added.

The European Union's Commissioner for Sport said he also believed it was the  wrong decision. 

 Decisions on sporting rules and sporting matters belong to sporting bodies, not politicians. Influencing sporting decisions would undermine the autonomy of sport,  Glenn Micallef said in a social media post.
