The victim of Rooney's challenge, defender Miodrag Dzudovic, has written to UEFA to lend his support to the striker.
However, Rooney insists there is no-one to blame but himself.
The 26-year-old told several national newspapers: "Obviously, it's devastating for me but it's something that's my own fault, so I can't really complain.
"It was stupid by me - I regretted it as soon as I did it. It's no excuse, but I still feel the punishment is a bit harsh. I'm disappointed with it.
"All the details we have been waiting on have come through, so we'll be making a decision as to whether we will be appealing.
"Even if it's reduced by one game, it will be a bonus for me."
Rooney added that he has no idea why he kicked out at Dzudovic, earning a straight red card in England's 2-2 draw in Podgorica last month.
He explained: "I honestly don't know why. It was just one of those moments which I live to regret now.
"There was no tackle beforehand, and I didn't think 'I'm going to beat him.' It just happened. I can't explain it."
