World Cup??

[Sister Fracas 5]

How come no one has mentioned Wayne Rooney's injury yet??? Did I miss that thread? Are we hoping it goes away? Are we sitting on pins and needles???

Wayne Rooney has "more than one fracture" and needs a "miracle" to be fit for the World Cup, according to England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Our cable company ran the match today and I taped it. It looked like he just landed wrong when he got tripped by the defender. 99 out of 100 times he would get tripped up like that and bounce right back up.

As they say sh*t happens.

Gutted!! What we gonna do without him guys!!

I had a little sulk the other day coz I realised I wouldn't be 'home' when the world cup was on!! I love bein rowdy and goin to the pub when England play!!! We always have such a great time!! I sure will miss havin pints chucked over my head when we score (well thats if we do now Rooney has gone )

Roshon's worth it though (maybe i can convince him to celebrate English style!)

so here's wishing the boys all the best for june

I generally agree. Rooney is talented, but to suggest he would make the difference between success and failure is, I think, a little insulting to the many other talented English players.

As a Scot, who will I be supporting? The USA, of course. Who else?

Well who are they going to replace him with that is as much of a threat to score? It would be like going into the World Series and your best pitcher hurts his arm or Super Bowl and best your best running back or receiver can't play. You can still win, but it is something you have to figure to be a big negitive.

Oh sure, I can't think of any single individual who is as much of a threat in front of goal, it's true. But a team that is based entirely around one player will always struggle. Luckily, I do believe that England have more depth than that.

Plus the other things is Owen still hasn't test himself for full match.

Owen doesn't exactly look ready. He's hardly played this season. I think it would be a mistake to stick him up front with his current level of fitness. Then again, without Rooney, our options are...um...Defoe? Crouch? Bent?

Actually, I read something interesting in another forum the other day where somebody suggested that Joe Cole play the Rooney role, ie forward dropping deep. Not a bad idea, if you ask me. Cole's been quality all season, and he's never looked all that comfortable in the England midfield.
