Has just come off the pitch injured.
Well that's our world cup hopes gone down the drain!

walk off?
or stretchered?
Stretchered.
In agony.
It looks very very bad.
who did it?
they will be killed
FUCK
Perfectly good tackle by Paolo Ferreira.
Looked nothing as he went over. Quite shocking pictures after.
Rooney just shouting in agony. He knew something was wrong right away. He looked in serious pain.
It's got to be muscular or ligament problems because there was no weight on his ankle to cause a break or fracture.
Ferreira = portugese.
England offer Scolari the job.
Ferreira contributes towards Rooney injury.
Coincidence?
um. Yes.
broken foot
the curse strikes again. I was looking forward to seeing him play in Germany.
Hope he makes it, but it's not gonna happen
shit!!
This has ruined my day. No, my life.
Dang...
So up front we have a fence post and a guy who will have played about 1 competitive game in several months.
yeah its bad
but lets remember. he is an utter pillock and a thug. never liked him, never will, doesn't mean I don't support england.
yeah and the best player
weve got. this is so fucking bad if he misses the world cup
that's it then.
I've lost my bet. I thought it was going to be Gerrard again, but I suppose Rooney is a more obvious choice for God to shit on
...
united > england
United saying...
...they are 'reasonably optimistic at this stage'.
No news of what the injury may be.
i was having such
a nice birthday too.
fuck fuckety fuck fuck fuck.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/4957970.stm
it doesnt matter now if we lose
every game 5-0, the reason we didnt win the world cup is because rooney was injured
Nah...
I'll still blame Embrace.
i blame embrace
for rooneys injury
I blame Embrace
for Cancer.
i haven't followed football for about 10 years
and have just found out via that link that wigan are in the premiership.
how the fuck did that happen? that's amazing!
Hopefully
He's just twisted his ankle and will be out for a week.
I've been saying to all my mates for weeks that this was going to happen!
So you can blame me if you want,
I personally blame Justin Hawkins for that world cup song.
oh shit
bang goes our world cup chances.
Unless some grannies "massage" his foot better...
hehe
He just limped onto the team bus on crutches, didnt look in too much pain. Still 6 weeks to go before the world cup, so im quietly optimistic...
Apparently
On BBC just now Mourinho quoted as saying that Man U say "wayne will be ok for world cup"...
Please please please.....Even if he is a granny-shagging thug with the wit of a bedridden Downie, that was our* sole** hope of doing well at the World Cup.
* Apols to non-English
** See what I did there.
He's a footballing genius...
we need him if we ant any chance of doing anything this Summer, is he's OK, I reckon we'll at least make the Semis.
Who cares
AJ for england...nay?
Nay
And thrice nay, including yours. He's not even the top English scorer in the Championship!
He was out for most the season though.
looks like
Owen and Beanstalk up front then. Is there anyone else? Bent I suppose?
We'll end up taking
James Beattie.
Or dare I say it....the Heskey.
DON'T SAY IT...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
It's bad enough that we'll (Sheffield United) will probably end up buying him from Birmingham.
Beattie?
Vassell?
Johnson?
Fowler?
Greaves?
I retire from supporting England, with immediate effect. I would like it to be know that I am aboard the Saudi Arabia bandwagon for Germany 2006.
They have a bandwagon?
I thought it was only a fruit cart?
Ashton for England, yes maybe I am slightly desperate. Fuck it get Harewood as well.
Fowler...
:D:D:D
We need Uri Geller...
to do that touch the TV screen and send positive thoughts to Rooney's foot, like he did with Beckham last time round.
fuck it
let's play Ameobi up front
The last thing we need...
is that fucking Bender/joke of an Exeter Chairman.
It worked last time...
;)
Rooney
will be fine...
For 2010, perhaps
And now Michael Owen thinks he may have aggrivated his foot (he played half an hour today).
This is some sort of karma, isn't it? The fates can't let England's most talented team in years and years just go to a World Cup full strength, it has to be brought low. I bet there's no metatarsal injuries in Spain.
What's his foot like now?
I've been getting texts about this all day...
hes getting fitted with
a bionic foot
This won't go down well...
but the nearest we've got to someone who can do what Rooney does is probably Marlon Harewood. Even I'll admit he's no international quality, though.
If Owen and Rooney both end up missing the cup, though, I think Sven should take him.
...heh-heh...
... and they're gonna install a rocket pack under his shirt so he can hover around the pitch - giving a bit of the 'ol nitros in front of goal. the cup is ours fo sho.
metatarsal
the good old favourite
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2006/4957970.stm
This is Beckham in 2002
all over again. They'll be non stop press coverage of his recovery for the next 6 weeks, talk of oxygen tanks and latest medical trends, and he'll play in the opening game despite not being fully recovered, rendering our most talismanic player of the moment ineffectual.
Damn metatarsals... apparently modern boot design is to blame - not enough protection.
FUUUUCK
oh well, see you for Euro '08 then :(
Kevin Campbell's fit isn't he?
i'd hope England
can get through our group without Rooney to be honest, then hopefully he'll be an option from the second round onwards.
They should all get some stronger boots, this wouldnt happen if they some good thick leather ones, 60s style
I reckon
he will go...
he will go
but wont play til the quarter finals
with studs...
...made by a blacksmith?
Too right
I reckon Owen....
and Defoe....don't shoot me please.
John_K speaks the truth
Boots these days are so flimsy it's ridiculous. The leather is... well, it doesn't feel like leather at all. And the soles are so flexible that they allow the foot to bend way more than boots from about 10 years ago did
Adidas World Cups - now THERE'S a boot
ohhhhhhhh
ANDAYYY COLE!
ANDY ANDY ANDY COLE!
Jordan*
Looks like Eriksson's taking him now
providing Man Utd say he'll be okay to play in the quarters. If we make it through without him and then he comes back it will be SO GOOD.
well...
i say we just take SHERINGHAM!!!
Sherringham, Shearer, Fowler and Cole. I actually think we'd do ok with them if we rotated.
