he's left on crutches and looks in pain, how long till 1st game? 6 or 7 weeks? we wont win it without him, cort might get a chance the way our strikers are falling

fingers crossed its not as bad as looked, initially looked like a break for the amount of pain
seems it cant be as bad as first feared as he didnt get took straight to hospital
on a positive note, we should be able to get results against paraguay and trinidad without him thus giving him an extra 10 days or so to recover

good point powelly. do we really need rooney to help us beat paraguay and trinidad? im certain we'll need him for sweden so that gives him 7 weeks to get himself fit. that should hopefully be enough time but the only uncertainty would be his lack of games in that time

why wont ashley cole be fit? hes back in training and has played 2 reserve games. i expect him to be at the world cup and wearing the number 3 unless he's hit by another injury

Not sure it's a matter of 'deserving it' or not. If fit, which he looks like being, he is the best left back in England, probably the world. End of.

Hope Cole is fit, I mean who's the alternative??
Konchesky looks very susceptible at the back on the international front and does get caught out a fair bit in the Prem.
Not too sure on Bridge, can't judge him on his rustyness in the Argentina game but I'd play a 70% fit Cole over a 100% Bridge any day.
I hope Neville's knock isnt anything too serious as well. I thought him and Cole were superb in the Euros especially against Portugal.

Yes, but for which country...you almost felt Mourinho was trying to finish England's World Cup chances singlehandedly today....Rooney got crocked and carried off, Joe Cole finished with an ice pack on his knee, Terry was limping and left to play for another 70 minutes....then Jose comes onto the pitch wearing a Portugal scarf not a Chelsea one.....questions should be asked.... conspiracy theory number 9155...Mourinho stops England for World Cup....

Thats bllox if you dont mind me saying so.
Any team in the worldwould miss Rooney.
He is one of those rare players that the whole team plays through, ala Ronaldino.

Brazil would still be favourites to win the World Cup without Ronaldinho. Therein lies the reason we won't win it: we have to face 'em at some point. Apart from Rooney, only Gerrard and Terry I'd consider are "World Class".

it looks like he's going to be alright...just. however, remember when his first game back after he broke his foot 2 years ago? i may be wrong but i believe it was his united debut when he scored a hat-rick in the champions league. at least on that evidence he won't take a number of games to get up to speed
Darko Pancev
29-04-2006, 22:23
The problem is that after he broke his foot in Portugal, it was a full 12 weeks before he even started kicking a ball again in training. Six weeks seems very optimistic. Not looking good....
johnybig32
29-04-2006, 22:25
He wont make it in my opinion. the break is on the fourth metartarsil...he broke the fifth before, which is surely not as bad and was out 4 8 weeks before he kicked a ball...
doesnt look good, and a back up plan needs to be though through, especially if owen isnt fit.
From what i san cee the only option is give Crouch role upfront by himself, with Cole lampard and Gerrard supporting. We are overloaded with talented attacking midfielders. why not play to our strentghs??
bye bye world cup?

Totally agree...
Plan B was Northen Ireland....and look how that went.
If he did revert to 451, i would like to see the back of beckham, and play cole,gerrard,lampard,carrick and lennon. bit of pace and flair in there...

This is pure nonense he is not going to make it will take him a minimum twelve weeks with any broken bone. Its pointless taking unfit players look at Owen and
Beckham the last time. I hope I am wrong but in my heart of hearts we have lost the cutting edge to the team.

Rooney is going to be at the World Cup, hes going to be our gem in the knock out stages...til then however we will have to rely on the more than capable Gerrard, Lampard, Terry and Beckham to get us through the group stages...and we will get through the group stages with or without Rooney - no doubt in my mind about that!
C'mon me babbies! :D
