Rooney out for six weeks

Yes. If sacrificing a squad place for Rooney is going to cost us progression from Group B, we might as well forget the whole thing. The knockout won't be before 24th June. That gives the toe eight weeks. Maybe this injury isn't such a bad thing.
 
england can get through the group stages without him, but they need him in the knock out stages where the going gets tougher, so yes they should take him
 
It's worth having him in the squad even if he can only play semifinal/final. Maybe even final. In fact just having him on the substitutes bench to scare the opposition :D
 
Well it means he can't break his leg in some silly appearance for Fergie before the world cup starts!

Ya, it's much better to have him out with a broken foot now, rather than risk breaking his leg in the last 2 games of the season. What a fucking ridiculous thing to say.

In fact, a source tells me Lampard is going to get the wife to smash his toe with a claw hammer tomorrow. He's afraid he might do his knee before the end of the season so he's picking the lesser of two evils.
 
Rooney is good but he isn't that good , there are players in the England squad who could turn a game as much as rooney , the question is has Sven got the ability to exploit the others players in that way . We saw in EURO 2004 that once Rooney was off Sven didn't have a clue so maybe with a bit of advance warning about weaknesses in his squad he can still build a team that will work .

This is why O'Neil woul;d be a great choice for Engalnd manager he does fucking wonders with the squad he has available even if they aren't necessarily the best players

Well done Mr Retro, you are close to appreciating irony ;)
 
Troubling news as he is a great finisher and we need one. I would be more upset to be losing Steven G though.

I have to disagree. Rooney is that good. Stevie G said yesterday that Rooney is Enlgands best player. Rooney is Englands best player by some distance and in such a key posistion where we don't have many other options, in fact he is, with Messi and Ronaldinho, one of the tournemount's key players. With the qaulity in the side England should make it through the group stages without him which would give him a week and a half to two weeks more. They should certainly take him. Whats the point giving his place to another of the mediocre options who Sven won't play anyway?

If he is not going to make it I would consider Fowler, Sheringham (not going to happen though), Defoe or Bent to be the best options.....or there is always Vassel ;)

Crouch is going and I don't mind that, he's not any worse than any of the other options really.
 
If I was an England fan, I'd be raging about this. Yous, for once, have my sympathy.

Ireland, on the other hand, just manage comedy, self-inflicted, injuries, a la Roy Keane :(

I do hope Rooney makes it onto the pitch at some stage during the competition.
 
Fucking bollocks innit :( There goes any chance of us winning.. not just losing him, but the negative impact this'll have on preparations and in the media.

I got a shiver down my spine when I was listening the match and the commentators got all scared.

Waaaaaaaaah :(

Sun will launch that campaign similar to Beck's foot shortly... I reckon.
Hopefully Rooney will tell them where to shove their campaign. Last I heard he was boycotting them over the treatment meeted out to Colleen.

Gerrard can play striker too. Hasn't done for a while but I wouldn't be surprised if he's used like that.

Surely this would require some creative thought on Sven's side....little chance I would think.
