World Cup 2010 Pre-Tournament Thread

[Guest Heneage]

Lovenkrands said on the telly he rang up the Danish boss and said he didn't want to be considered.

I debate if he'd have made it. Tomasson won't be dropped, and I think the others have been playing at a high level, if I can remember the others right, it's Soren Larsen, Bendtner, and Rasmussen.

Lovenkrands not going to the World Cup is a disgrace.  :-[

 

So Lovenkrands losing his father and choosing to spend the summer with his family so he can focus on the new season in the PL with us is a disgrace? 

 

Didn't know that. Fair play to him, then.

John Terry has been taken to hospital with a suspected broken metatarsal.

Great news.

John Terry has been taken to hospital with a suspected broken metatarsal.

 

Great news.

 

Jesus Christ, it is actually freaky how many metatarsal injuries the England team gets.

[Ketsbaia]

Capello must have sneered at the idea of an 'England jinx' when he arrived.

 

Wonder what he thinks now.

[M4]

Capello will be able to call up Wayne Bridge as his replacement then!

[Dr.Spaceman]

YYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! I can support England again if that cunt breaks his foot.

[maybe_next_year]

i'm not a massive fan of terry's but still bad news for england, leaves us with a massive problem at the back.

That it's superstition and that this is nothing but coincidences and bad luck like any rational and intelligent human being.

[Guest Stephen927]

The prospect of going into the World Cup group stages with Terry and Ferdinand out is worrying. I don't care about Terrys personal life, he's the best centre back England have.

[NG32]

Can we not play Crouch at CB if we have injuries?

Cole injured. Beckham, Rooney, Barry, Ferdinand injured. Now Terry possibly injured. Then theres all the personal stuff thats part and parcel of tournament year - affairs, divorces etc. The closer the tournament is, the more things seem to be going wrong. Obviously yes, its a coincidence, it can't be anything else. But its still very unlucky and worse than probably any other nation.

How big is the chance of Klijestan making the 23-man cut? Want his name on the back of my US shirt, but would be a bit redundant if he didn't make it.

 

80%+ 

I reckon he'd have to get injured not to be on the plane to SA.

and people say theres no karma...............

Amazing Our No.7 is Park, by the way.

Awesome!

 

"Cheer Up!!!"

[Guest Stephen927]

John Terry has not broken his foot.

[Fenham Mag]

He hopes to play in the FA Cup Final , made up rumours just Journos getting a thrill.

He's probably the only one I can't tell you definitively. A few years ago there was no doubt, but he's really struggled with the full first team in recent callups. I think Bob Bradley see's his talent though, and will call him up if he has a pretty good camp. I'd probably wait until June 1 to order it if I were you.

I spent the afternoon thinking "Raymond Domenech, what a fool"
