World Cup Squads

It wasn't the fall, it's his elbow/arm colliding with the knee of the japanese dude. Though falling on it aftwards doesn't help

Ah, I see.

Collision with the knee is always painful.

Certainly when it fractures the elbow, ouch.(if it's true what they say)

F**k sake why is it quality players that are getting injured.

ferdinand rumored to be out.

It's a good thing. I haven't given up hope yet, just a couple of hundred thousand more injuries to go and we'll be called up I'm sure!

No?

I'll get my coat.

As long as they are not Liverpool players...

Apparently Ferdinand is injured now for England.

In a way, that may be a good thing. He's way out of form.

Heard Drogba out as well.

Heard Drogba out as well.

Fractured his right elbow. Very likely, I guess.

Ferdinand out Dawson is flying to SA tonight

Seems Pirlo is doubtful with a calf injury.

Heard Drogba is out of the World Cup squad now? Broken arm apparently.

Reports say he's "definitely not out" and awaiting verdict from the medical team on his fractured elbow whether he'll play the first game.

Surely if he has busted his elbow that would rule him out, it's not going to heal in the space of around 7 days.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It's not going to heal in team.

Imagine Ivory Coast being desperate and gives him the green light. He'll be wearing a sling

It's a F***ing disgrace.

Andrea Pirlo is a doubt for Italy.

And John Obi Mikel is out of the World Cup - 4th Chelsea player.

Didn't Gary Linekar play with a broken arm in '86? Drogba should do the same.

Robben is a doubt too now

Robben is a doubt too now

Yeah Hoping he can recover, he has 2 weeks, we can make it through the group stage without him.

It's amazing how many big profile players are getting injured a week before the World Cup starts.

EDIT

Seems Drogba will be going to South Africa and will play some part in the World Cup.

Hopefully Dogbreat will make it worse and end up messing up his career. Or is that just wishful thinking?
