In case you are from planet Mars and missed it.....

... this is the story so far.


England striker Wayne Rooney got a broken metatarsal (in his foot apparently).

Rooney suffered the injury in a Premiership game - Manchester United against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 29 April.

England have to decide by 9 June whether to replace Rooney in the World Cup squad.

His club boss Ferguson said: "This is a dangerous area because the scan quite clearly shows the fracture is not healed."

What he means is "I am Scottish and don't care if Rooney plays for England or not!"

Wayne Rooney World Cup Watch?



Is that what you mean !

When I think of this endless Rooney injury updates, anyone else remember the Ariston tv advert from the UK many years ago?

The song jingle went:-
Aris-ton. And On. And On.
And On. And On.

Tabloids reported fellow England striker Michael Owen was also injured today,
but that is just a continuation of the hysteria in the English media.

10 days til the games kick off.

Can't wait.

Apparently Wayne Rooney has just tapped his elbow and hit the funny bone!

More news on this dramatic event as soon as its confirmed!
How ever so exciting.


On a serious note, I think England have a great squad and a great chance of getting to quarter finals at least, and probably the semi finals too.

I feel this whole obsession and over reaction to Rooney being injured is just to give them an excuse should England return home earlier than planned.
