Entire English World Cup team has broken feet, or, what is Sven thinking?

[christo]

So, now Danny Murphy has a broken foot. So does David Beckam. And Gary Neville. I bet Steven Gerrard's groin is fine, that he's actually got a broken foot and they're covering it up to stop a panic. Could it be broken feet are contagious? There's an epidemic of them in ancient Albion. Time to buy shares in a crutches company.

I guess I don't understand what the hell teams prepping for the World Cup are doing playing these so-called "friendlies" days before the start of hostilities. I know, the teams need time to jell, they have to play together a bit. But with players going down in droves, jeez, bury them on the bench and save them for the real games. Preseason games in any sport are totally ridiculous.

So now England has a team that includes Beckham, who might not play because of his foot; Nicky Butt, who has a bad knee; Kieron Dyer, who has a bad knee, and who will probably have a meteor fall on him in the first game, with his luck; and Trevor Sinclair, who is going to be so jet-lagged he'll be puking his guts out on the sideline, his internal clock rebelling against sunlight at 3:30 AM, London time. Why didn't Sven insist Sinclair hang around? Why didn't he pick David Dunn instead, who I thought played very well this year and figures to be a part of the national team into the future? Why doesn't he tell the boys to hang around the bar and not touch anything sharp?

With all the injuries, I'm just hoping England doesn't take the field against Sweden with a midfield of Heskey, Southgate, Scholes, and Cole. Hell, I'm just hoping they find 11 bodies to put out there.

It is fucking hilarious - sorry before all you English jump on me - unfortunate that so many people are braking their feet and half the team are actualy carrying some sort of injury.

I agree with you also why did Sinclair go home - maybe he is trying to rack up his air miles -

Kean has stormed off in the huff from Ireland and Freddy Lunberg is having a punch up with a team mate. Fuck it is not even started yet and it is all going on

CANT WAIT

Remember Sven is a Swede.

Sweden are in the same group as England.

Could it be a plot!

No Blue -Taylor was a swede - or was he a turnip, yes he was a turnip , but there is very little difference between a swede and a turnip

Taylor was certainly some sort of vegetable!

I still reckon it's a plot. Sven and Todd Grip (what a name) going around treading on toes!

Not in Scotland there's not - in England there is. Little white round shiny, things are turnips.

I'll ask her majesty - she's just arriving. Her helicopter is going round the castle.

Anyway, I've finally decided to come out.

Yes, I'm going for SPAIN. Viva Espana.

I've had a vision. Spain are going, at last, to perform as the Spanish can. Next to the Scots, they have always be totally disappointing. So, in the absence of Scotland, I go for Spain.
