For the third world cup in a row, an injury has caused the preparations for the World Cup to be thrown in to dissaray. This time, it is Rio Ferdinand, captain of the English Squad, to suffer from a knee injury.
Ferdinand has injured his knee during the final moments of practice. Following his injury, his replacement Michael Dawson, yesterday left his wife Anna to celebrate the rest of their wedding anniversary alone as he made a dash to Heathrow Airport to catch an 8pm flight to Johannesburg.
This injury is said to be a serious blow to England's hopes of winning the World Cup for the first time since 1966.
Although I'd rather have the Netherlands win the World Cup, I still think it is a shame that the English squad won't be at its full power at the tournament. However, England is not the only team suffering from injuries, so it is not the biggest disaster in the world.
This is going to be a real easy excuse for England to use when they do not win the World Cup ofcourse. Lets just blame it on the injuries. I do not think it matters that much because the vice-captain, Lampard, will do a great job as well.
Thats all I know about football so far. (Yes I call it football, not soccer, do not try to discuss that issue with me)
