England & The Injury Curse !

Its 2 Months before 2006 World Cup.....England Golden Boy Wayne Rooney was dubbed the next phenom and bookies chose him as their man to carry Englands World Cup Dreams ! All this was ended by one horrific tacke from Chelsea's Paulo Ferrera..... Man United lost that match 3-0 but all of england was cursing their bad luck.... They lost Wayne Rooney after all........ Inspite of the Injury to Rooney he was in the world cup sqaud and the Incredibly stupid Sven Quarterfinal Ericson chose 3 other strikers and among them were a fading Michel Owen and 16 year old Walcot !
Sven's say was that walcott would gain experince....Well His stupid selection cost england the world cup...... While we build up for 2010 World Cup in south africa Half of englands defence is already on the treatment table....... Ashley coles ankle is a worry while Wayne Bridge took himself out of contention after going through much pain in his personal life...He cant play along side JT after all that happened......

The usually Influential John terry seems lost.....well lets hope he gets over thins n gets back to his brilliant best before the world cup........ Of course only god knows what will happen to Rio ferdinands back every now and then...... As he stated lets hope hes got over his injury..... West Ham's Mathew Upson is the only man who has a clean medical record in the recent past.....Gary Cahill's season ended in a way no england fan would prefer..He looked solid for bolton this season and would surely have been called up by Fabio Capello...

And while Capello almost had his 30 men in mind Wes Brown lost his footing too...... The versatile United Defender would have made a difference being cover to both Right Back and Central defence....... Ah fergie says hes only out for 4-6 weeks...We'l have to wait and see what happens.....

Though Glen Johnson whos has been capello's choice at right back is fit now i have never been convised by the defensive side of his game..... Old horse Gary Neville is far better than him defensively.... This is only choice of Mr.Capello i disagree of...... After all we cant go to world cup with some one inconsistent.... Hmm The right back slot for me is a real problem where we dont have any one to fill in... Comparitively teams like brasil and Germany are very strong in this position...

Any manager in the world would be glad to have a man like Bayern Munich's Philip Lahm on his right side of defense while the brazilian pair of Maicon and Dani Alves have terrorized opposition defences with their marauding runs while being solid in defense...Joleon lescott seems to have lost his form which earned him an insanely costly 23 million pound move to mega rich manchester city.......

Lets hope we get Ashley cole back before the biggest tournament on the planet kicksoff... With Wayne Rooney, Jermaine Defoe and Peter Crouch firing all cylinders in attack lets hope we get our defense right !
