I would not. And Davis, Mendes and Gario are better than him.

If I could have any Scottish player I would have James McFadden.

I've just read that apparently Owen was in a quite a bit of discomfort after the game.

Could they both miss the World Cup?

Good luck to the Blues next season, Charlton might just pass you in the other direction

Good luck to Curbs, you helped save us during our darkest time and you will be missed.

Rooney has a broken foot

They're all trying to say he'll be out for 6 weeks, but the last time he broke his foot, he was out for 3 months, Owen has been out for 4.

I don't think he'll be fit for the World Cup

It's a shame for Rooney. I have zero symphathy for the English supporters though. He'd probably have scored 5 goals in the tournament and then missed a penalty or something and had the whole nation wanting his blood over nothing.

Same thing would have happened if he was bare foot.

And trust me, you aren't winning it. Even if he makes it.

The point about the boots is they're making them so lightweight there's no protection anymore. I assume you got that. But if you did the barefoot comment makes even less sense

Hey if I wasn't English I'd be pissing myself laughing right now, so I can't blame ya. I'm kinda used to this sort of crap anyway with supporting who I do

Didn't get the lightweight thing. I wear lighter boots than ever now and don't feel less protected. I was saying I don't think it mattered what boots he was wearing. His foot just twisted.

You seen it yet? You'll know what I mean. Not exactly a twist. More of a bend too forward of the top of the foot.

Rooney's foot pretty much did bend when he did it, nothing to do with the boots. It was pretty nasty watching..... lovely jubbly.

Its simple enough, without Rooney, England cannot win the World Cup. Without Owen, England will struggle to make the Quarter Finals.

If its the same bone he broke last time (which I have reason to believe it is) then he is going to be out for 3 months, and he will miss the World Cup, if it takes 6 weeks to heal, then he is not gonna be able to be fit for the World Cup, and seriously, he might be Wayne Rooney, but It'll have the same effect on the team as when Beckham did his.

So if they are both out, what should England do?

My thought was playing Crouch alone up front with Gerrard just off him, bring Carrick into the midfield to play the holding role, and let Gerrard and Lampard burst onto balls laid off by Crouch, also allows Cole and Beckham to get crosses in for someone who could (in theory) get goals in the air.

Apparently Owen hasn't rebroken his foot.

He's still never gonna be fit for the World Cup, but he's gonna go.

In fairness, people who miss penalties for England at major tournaments never get it that badly really.

I mean, sure they get asked questions about it and it probably gets a bit boring for them after a while but theres never any kind of hate in it really.

The only people who really suffered like that were Phil Neville and Beckham. And pretty much everyone agrees that the media went WAY over the top with the stuff about Beckham.

If Rooney did scored 5 goals and then miss a crucial penalty, I am pretty sure the paper's the next day would be more like "ENGLAND PENALTY WOE FOR POOR ROON" and talking about the penalty jinx we have. As opposed to "STUPID FAT SCOUSE TWAT CAN'T SCORE FROM 12 YARDS - Free inside: Rooney dartboard."

Apparently Sven has said that if there is any chance Rooney will be fit for the 2nd round matches, he will be taken.

Just a matter of getting that far without him.....

England midfielder Steven Gerrard fears it will be 'impossible to have a successful World Cup without Wayne Rooney' after the Manchester United striker fractured his foot.

The Liverpool captain is concerned Rooney could now suffer the same World Cup injury horror he himself experienced four years ago.

---

With former Reds striker Michael Owen also complaining of discomfort yesterday after his first run-out for more than four months after also fracturing a metatarsal, England's options up front could be severely compromised.

'I do not want to talk about the situation over what alternatives there are and what chance it gives to other people to play,' said Gerrard.

'Let's just keep our fingers crossed that Wayne does go to the World Cup.

'If it is not to be, obviously it is an opportunity for other players - Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe and Darren Bent - but I would much prefer to have a fit Wayne Rooney in the starting XI.'

------------------------------------

Well, that sucks for England. Think I'll still be rooting for them though.

Eh, last report was there was nothing out of the ordinary about Owen being in discomfort and it should fade with time.

All depends on whether they want to rush Rooney back now.

Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock believes his side will prosper in the Barclays Premiership next season.

The Blades are already being tipped for an immediate return to the Coca-Cola Championship but Warnock has other ideas. The Bramall Lane boss feels there are huge grounds for optimism as the club prepare to return to the top flight after a 12-year exile.

"I went to the Liverpool v Aston Villa game on Saturday and I came away thinking that we will score goals in the Premiership," said Warnock. "I watched Steven Gerrard and when he got the ball I said out loud 'he's not going to shoot from there!', and the next second it's in the back of the net."

He added: "You wouldn't think Gerrard is a multi-millionaire who can go to any club because he's so level-headed.

"And that's what this lot are. Phil Jagielka, Michael Tonge and Nick Montgomery; I know all their parents and it's like a family, which makes it even more satisfying.

"In the Premiership you get a little bit more time and we've got the legs and lungs for it.

"I think Danny Webber and Michael Tonge will be two players who everyone will be talking about.

"It's been Jagielka this year but I think people will be surprised with Webber and Tonge.

"And I don't think the defenders in the Premiership will be able to cope with Ade Akinbiyi."

------

So Gerrard being able to score from 25 yards and not being a twat means Sheff Utd will stay up and Ade Akinbiyi will score goals. Despite the fact he was a miserable failure last time.

I believe we have a new candidate for fewest Premiership points in a season everyone.

God, as someone who's witnessed Akinbiyi in the Premiership time and time again, he will eat those words the stupid mouthy twat.
