stek1983 said:from what I've heard, Rooney will be out for 6 weeks.
so he'll still probably be able to go to Germany, but maybe just miss the first one or two games.
even though i disagree with what Gerrard is saying.om3ga said:Hmm...
Sven-Goran Eriksson has confirmed he plans to take Wayne Rooney to the World Cup despite his foot injury.
details:
Rooney will be in England squad
i kinda agree with him, we need Rooney.Steven Gerrard said:(that's right, Stevie G is a member at FreeOnes)
it would be "impossible" for England to succeed in this summer's World Cup without striker Wayne Rooney
Our team makes me happy... :yesyes: anyway we (brazilians) are concerned about the "favouritism". This is not good9inch said:

Le'ts review their roster.
Dida: Very weak this season, has A LOT of problems with high balls.
Cafu and R. Carlos: Geniuses of Football, one of the best defenders of all times, but, rather old and young players can give them alot of problems.
Kaka: Brilliant player but, as proved when Milan played Barcelona, if the opposing team can guard him well he will be out of the game and will have trouble jumping back in.
Ronaldo and Adriano: Very very weak season for Adriano and even Ronaldo, although Ronaldo knows what to do in these events.
poggy1 said:Well I will say this, at least everyone elses squads have a striker. England have Rooney (injuried and IMO not going to be fit for any of the world cup), Owen (been out since december and not proven if fit), Crouch (no comment and he plays for my club), Walcott (a untried 17 year old, who's a winger and is somewhat of a talent, but not a striker). So there you have it, who's going to score the goals. IMO we should have picked Dafoe instead of having him on the reserve list.
Good job theres Gerrard, oh no wait Sven's in charge so he'll be held back by instructions.
All the above players had a weak season at their clubs BUT when they are playing for our national team the history changes... They have never played bad in a game (except in 1998 - final). I can guarantee to you that Dida, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Kaka, Ronaldo and Adriano will start the first game in Germany. Lets bring one more trophy Brazil !! :nanner:Calm said:I'm probably the only one who thinks Brazil isn't a favorite.
