I wouldn't worry about losing Rooney for that long!

He would've just sprained his ankle, give it 10-14 days and he'll be fully fit!



It could actually be a blessing, he will get a long rest, and then return with a few weeks of the season to go, get back upto match fitness, get back on form, and he'll be ready for Englands World Cup Starting 11

I just got the news that Rooney is going to be out for 2-4 weeks, so it looks like the injury wasn't that serious.

Thank you Jagger69 for taking the time to actually read this thread and put in a good list of players instead of doing what most Americans did and put a list of NFL stars in.

Personally, I think the best American player is Clint Dempsey.

Duncan Ferguson

Dempsey is awesome, but Landon Donovan is the best, he is USA Soccer.

Looking at the USA national team on paper, the England Vs United States game at the World Cup isn't going to be as easy as some English people think!

They are alot of Americans players who would fit into a team that finishes between 5th and 8th, like an Everton, Aston Villa or Tottenham.

I'm generalizing here, but as is the case when I generalize, I don't give a shit: 90% of Americans believe soccer is irrelevant. So if you ask us to name our favorite footballers, these are the responses you're going to get. And don't let Jagger fool you. If he had to choose between an NFL game or an MLS game, he'd be watching American football. The rest of the world might enjoy the game you call football, but as a whole, we damn sure don't. Ask Beckham how much we care about it over here...

You said football and not soccer so...

1. DeAngelo Williams
2. Peyton Manning
3. Steve Smith
4. Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson
5. Phillip Rivers

I've never heard NFL players being referred to as footballers as it is more of a European term, I think he was just being ignorant.

Thanks my brother. I'll probably get another 3 day ban for that, but like I said when I got my last one for defending the lovely Bree Olson by insulting some chump who flamed her, it was so worth it!

While your latter statement is undeniably true AR but I can assure you that I am most certainly not trying to "fool" anyone. Here in Houston the Dynamo have been 2-time MLS champions and we are currently building a new stadium for them. They have become huge in H-town....with the Hispanic base to support them and all. I freely admit that I am undeniably not the biggest soccer fan in the world but I do follow the MLS in a more-than-casual fashion and I am a Dynamo fan.

The original poster asked a question and I answered it. I don't really follow NASCAR either but I would have no problem replying to a similar question about that "sport" as well.

Let's not always play the ugly American when we don't really have to. And we wonder why most of the world hates us?? :dunno:

Thanks for the kudos Big Poppa but the original question was not about who is the best soccer (er....football) player but instead who is your favorite (favourite?). So that's who I listed.

...your latter statement is undeniably true AR...

Sorry, that's the only part I read. :tongue:

I see your point. Kudos to you for supporting your team. There's no MLS franchise in Indiana for me to follow. Besides, I get plenty of disappointment from the rest of my teams already. Why burden myself with another one?

And I do follow soccer whenever it involves our national team. I'm trying to get a Jozy Altidor jersey before the World Cup starts but apparently my options are Donovan or Dempsey.

More props/respect for not following the abomination that is NASCAR. I'm surprised you haven't been kicked out of Texas yet...
