Ferdinand out of WC

[immense]

but the injuries are there and if we progress out of the group i can't see him playing in such quick succession

Best news of the tournament so far! (Other than Scotland not qualifying!)

The bitters in this thread is hilarious. Come now, Ferdinand was always going to be 1st choice, he's comfortable on the ball, he's experienced at international level and he knows how to play with Terry. It IS disappointing Ferdinand won't be going.

... It's just a shame nobody from Spain is injured!

They'd win anyway

Robben highly doubtful now, they're dropping like flies.

Any genuine England fan would feel the same way. I hate Jamie Carragher so much, he's the most disrespectful footballer and what he has said about England in previous years is disgusting. However, I don't want him to be injured for the benefit of England as a whole.

Lass - France
Drogba - Ivory Coast
Ballack - Germany
Robben - Holland
Pirlo - Italy
Ferdinand - England
Mikel - Nigeria?

I think that's it so far. A Lot of injuries to key players. Robben and Drogba could still play I think though.

Cesar injured himself the other day for Brazil, don't know the extent of it though. Altidore is a doubt too. Suazo for Chile too.

Skrtel has just injured himself too.

Can't see this making too much of an impact, i think Capello should fly R' Adam out tonight.
