indeed!

They'll be bringing him on when they need a last minute goal.

LOL at North Korea.

Someone won't be going back to North Korea after they get knocked out.

If you make a mistake, you won't just be losing a contract, you'll be losing your family!

Ferdinand knee injury.

Nothing like a bit of adversity to bring out the best in england.

Not looking good for ferdinand. On crutches, knee brace, dawson told to not to gon holiday.

Will be gutting for ferdinand if he's ruled out of the world cup.

Ferdinand is OUT of the world cup.

Just confirmed on Sky Sports, Dawson to fly out.

Well done Emile! Any idea what's happened for his knee to go? I've either he's twisted it funny or Heskey's had a shocker and gone high.

Captain Gerrard its time to step it up lad

I think they call that karma, the injury feigning b@stard

Fat chance. He'll be wondering if he'll be at Liverpool next season or somewhere else.

He's probably more worried about his house being burgled while he's out there.

On sky sports they're beefing about the bad preperation and bad luck for england.

But everyone knows england perform best in major tournaments when theres a 'crisis' in the build up.

Unlucky Camel Gob.

TBF to Dawson he deserves a WC spot. He has been much better than Upson.


As for Drogba.... It seems that the Nike ad is cursed. Who next? Ribery? Ronaldo? Rooney?

GQ came out on Wednesday, World Cup issue, ooops

Hopefully Ledley King's body is up to it, for me he's a better centre half than the incumbents anyway and given their form and fitness worries over the season the Ferdinand/Terry partnership was one I had concerns about.

Yeah of course it's just has to be Heskey's fault, nothing to do with biscuit boy himself.

Big blow for England and Rio. It's now time for Ledley King to step up and fill the centre back spot and for Gerrard to take the armband.

It's a much bigger blow for ferdinand than it is for england. This ws aferdinands last world cup and it will be a devastating blow, no doubt tears will have been shed back in his room at the training base.

But defence is one area where we are blessed. King, dawson, carragher we have plenty of adequate cover and king will step in and do as good a job.

Being captain will bring the best out of gerrard as he'll thrive on the responsibility.

Dawson has been the best English centre back this season.

Nice one Heskey

All i heard was it was a Heskey challenge that's done the knee? No idea if it was innocuous or not. I'm in the leave Heskey at home camp so this has made me chuckle. He probably isn't going to play, he definitely won't be getting us goals off the bench and it looks like his major contribution to the World Cup could be doing the captains knee.
