An England fans view

5 years ago, not many people had even heard of a metatarsal, never mind knew what it was. Today, you can barely open the sports pages of any newspaper without find a reference to it somewhere. For the uneducated, a metataral is a bone in your foot and its something that England footballers tend to break with alarming regularity, especially when a major tournament is around the corner. This year victim, as every schoolboy knows, is The White Pele aka Wayne Rooney.

There have been endless twists and turns. The Swede has definitely not picked enough strikers in his squad assuming Rooney still goes. Rules state he can be replaced up to 24 hours before England's first match. A recent scan showed the break is healing nicely but its not ready yet. He will have a second scan on 7th June, just 2 days before the deadline and a decision will be made whether to take him or not. Its definitely a risk to take him but he is such a talent, its difficult to leave him behind. Personally, I would have taken him although I would have made sure there were another 4 strikers in the squad.

Its not a World Cup unless the Jocks aren't involved. No, of course I don't mean actually sending a team, they are far too awful for that. I mean the endless drove incomprehensive, cross-dressers (kilt ??? No, it's a skirt you girl) banging on about how they will support whoever England are playing. They really are a very bitter and twisted nation. The latest sweaty to mouth off is tennis player, Andrew Murray. He was being interviewed on Eurosport at the weekend when he made his comments. Fair enough, he speaks his mind and says what he wants - I just hope the Wimbledon crowd remember his comments in a few weeks time and give him the support he deserves.
