Seriously. If another pundit, reporter, self-proclaimed-expert or general random individual says how much Rooney deserves our sympathy I swear I'm gonna go frickin' mental.
Okay, he broke a toe. Okay, he'll probably miss the world cup. That sucks for england and obviously for him. But it ain't a bloody tragedy, as some describe it. Hurrican Katrina was a tragedy. The tsunami was a tragedy. The battle of the somme was a tragedy. My Manta off the road for a week... (jus' kiddin'!).
Anyone else sick of this already ?

I have very little interesting in Football as a whole, but I sure as hell am not going to feel sorry for someone because they went and broke a Toe.
As you say, it's a pity for England that he won't be able to play, but I agree with you, it's not a tragedy, just unfortunate.
I'm actually more inclined to feel sorry for Gary Lineker and his wife at the moment.

I couldn't give a f###. He might be out for the world cup. Great. Does that mean the British national news needs to carry slow motion footage of him rolling on the ground on every bulletin?
This is why we Scots love to see England getting beaten. Because the media pulls obsessive s### like this, assuming the entire world is fixated on the World Cup. Alex Feguson gets interviewed after the game, and every question is about the bloody injury.

I don't know about the Irish or Canada, but at least one of the other four major English-speaking countries would really have trouble caring less about it. Which is a pity of sorts, it's really quite fun to watch.aldo wrote: Because the media pulls obsessive s### like this, assuming the entire world is fixated on the World Cup.

The abbreviation of "WC" reminds me of something else...aldo wrote:Actually, that line should have been

Basically the WC is the closest there is to a world event, because it has by far the highest viewing figures.
Not a soccer, baseball, football, hockey fan. But I do like watching basketball games.

Anyways, how in the name of f### is American Football 'football'?
Do they actually kick the ball in anything beyond a conversion position (and then, laughably, have to get a specialist to do that)? It's got even less to do with real football - original football - than rugby football (and they're sensible enough to call it plain old rugby) has. Hell, at least at rugby they don't need 10 pounds of body armour just to tackle someone.
