It's my fault for saying he never misses a game through injury the other day.

That said, I don't think he will miss a game and that's a worry. The guy's a freak and will play through the pain. I just hope he doesn't do any damage to himself and is 100% for the start of our season.

I did think that when I heard it this morning :D
 
It's a cruciate tear though from what I heard this morning, he's going to struggle to be fit for any of it let alone the England game if that's the case.

Uruguay supporters are sending Paul Dummett death threats on Twitter (he injured Suarez). :o

They're pretty bizarre though, to say the least.
 
So, can we assume from the squad numbers Hodgson is looking to go 4-3-3 with Gerrard deep and Rooney Central?

See Newcastle have contributed to the World Cup effort, Dummet for the best player award in the group stages :p
 
The England team looks a lot better than i thought it would look from about 6 months ago. We should be quite cautious of England now as they have a pretty solid team tbh. Wasn't worried at all when the groups were announced but it is definitely a decent team once Welbeck doesn't play that is :D
