Man U - Bayern

[mondatoo]

It makes me laugh all the "England fans" being pissed off that Rooney started because it could ruin their world cup hopes. ManUtd pay his wages not England. If he's injured they still have to pay his wages so surely its up to Fergie to do whatever he sees best to win the game. International football pisses me off. Players go on international duty come back injured for a serious length of time, ie Van Persie and the clubs get nothing so why should the clubs not play their best players at crucial times of the season if that is what the managers think best

[  ] This is true

Obv he can do what he want's but since England fans are looking forward to the World Cup and since no Rooney equals no chance surely we're entitled to care ?

Twice Torres has come back from games with Spain (friendlies or WC qualifiers) with injuries that took ages for him to recover from.  In fact, he's still recovering from the last one.

Same for Van Persie, as Dan mentioned, and a whole load of other players.  Whenever Gerrard plays for England, I'm hoping he doesn't get injured first and foremost before I'm worried about the result and if England win.

The clubs might get some compensation, but does it cover the costs of missing out on a key player for months?  How would Liverpool and Arsenal have faired this season if Torres and Van Persie had been fit all the way through?  How are manu going to get on without Rooney (not that I'm saying he was injured in an International, but key players being injured can hinder a team's chances of winning anything, if the injury occurs away from club duty, the club feels aggrieved)? 

I was just making the point that clubs do get some compo.Injuries are inevitable with all players and since International football isn't going to stop anytime in the near future then clubs will have to live with it.

Generally agree but Spain have made it interesting for me in the last two years.

The last WC was dross though.

Meh completely disagree a club championship would be no where near as interesting for me personally compared to the world cup. Also why would anyone do away with the most popular sporting event in the world.

I love the world cup as it is completely different to watching the same club sides who dominate the champions league.

There are more than that in the CL every season.

I like the idea of the world cup more than I actually enjoy it.  now i'm thinking that i cant waitfor the world cup but when it actually comes i will get bored with it very quickly.

Three or four There are more than that with the group games alone plus the fact it's such a short time period compared to 7-8 months.Plus it's pretty immense when England get to the quarters and the whole country gets overexcited before we blow it again.I love it and am really looking forward to it.

This probably sounds like a "if you don't have kids you don't understand" comment but i think if you support a decent football team then you have probably forgotten/ don't realise how good the atmosphere is before world cup games. In Liverpool the city may be buzzing on a champions league quarter final night but in places like Mansfield for example they don't really get that feeling anytime other than world cup games. Knowing that everyone is buzzing before a big England game is amazing.
The buzz>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the football

What price would Barca be to win the world cup?

I would take 3/1 for sure.

They play better than any international team by far.

Bit harsh? Seeing as international footy is part time and Barca are one of the greatest sides of all time.

Bleh.

A load of hooligans getting overly drunk and racially abusing anyone they think isn't English.

Not my idea of fun.

I spend the whole year loathing the likes of Asley Cole, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand etc, why should I suddenly want them to do well.

I dread the jingoism which would ensue if England win the World Cup.

COME ON SPAIN!
