The best team! Not England... I don't follow football, but I just know there's no point in getting worked up over it, it's the same every year, the whole 'gallant loser' trip, and 'If that decision/penalty/corner/bar room brawl/ middle eastern war had gone our way, we'd have got it' analysis...\n\nWayne Rooney? My prediction is that he will be on the bench, then he'll try to play, then everyone will cheer, then he'll have to come off because it's hurting him.\n\nThere. I don't follow football, and I have an opinion on Wayne Rooney's ankle injury. That's the all-pervasive modern media for you. At least I can vent some of my spleen about that by moaning on this answer site ;) And where else am I going to voice the opinion I never wanted to have in the first place?\n\nSeriously though, may the best team win, and the best of our awful British luck to our lads...

if everyone else in the team is as committed as WAYNE ROONEY is for every game... then england can be world champions again (provided soon-go eriksson doesn't say stupid things to/about the players - best english team so far!).\nit's about time... few youngsters remember alf ramsey's 1966 world cup team which trashed germany 4-2 in the final. i predict a brazil - england final - england 3 brazil 2

Theo will get some playing time! First you have to think that England's front line is not as strong with out Rooney in the line up. Even if he is in, he won't be able to play 100 percent. I think that it is highly unlikely that he will be an impact at all. As of yesterdays training report he seems to be handling it very well ( Theo) and has even scored some goals which have given him a big boost. The other reason of why he will be in is that The coach has to prove why he brought him up to the Senior squad. He has not played in the Premiership therefore he has to justify it to England and the world. And believe me he will be fun to watch, and might be even get to score a goal.Remember that it's England's coach last time as head coach. He will want to leave a good impression. The question will be at what stage of the cup will he be in.

I think steven will do great this world cup, With him and Lampard in the middle England should be unstoppable. I know Rooney will do something special this world cup, I just know.

Crouch is not the answer, his positional play is dire.  How the hell is he is classed as an International quality player is beyond me.\n\nI'd play the Portugese with the same line up as we used against Ecuador.  Rooney looks like he's about to do something pretty special to me, and certainly doesn't look to be suffering from his injury.  Give him chance and he will shine.\n\nOne thing is for sure, it's about time the whole team started playing as such and showed more commitment than they have done of late (how much of that is Sven's lack of enthusiasm though?)

no walcott is a different type of player...more like Thierry Henry...skilful, fast and graceful. Rooney's game is a power game, he's the natural successor to Alan Shearer... I'd say the better question is - will Walcott eventually replace Michael Owen and be Rooney's permanent partner for England? The answer is likely yes but not for a while.

The England FC Doctors say that Rooney is healing very quickly, as do all healthy young people.  I think he may not play in the first couple of games, but if we get through to the quarter finals and beyond, he will be there -no problem.

Can only be Owen & Rooney if they're fit. Although Sven, being quite the out of touch Manager that he is, may choose to bring back the Vassell then let him mount Crouch the donkey and the two of them can ride off into the German sunset together. Beyond Rooney and Owen, I really hope he takes Defoe and Bent. Although, Ashton & Harewood might have a chance - whatever, I'm just a one-eyed, out of touch, dreaming Hammers fan who hopes to win a ticket to the World Cup by answering this!

He is expected to return just in time for the tourney. Will he be the same? Owen is injured again also. England will have to change their approach but are still loaded with talent. Lampard, Cole, Wright -Phillips, Gerrard etc. Rooney was not the heart but he was the fire.Erickson does not know what to do. I don't think they are favorites but they can get to the semis and take it from there. Good Luck to them.

Wayne Rooney or Ricardo Kaka...those two boys got it!

'Taking the piss'!  I like that.  No Walcott will not play much (unless he excells, which no one really knows how he will do, not even Sven).  Defoe will be called into action, Rooney will not even come close enough to gamble on.  So you will be looking at a strike force of Defoe or Crouch and Owen if he lasts, then Walcott.  \n\nIs Sven Drunk.. maybe, his justification for taking Walcott sounds as though he took a couple wabbly pops. So yes.
