Maybe, if he was reading a book or something, 'cause he's not injured, now Rooney's problem could've been caused by the boots yes.

marlene....yes, it is a very sad news indeed!!!! hey can you give me the link to the site where you got this information from? I have been searching all over but I could not find any news article concering this latest injury on  Ronaldo. I heard  he has been sidelined but I do not know the extent of the injury and how long it would take him to recover from it.\nAnyhow, I am really disappointed in this news. I know he is the BEST STRIKER in the world and to me he will always be one of the best alongside Romario but  seeing him going through so much hardships pains me so much. I really hope he does not make the mistake of joining the MLS which will put a black mark on his glittering career. Ronaldo is still one of the most fearsome strikers in the world and there are other big teams who would welcome him with open arms. If he wants a change ( which I think he needs one), he better join a team in Italian/ English/Brazilian league than humiliate himself by playin in the MLS. I will never lose my hope on Ronaldo as he is the "phenemeno" and only a "phenemeno" can get out of this mess and show the world what he is capabale of doing.

absolutely not!\neven if his foot does heal in time for the later stages, it will still be tender and after more than a month off, he will NOT be in game shape. so to throw him in there in a knockout stage game would be a big mistake.\nwhat a joke. they've picked a striker coming off an injury (Owen), a striker who is injured (Rooney), a striker who's never even played a single game in the EPL (Walcott), and Crouch. so what happens if Crouch gets hurt?\nwhat a mess!!!\ngood luck England.

England's chances of winning the World Cup are hanging in the balance after Wayne Rooney yesterday become the latest big-name footballer to suffer a foot injury.\n\nThe 20-year-old striker - England's most influential player - was carried off the pitch on a stretcher when he fell badly on his right foot after 82 minutes of Manchester United's 3-0 defeat at Chelsea. Rooney was later seen getting on to United's team bus before they headed back to Manchester, where he was due to have a scan on his right foot and ankle.\n\nThe seriousness of his injury was unclear, but it sparked immediate fears that it will prevent him playing in some or all of England's games at this summer's World Cup in Germany, which starts on 9 June. David Beckham and his teammates play Paraguay in their opening game in Group B in Frankfurt in 40 days' time. The England manager, Sven Goran Eriksson, Football Association officials and millions of fans across the country are hoping that the prodigiously talented forward - who is the hub of the England team - has not suffered a broken metatarsal in his right foot, the same injury which forced him out of England's last major tournament, the 2004 European Championships in Portugal.\n\nRooney's involvement in the game yesterday ended when he fell awkwardly after a tackle by Chelsea's Portuguese defender, Paulo Ferreira. He lay on the ground, in obvious pain, for several minutes before being put on to a stretcher and carried away, to loud applause from both sets of fans.\n\nIronically, it was another Portuguese defender, Jorge Andrade, who caused Rooney's first foot injury when he trod on him in the Portugal-England quarter-final in Lisbon, which England later lost on penalties.\n\nSir Alex Ferguson, the United manager, declined to speculate on how serious the injury was. 'We don't know. We'll have to wait until we get to Manchester,' he said. 'He's being looked after and we'll see. When a player is taken off we're always concerned, but hopefully Wayne's is not a bad one. It's a sore one, but we'll just have to wait and see. There's no point in making assertions at the moment.'\n\nIf Rooney cannot play in Germany, his absence will seriously diminish England's chances of capturing the World Cup for the first time in 40 years. Bookmakers have made them second favourites behind holders Brazil, but without the talismanic Rooney they would lack much of their creativity, attacking prowess and capacity to surprise opponents.\n\nIf the worst is confirmed, it will be a heavy blow for Eriksson, who is already concerned about the fitness of England's other main striker, Newcastle United's Michael Owen. He broke a metatarsal during a match against Spurs last December and has not played since.\n\nThe Swede also has injury concerns about Arsenal defender Sol Campbell, Spurs utility player Ledley King, Arsenal left-back Ashley Cole and Rooney's United and England colleague Gary Neville, who also picked up an injury yesterday. So, too, did Chelsea captain John Terry - England's first choice centre-half - but neither his nor Neville's injuries are thought to endanger their chances of appearing in the World Cup.\n\nA lengthening list of high-profile English players have suffered a broken metatarsal in recent years. Beckham, the England captain, did so in April 2002 while playing for United and appeared for England in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea three months later, despite being not fully fit. Foot injuries are increasingly common in top-level football, and are particularly troublesome because they mean that someone who has one cannot put his weight comfortably on the foot concerned.\n\nEriksson has to submit a provisional list of 23 players for the World Cup to Fifa, football's world governing body, by 8 May, with a final list a week later. Rooney's predicament may cause him problems similar to t

Yes, David Nugent of English club Preston broke his metertasal in his foot and it healed in exactely 6 weeks. But it really depends on the person.\n\nROONEY IS GOIN 2 THE WORLD CUP AND WILL SCORE A HAT TRICK IN THE FINAL!!! :)

Real injury. David Beckham had it and Gary Neville had it. This is a common football injury. Ask anyone working in A&E. The metatarsal is the long bone from the ankle to the toe. There are five of them. Any nasty blow to the foot could do it or if someone steps on your foot while you are moving or twisting it.\n\nIf you are not a sports person, you could be walking reasonably well after a week although it depends on whether the bone is still well aligned or displaced

His physio said 8 weeks before he can kick a ball -- that alone puts him back until the quarter final stage of the World Cup. This doesn't include time to regain strength, balance, touch, etc. If he comes back too soon he risks breaking it again, possibly worse. He'll be in Germany I'm sure, but I can't see him playing without considerable risk of injury. Or at least, he will not be 100%, that's for sure.

No, the word is that he has a ruptured cruciate injury and that usually takes 9 months to recover from.  So don't expect to see him back in a Fulham shirt until next season.

Buying the right kind of cleats is an essential skill for any ultimate player. A poor choice could result in severe blistering, ankle problems, and even injury. Because there have been so many questions posted about this subject, I decided to take a survey using the rec.sport.disc newsgroup. In total, over 60 people responded, giving information about their favourite cleats, what they like about them, what they don't like, how they think cleats should be improved. The results of this survey are shown below. \n\nThe biggest challenge I had was organizing the information into a format that people could use effectively. I decided on choosing the five most popular cleats and outlining their plus and minuses. Keep in mind that all these comments are based on concensus. There will undoubtedly be players who disagree with some of the results.\n\nBelow are some useful comments made by players:\n\n\n\n"I usually get leather cleats big enough to shrink a little, then I soak them down and wear them while they dry. They get broke in pretty quick and the leather is soft, light, and comfortable. Right now for soft mud I have a pair with six removable cleats, and for everything else I have one with about thirty-something molded cleats."\n\n"It really comes down to what you feel comfortable with and what gives you the best traction on the type of turf you are playing on."\n\n"Seems like you need two sets. One for soft flat fields, screw ins, and one for rock hard baylands cement. I've thought of this alot and have come to a couple conclusions: Football vs soccer screwins. Football design makes more sense for the type of cutting we do on the field. A good receiver or d-back football style will last longer than the soccer do. Made for more abuse by the cuts instead of ball control. The toe cleat on a football cleat is important in cutting. High or midtops recomended. I see so many ultimate players with these lite soccer shoes wearing those damn ankle braces it makes me sick. You'll get much more protection with integrated mid or high top support than adding a bulky uncomfortable brace. Getting the shoe that fits your foot is the main thing. And not a cheap pair either. It's your feet-- take care of them."\n\n"If you get too much traction, knee injuries are knockin' at the door."\n\n" The difference in comfort and the process of being broken in is entirely different when there is a nice leather shoe versus a synthetic shoe. That is one of the reasons I like soccer cleats more than football cleats."\n\n"Keep the distance between your foot and the bottom of the shoe to a minimum - it decreases the chance of rolling your ankle. The problem this poses is a matter of comfort for the bottom of your feet."\n\n"While some folks will choose one pair for tourneys and one for practice, I prefer to alternate each time I play... with ultimate five days a week (two practices, two summer league nights, one pick-up) in the Summer, it helps me to maintain the upkeep of both feet and shoes to switch up cleats"\n\n"Soccer cleats in general work well as long as the ground is soft/gives a little. We've had several seasons in the past few years where the fields have gotten excessively hard after a drought period. With soccer cleats, this hard ground can cause a lot of problems from the impact with the ground. I had some trouble with my knees last year for this very reason. Shorter studs, and more of them, is good because it more evenly distributes the impact."

i believe it was a hip problem but the other guy could be correct. anyway he had to retire because of injury.

He's already feeling guilty about his injury and letting his nation down when needed most. If England wins the world cup, recoverying will be fast and easy for him, if not it may take a long while to recover. I guess Newcastle will understand what Mike is going through right now and be there for him as he recovers. Afterall, he was on a national assignment when he got injured.

Yes a fan did play for west ham once !!! It was near the end of a season, could of been the last game i think, and he was giving Harry Redknapp a load of stick. So harry said if he could do any better he'd better put a shirt on and do it .So he did !! \n\nCan't find nothing on the net to support it, but i think he has a autobiograthy out so it might be in that !!!\n\nGood luck

He's so important to England the F.A. will do a Beckham on him. They'll take him and hope he recovers in time to play after the group stage. Does the injury harm Englands chances?. You bet it does.
