What Chance Does England Have For The World Cup 2010 Victory?
Regardless of what many people are saying England still have a great chance of wining the Football World Cup 2010. Of course they do. England has as much chance as any other team of winning in this tournament. Let’s see why.
Why are so many people writing England off the World Cup 2010 victory?
The answer to this could be because a few topplayers have been injured at the last minute before World Cup kickoff. Who are these players that have been injured and thus lead people to think England has no chance of victory.
The England captain Rio Ferdinand has suffered injury to his knee causing ligament damage. This came about in training and considered the biggest upset for England hopes. Ferdinand has been ruled out of the team for the greatest world sports tournament. The sombre look of many fans are realised as they see Ferdinand leaves the Netcare Fearncrest Hospital.
Ferdinand said of the injury “It was just a freakish accident really,” How minor was this tackle by his team mate EmileHeskey? This question will be asked time and time again. Well, an ligament damage is an ligament damage, yes? Who is to replace Ferdinand? There are three contenders for the replacement of Ferdinand: Ledley King and Jamie Carragher,or even Michael Dawson. This shall be seen on the day when England play United States in Rustenburg.
Who are some of the injured?
David Beckham has been signed off with an achilles injury so he won’t be playing. England still has Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard to take the team forward to victory. We also have David James with theNumber 1 shirt as goalkeeper but maybe. Both Joe Cole and Gareth Barry will experience South Africa.
There is still hope for Fabio Capello’s side to lift the trophy on come July 11. Why because Joe Cole said so.”When players are not being picked on reputations and the manager is choosing his team solely on form, fitness and temperament, that is when you get the better team ethic and things gel together.” True to say, with some new faces on the England bench with a desire and a passion to win could indeed raise hope for World Cup victory.
