Zidane will be referred to this incident everytime he's mentioned as much as El Diego will be remembered for coke and the hand of god everytime someone brings up his name

Ripped off another site

Del Nido's the type of bloke who'd just have him rot in the reserves if he ever hands in a transfer request

Fabio Capello says thank you

If he's the type to crumble under some stupid "pressure" then Rafa wouldn't have signed him in the first place. Mentality and all that

He's the biggest crybaby in football, cries so often it's losing its meaning

Carvalho and Gallas should be there, don't know why the hell Henry is though.

Cambiasso no.1, Maxi Rodriguez no.2 (Following closely enough) Cambiasso goal ain't overrated at the slightest, wasn't about the amount of passes leading to that goal, it's the quality of those passes and the utter perfection of the build-up play and finish. That's football at its finest

Nowadays, even if you break your leg, the recovery means that the bone will probably be as strong as before. A knee though is a completely different matter, whether it's medial, ACL, or PCL, there are always complications.

Mendieta did his, didn't he? Two years ago I think with Boro. Where's he been since? Can only speak of ACL victims over here Down Under who plays Aussie Rules, ACL occurs a lot more often in AFL than in Football. There are two methods of an ACL surgery, one is of course as you mentioned: Removing part of the Hamstring Tendon to reach the ACL, the other involves some other tendon which I couldn't quite remember which it was. Many AFL footballers who's had ACLs and went through with the first method has had constant hamstring problems, almost chronic. It wouldn't be good for Mickey if that's the case But the rate of footballers down here recovering almost fully from ACLs have increased quite a lot in recent years, but of course there are also those who are never the same again.

Thought it was a superb article myself

Thank God that there's someone with common sense

Could someone link Lawton's article here please?

Rooney? Teammate? Was he wearing a Portugal shirt at the time? I don't think so Club football's club football, they were playing in the bloody World Cup FFS.

Who cares whether Rooney should've been sent off for the stamp or the push? The bottom line is he deserved to be sent off, it's just the English media try to put some hopeless spin on it to blame the ref for an "incorrect" decision The ref did the right thing, and Ronaldo did what most footballers in the world would've done: Rush over to the ref and ask for the bloke who stomped on your teammates' crown jewels to be sent off.

Legend is the Kaiser, best of luck in the future

The difference is your daughter of a mate of yours ain't famous So Bellamy will get off

And Ged's highly likely to become the new Aus manager, too, well, at least after his Lyon contract expires. Fantastic signing if we pull it off

*Sigh* What can be said about this? Really nothing

Never seen anyone who's so graceful and elegant on the ball, and makes everything look so simple and effortless Even Ronaldinho can't look that good on the ball.

Funny how the same player who's unfairly built up as "The key to solve all of England's problems and win the World Cup" will now be the one who's gonna get this s*** stain put on him for his entire career now Rooney deserved the sending off for his moronic behaviour but he wouldn't deserve the b******ing he's gonna get now, he shouldn't have been at Germany in the first place and should've never been stupid enough to be labeled by the dumb tabloid as the messiah to all things England, because he ain't

Prison slang?

You f***in' beauty
