The injuries are coming thick and fast and they are making the National fans yelp with agony. THe more disturbing factor for me is that it robbing the World cup of some serious talent. The first and the biggest shock was Germany's playmaker captain - Michael Ballack. He is an experinced capmaigner and was a central figure for their teams hopes.
Now add England Captain Rio Ferdinand to the list and it gets grimmer. The Defender was selected after John Terry lost the coveted armband after his bedroom antics. Now losing a captain just on the eve of a tournament is a hard blow to take.
Well, the bad news is till coming - Star attacker and lynch pin of the Ivory Coast - Didier Drogba has picked up a fore arm fracture. Only saving garace is there are slim chances that he may recover in time for the WC. And the latest news coming in says his operation has gone off well and he might be actually fit in time for the world cup.
One more injury really dismayed me is the one to Dutch winger Arjen Robben. He is such a brilliant payer that I feel it will hurt his team the most - especially when they are looking good for a decent showing at the Football World cup 2010.
Lets hope we are not hit by any more injuries and the Football World cup gets underway without any more bad news.
One positive could be that this could be the stage for new stars to shine on the world stage - is it time for new Roger Milla's, Messi' and the like to be discovered.
