Football Fever - Hotting up!

The World Cup fever has set in throughout the world. With just more than 10 days to go, most teams are focussed on doing a good job in the WC...and there is England, whose main focus is on getting Rooney fit for the World Cup.

Rooney has been told he is out of the group stages. And a scan on June 14th would determine if he could take part in the latter stages of the tournament. With Crouch set to start up front, it wouldn't be a surprise if England struggle to get past through to the next round.

But gotto appreciate the England FA's sense of humor. Seems they have already arranged the national team's victory parade that includes a visit to the Buckingham Palace.

Spanish striker Morientes, unhappy at losing his place in the World Cup squad, has decided to call it quits at Liverpool and has signed for Valencia. With Valencia striker David Villa on fire and responsible for Mori's exclusion in the national team, can Mori expect a starting place at Valencia?

Spain coach Luis Aragones was reportedly angry with captain Raul for wearing a yellow jersey at training. The man who fears the color shouted at his captain to take that off. I dont suppose Aragones can do anything if Spain happen to face 'yellow' Brazil in the quarters.


Spanish defender Del Horno, has played down his injury reports and says he is raring to go.
Just when Spanish hopes were staring to soar high!

It's just a matter of time before Ruud follows in the footsteps of Ince, Kanchelskis, Beckham and Keane - out of the club after falling out with Sir Alex. Sir Alex is looking at various swap deals involving Ruud although it's likely that Ruud would wanna choose his club. Watch out for Ruud trying to prove a point to Fergie this World Cup.

Chelsea seems to have struck gold in the transfer market this year. After many strikers refused to get lured by Chelsea's riches last year, they have signed Ballack on a free transfer and are on the verge of signing star striker Shevchenko. Sheva has decided to quit AC and come to the EPL just so that his son can learn to speak English! So then, its nothing about getting lured by the Chelsea money!


Nigerian wonderkid John Obi Mikel's situation appears to have finally been solved. Chelsea will pay more than £10m in "compensation" to Manchester United in order that he is released from his contractual obligations. With the Chelsea midfield already crowded with stars, I hope to see Mikel rotting in London just like SWP.

Why Chelsea always get the people they want? It's not fair for other clubs. If Chelsea continues like that, EPL will soon have a foretold conclusion... every season!

They have the money, they buy everything in sight !! But it's upto the players to decide whether they want to be second choice in a big team or first choice in another team !!! There are reports that Chelsea want RVn !! hope that doesnt happen :(

The Eredivisie's Shaun Wright Phillips, Salaomon Kalou is also about to move to Bridge to rot in rotation along with his english counterpart.

Looks like Kalou will be loaned out...he cant get a work permit...anyway, Sheva and Ballack will send a shiver down the spines of defenders.

Shevchenko comes to Stamford Bridge - probably sealing the fate of EPL next season!

Now Mourinho wants Roberto Carlos! Is Chelsea going to buy up everybody?

Roman can think about capturing a piece of land in the world map, throw some bigger bones to his loyal playing and managing dogs, make them citizens of that land and send a team to WC to challenge Brazil's dominance in the world stage.
