There is a God

John Terry may be out of the World Cup after suffering a broken foot:
John Terry has been taken to hospital after suffering a bad blow to his right foot that could rule the defender out of England's squad for the World Cup.

Fabio Capello already has injury doubts over a number of players, including Gareth Barry, and Terry can now add himself to the list after a possible metatarsal injury that he suffered in a Chelsea training session at Cobham.
Terry is easily one of my least favorite players in the world. He is a key player in England's defense and with questions already with Rio Ferdinand's health could make for trouble for Fabio Capello's side. Let's also remember who they play in the first game.

I'll have more World Cup coverage since most teams released their preliminary squads yesterday.

UPDATE: Terry does not have a broken foot and will try to play this weekend.

How Sick...

...would it be if the best players from La Primera took on the best players from the Premiership?

What would the rosters look like?

La Liga:
-----------Casillas------------
Alves---Puyol-----Piqué---Arbeloa
-----------Senna--------------
-----Xavi---------Kaká---------
Messi--------Villa--------Ronaldo

Subs: David Silva, Iniesta, Agüero, Ibrahimovic, Marchena, Albiol, Valdes

How many subs do you get?

EPL:
--------------Freidel-------------
Bosingwa---Terry----Vidic-------Evra
----Lampard---Fabregas---Giggs----
----Rooney-----Torres----Arshavin--

Subs: Lennon, Tevez, Essien, Drogba, Vermaelen, Dunne, Howard

There's a plethora of talent that was untapped. The Primera is obviously dominated by Barca and Real. I snuck in some Valencia and Atlético players as well as Marco Senna from Villareal. There were some huge names i Left off. The Premiership has a Big Four bias, but both goalies I took are from non-Big Four sides. Probably the biggest missing player in this is Steven Gerrard, who I replaced with Aaron Lennon. I think Lennon gives something different to the club than Gerrard.
