Another one gone?

Reports are Drogba is out of the WC

Breaking news on SSN. Broken his right arm.

 

[Harbro-Fox]

I heard it was his elbow, serious doubt. Hope he is ok and can play.

Sky report

Manchester City's Toure said he was informed of the news by Drogba himself.

"For him, he said, the World Cup is finished," said Toure.

I hope every other nation loses all their big stars.

No chance.

I think the world cup is all about seeing the stars, and watching the best players from around the world, Drogba is a amazing player, be devastated if he is out.

I'd rather we have had every chance possible to win the World Cup.

Wanna see stars every week? Watch the Champions League.

Would be better for our chances, but if the best teams don't have their best players, then could we really claim to be the best in the world?

The champions aren't always the "best". Look at Greece, they won Euro 2004 but weren't labelled as the "best team in Europe". According to FIFA's world rankings, we are the eight best team in the world, even if we won the World Cup we wouldn't move to #1.

If you're devastated at a footballer being out of the world cup, I dread to think how you will react when something serious happens in your life :icon_conf

Sorry. Maybe devastated was a bit strong of a word to use.

Ture.

Fair point, but you see where I'm coming from?

Yeah I do mate, but at the end of the day all I want to see is us as World Champions, now matter how we do it.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

**** Drogba, he's a mardy **** anyway...

 

[Hazzman]

Drogba is the don bar the diving.....a little piece of me cried with Ivory Coast shirt on.

 

[MHS]

Drogba's Chelsea team mate Jon Obi Mikel is out of the Nigeria squad due to knee injury. Does this devastate you Harbs?

 

[Graz]

I'm gutted about Drogba being out

I have a bet with my brother that Ivory Coast will finish above Portugal in their group... Drogba being out makes my odds worse!

 

[LCFCmonkey]

Now Arjen Robben might miss the tournament due to a hamstring injury!

 

[Boy Genius]

and Rossi for Italy seems doomed.
