Me too with Argentina, when it comes to national teams. Have been supporting them since Italia'90, when they were unluckily beaten by the Germans by the disputed penalty with 5-10 minutes remaining, I think. I faintly remember Maradona's heroics in Mexico'86. I was only 8 yrs old then.

Rooney looks very tired, drained: Capello

LONDON: With 2010 football World Cup finals being less than four weeks away, England boss Fabio Capello has said that he has inherited a shattered and drained Wayne Rooney.

England's chances of winning the World Cup rest on Rooney's performance and in the last few weeks, the 24-year-old striker has fought to play despite knee, ankle and groin injuries.

Capello said: "He has played a lot of games this season. At the end of it he looked very tired."

The Italian believes Rooney probably needed more rest after injuring an ankle against Bayern Munich and returning to England on crutches.

Rooney was back for the return leg of the Champions League quarterfinal a week later but groin problems followed, the Daily Express reports.

"After the ankle injury, the balance of his body was not the same, so it is easy to get injured," Capello said.

Now Capello believes Rooney must rest and recuperate in order to fire on all cylinders in England's opening World Cup game against the USA on June 12.

The England manager insisted: "I think Rooney will be fit in a short time. I hope so because he is a very important player for us."

Capello and his staff will monitor Rooney closely in the Austrian Alps and he could be rested or used sparingly in the two warm-up games. England's head coach is hoping the camp will recapture the spirit, which helped the team qualify for South Africa so emphatically.

Ballack out of the World Cup

Re: The Official 2010 Fifa WorldCup Channel

Injured Ballack ruled out of World Cup

BERLIN — Germany captain Michael Ballack has been forced out of the World Cup finals due to an ankle injury which has sidelined him for two months, the German football federation (DFB) said Monday.
Chelsea forward Ballack was told he could play no part in the June 11-July 11 finals after a scan revealed the severity of an ankle injury suffered in the FA Cup final win over Portsmouth on Saturday.
Ballack limped out of the FA Cup final win after a heavy tackle and was left sweating over his World Cup chances despite X-ray scans revealing no broken bones.
Prevented from undergoing a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan Sunday due to heavy swelling, a scan Monday by DFB doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt finally brought the news Ballack did not want to hear: an eight-week layoff.
The DFB said in a statement: "His right ankle will have to be immobilised and put in a plaster cast. He will then have to wear a special shoe for a further two weeks."
At 33 years old, the South Africa finals would likely have been Ballack's final World Cup campaign. He has 98 caps and 42 goals to his name,
Ballack is one of Germany's most influential players and news of his impending absence will not go unnoticed by Germany's World Cup group opponents Australia, whom they face in their opening game on June 13.
Germany will also face Serbia and Ghana in Group D.

so sad ...
