Nani out of the World Cup.

Leiva

Really see this as a major blow to Portugal , they needed everyone fit as not the strongest squad they have ever had.

Caused injury doing acrobatic shot :rolleyes:

Frisbee

Lame

*runs off to change Fantasy team*

Players really are dropping like flies. You think a few days before the WC training and friendlies would be walked through.

Robben's injury for example was pure stupidity on his part, what was he doing trying to do that in a meaningless friendly? Same goes for Nani here.

Leiva

Frisbee it's a shoulder injury that's ruled Nani out .. Seems he done it whilst trying acrobatic in training ???

What the hell was he thinking .

CR 7

Broken collarbone. Terrible news.:(:(:(:mad:

Can imagine how Fergie would have reacted if he did it while training for Man U. Can imagine how he's going to react anyway....

Fecking hell, why you would even think of doing any sort of acrobatics in the final days leading up to the world cup is beyond me.

leninbenjamin

Ah that's a sickener. Would like to have seen Nani have a good World Cup, great player to watch when he's on form (and not scoring against Arsenal).

So Nani isn't okay?.......Isn't okay....isn't okay, Nani?

Porbably went for a regular kick and slipped on a pool of hair gel.

Apparently the pitch was so bad, they had to paint/spray it green to make it look proper for television cameras. Wonder if it had anything to do with his injury.

That's like something you'd see on Fr Ted

I'd be shocked if it actually was to do with the flip he does.

Big loss for Portugal, considering his form. Good for United though, rested summer. Can't say I'm too unhappy about it, although how long does it rule you out for?

About 3 months at the absolute maximum, but he should be back to full fitness after about 2 months, give or take a week.

tis a shame you always want to see the best players at the world cup and while i don't particulary like him, when on form he is very entertaining

That's his main problem - he's so inconsistent that he may not be that great a loss

Ah thats a pity... I thought Carlton Banks was having a great season and all.

Do we have to have a new thread for every injury?

I must have missed the Joel Altidore thread :pac:

Shame,i quite like him.

What the hell is going on with premiership players and the world cup!!

Ballack, Ferdinand, Mikel, Essien, Bosingwa, Nani all out Drogba breaks his arm fair enough looks like he might play, Torres mightnt be fit for some games...I dont remember a recent world cup with so many well known names missing at once

mike65

FIFA plot to steer either South Africa or North Korea to a shock win

Smegball

It must be the PL's unmaintainable debt levels which is causing the injuries!

SlickRic

i'm begging someone to interview Fergie.

A young Michael Jackson, yes.
Carlton Banks, not a bit of resemblance other than their skin colour.

Nani's cheeks are higher, ears are pointier, more defined jaw, lips are smaller and their hair is different..

That's only the face, they have completely different shaped bodies as well, Carlton is short and stocky, whereas Nani is tall and lean.

Of course he will be. Dont be stupid.

I was really looking forward to see how he would get on with Portugal.... his form has been excellent since he has been given a good run in the team. (A bit like Forlan, the one time he started 8 games in a row, he scored 6 goals for us, I believe).

Really dissappointed he is out. Having a good world cup could have done him no end of good for next season.
