Street Novelist Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I decided to start a separate thread for World Cup soccer. Because all the teams are required to give their 30 man provisional roster to FIFA by tomorrow, I decided not to list all of them in the European Soccer thread. Quote Link to comment

Street Novelist Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 ESPN: WEMBLEY, England -- Germany captain Michael Ballack has injured his right ankle while playing for Chelsea in the FA Cup final. The midfielder will undergo tests Sunday to determine whether he will be fit for Germany's World Cup opener on June 13 against Australia. "It's not that good at the moment, but I have to wait until tomorrow for the scan, and then we will know more," Ballack said. "I went off and couldn't carry on, but it's not that bad." Ballack went down clutching his ankle after a challenge from Portsmouth's Kevin-Prince Boateng. Ballack hobbled off in the 44th minute. "It's not good in football when that happens, and nobody wants to see it," Ballack said. "He got away with a yellow and was lucky." Chelsea went on to beat Portsmouth 1-0 when Didier Drogba scored his 37th goal of the season, curling in a free kick off a post in the 59th minute. "We don't think it is a bad injury," Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said. "We hope he will be ready for the World Cup." Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Ballack To Miss World Cup With Torn Ankle Ligaments ESPN: FRANKFURT -- Germany captain Michael Ballack will miss the World Cup because of a right ankle injury, dealing the three-time champions a serious blow less than a month before the tournament. The German soccer federation said Monday that the 33-year-old Chelsea midfielder had torn ligaments in his right ankle from a tackle during his club's 1-0 FA Cup final victory over Portsmouth on Saturday. Ballack's ankle has been put in a cast and the federation said he won't be able to train for at least eight weeks. "It's very disappointing, but I have to accept it," Ballack told German television, standing with crutches. "It's football and you have to live with it. ... I am angry, clearly."
