He has a knee sprain and second degree damage to the medial collateral ligament.

So, he did not injure the ACL for the third time, it's a different ligament. He should be out for a while but it's not as bad as people feared. Hopefully he will be able to make it to the world cup.

:tup:

I think he'll be there. At worst it looks like 3 months out, so he should be able to get at least a couple of months of game time in Serie A to get back to match fitness.

Forza Beppe.

This isn't field hockey Bro :D

I expect Argentina and Brazil to make the Semis. I'd like to add Italy to that group as well. I want Spain to fail miserably (crashing out in the group stages or 2nd round), but I don't see it happening. Germany will go far, but they won't win.

Colombia (depending on how fit Falcao is), Chile, and France could spring a surprise, and Holland will flatter to deceive yet again. Portugal look interesting, but it all depends on how hungry and fit Ronaldo is. England will fail, and Uruguay won't do as well as people expect them to.

African and Asian teams will suck hard, as will The US and Mexico.

Italy
Spain
Germany
Brazil

Are most likely in my opinion for the semis. I know it's the most obvious choice (barring Italy) but I think it's that way for a reason.

Argentina would be my wild card but I doubt it, dat defense.

Holland and Uruguay no way. As for France and Portugal they barely even qualified. Chile are good but don't have the overall quality of the other teams.

Balotelli: "From England's NT only Hart and Rooney would be good enough to play for the Azzurri."

Personally i think Hart would be good enough only at cleaning Gigi's boots. :stuckup:
