First of all, no, this is not a gaming topic gone astray!
In fact, it has nothing to do with the fast-paced mutli-format racer whatsoever!
Unless you're one of those rejected people who are forced to live in the darkness of the sewers, away from civilisation as we know it, you'll no-doubt have noticed that England haven't exactly had the 'perfect' start in their World Cup preparations like Sven-Goran Eriksson and the fans could've expected. In fact, it's been far from it!
One-by-one, week-by-week, we've seen player after player drop out of the decreasing 23-man squad, making Eriksson and his staff sweat and sweat untill they canney sweat no more. Each time one player goes out, he's had to bring in a replacement from somewhere - even from back in Englagng, several thousand miles away. And with a good few of the players that have been hit by this highly contagious Injury Plague, their World Cup dream is over for now. But at least the likes of Beckham are recovering!
As I type this now, not one person has come forward with a logical explanation as to why this is happening to England, and why it is repeatedly hitting them, over and over again!
We've heard a bit of talk about a Korean curse all to do with the no.4. But that only counts for the players who have worn the no.4 shirt - Steven Gerrard, Nicky Butt and Danny Murphy. What about the rest of them, eh???
No one believe in curses and magic anyway! And if there is an explanation for all this then it's gunna have to be something that applies to the whole England Squad in general, and not just a select one or two.
If you're going to find out what's casuing so many reccuring injuries amongst the England squad(s) then you're gunna have to look at what casues these types of injuries.
A large majority of injurys are casued by bad challenges and accidents or falls around and about.
I can remember that disgracefull, yellow card-bound (BAH!!) challenge on Beckham in the Champion's League that broke the bone in his foot - from another Argentinian - but as far as I know, there's been nothing quite like that since the Premiership season ended, and the real World Cup preparations began.
I very much doubt that Beckham somehow travelled to Japan and South Korea (aka 'Jap-Korea') and spread the injuries like a cold! So there's no real logical explanation there as to why a whole team full of players has gone down.
What about the Premiership Burnout???
Did you ever hear of this? It was talked about around 2/3 years ago at the end of a season where the likes Michael Owen had been working there socks off all season, and were absolutley shattered when it came to World Cup time.
This 'Burnout' effect would basically occur amongst the more hard working and consistant players who put in 100% effort right from day one to no.38 throught a whole Premiership season in the Title Race.
Could you go a whole 38+ weeks straight and not fell the strain???
Well, it unfortunately doesn't end there for the Premiership's big boys!
The bigger you are, the more competitions you participate in, which also means you have more and more games to play than any average or team or below would have on an annual schedule.
These extra Cup games don't come any easier, and it's even worse with the added mixture of talent and determination you must fight against in Europe!
A team like Man United must average around 60 games a season - if they go far in the FA Cup and Champion's League ontop of the Premierhsip alone!
Imagine how you'd feel, I bet that's how van Nistelrooy feels.
You must have noticed how he slowed down in his scoring rate towards the end of the season, for £19m he's been a real bargain with an incredibley high amount of work-rate and goals scored!
Could he have been effected by the un-intended 'Burnout' - caused by playing so many games!???
Imagine trying to struggle through a World Cup or the European Championships after a knackering season with your domestic club. It'd be like running through sand, or soaking wet grass and mud.
If you're forcing yourself through so much MORE hard work then you may not exactly turn out on the bright side after. You could end-up with a serious injury, that puts you out of action for the whole summer at least!
Have England been worked too hard after the most thrilling Title Race to date????
I think it's very possible that this explains why the big club players like Gary Neville, Kieron Dyer, Nicky Butt, and Steven Gerrard have seen their dreams fading away thanks to unfortunate injuries!
That's my view on England's pre-World Cup disaster, what's yours???
In fact, it has nothing to do with the fast-paced mutli-format racer whatsoever!
