As a Man United fan, and, more importantly and Englishman, the condition of Rooney's 4th metertasel (spelling...) is a subject close to my heart.

According to the official Man U website, Rooney will be out of action for 6 weeks...and the World Cup starts in 6 weeks from last Saturday.

Tabloids are describing it as the 'End of the world', so is this it for our World Cup dreams?
