I'm actually pretty gutted for him. Although he plays for Chelsea, he's one of my favourite players of all time and his run of bad luck is really unfortunate. I always enjoy seeing sides at top strength in the world cup, simply because it makes it a better spectacle.

Tommasi did it at Roma aswell.

I like Ballack aswell and was kinda gutted when he got injured too. Doesn't have the best of luck when it comes to WCs.

You can sense my disappointment cant you
