The (geeky) World Cup Anthem

Well if you're an England supporter, as many of you are, you've probably heard the official Embrace World Cup anthem by now. Here's an unlikely competitor.

The curse of the metatarsal

England supportes might be beginning to think their players' feet are jinxed. Wayne Rooney now faces an uphill battle to be ready for the World Cup. Sven Goran Eriksson has said he will pick Rooney in his squad even if he's only fit for the World Cup Final. Perhaps he only needs to be fit to hobble on in the 120th minute and take a penalty.

Fair's fair, if England loses one of its best players, all the other teams should also give up one player. If you could eliminate one player from each of the other main contenders for the World Cup, who would you choose? Post your comments below...
