Injuries dominate World Cup News -Who’s next???
England’s Captain, Rio Ferdinand is out of the World Cup due to an injured  knee ( Friday ).
Didier Drogba is a serious doubt for the finals after hurting his elbow.
Drogba was hurt in a friendly against Japan and another top player, midfielder Andrea Pirlo, will miss Italy’s opening Group F match against Paraguay on June 14 with a calf problem.
Nigeria midfielder John Mikel Obi has been ruled out of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa with a knee injury.
Mikel joins fellow Chelsea stars Michael Essien and Michael Ballack in missing out through injury.
The 23-year-old underwent minor knee surgery in May and feels he has not recovered sufficiently.
“We have dropped Mikel from the squad after he said he did not want to risk his career,” said a Nigeria spokesman.
Drogba Out of World Cup?? – Could be a Disaster for South Africa
Africa’s World Cup has its first possible disaster.
It was revealed Friday that the injury which forced Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba out of Thursday’s friendly against Japan in Sion, Switzerland, is a broken right elbow.
Team doctors have not yet ruled Drogba out of the competition, it’s clear that his World Cup is over.
‘He had a lot of pain,’ said Ivory Coast boss Sven-Goran Eriksson. ‘Of course I’m worried. He’s captain and one of the world’s best players. It was unlucky. It wasn’t bad or stupid. He (Tanaka) didn’t want to hurt anyone. Football is a game of contact.’

Only allowed beers at Lunch leads to strike -Was it an April Fools Joke?
I may be mistaken, but these Elephant statues that guard the entrance to the Carlsberg brewery in Copenhagen, look a little drunk!!!
Workers at the Carlsberg brewery in Denmark are on strike after management handed down new rules about drinking on the job. Now, employees are allowed to drink beer only while at lunch:
The strike in Denmark followed the company’s April 1 decision to introduce new rules for employees on beer drinking at work, said Jens Bekke, spokesman at the world no.4 brewer.
“There has been free beer, water and soft drinks everywhere,†he said. “Yesterday, beers were removed from all refrigerators. The only place you can get a beer in future is in the canteen, at lunch.â€
Bekke said drivers retained an old right to three beers per day outside lunch hours, and warehouse workers claimed the same right.
“Because of that, the warehouse staff went on strike yesterday, with other staff striking in sympathy,†he said.
I believe the strike ended by noon because the workers were thirsty!!!!!!!!
Drivers can have three beers per day outside lunch hours???????????????????
Maybe teachers should strike for free beer at lunch to help cope with the stress!

Criticism of the new Adidas World Cup ball – The ‘Jabulani’ – Maxine and Whiners
But it’s the same for everyone!!!
England goalkeeper David James has joined his Spanish and Italian counterparts in criticism of the new World Cup ball, describing it as “dreadful” and “horrible”.
The ‘Jabulani’ has already been criticised by Iker Casillas and Gianluigi Buffon and James fears the movement of the adidas ball – particularly at altitude – will be a cause for concern for goalkeepers across the tournament.
James said: “The ball is dreadful. It’s horrible, but it’s horrible for everyone. You saw from Frank (Lampard)’s free-kick in the first half against Japan which dipped wickedly, so it’ll be interesting.”
The Portsmouth man fears he or another number one could be made to look foolish by the Jabulani.
“There are undoubtedly going to be some goals scored in this tournament which in previous tournaments with different balls wouldn’t have been scored,” he added.
“It’ll allow people to score extra goals, but leave some goalkeepers looking daft.”
Italy goalkeeper Buffon described the ball’s trajectory as “unpredictable” and insisted it would not just be goalkeepers who would suffer.
He said that a misplaced pass from midfielder Andrea Pirlo which would normally miss its mark by a few inches could be off course “by three metres”.
