Broken foot dashes English World Cup dream

England’s hope of winning the World Cup rested heavily on Wayne Rooney. He was anticipated to be one of the stars of the summer’s main show.

However now the English dream looks perilously close to end in shatters after the player broke his foot on Saturday.

His club Manchester United confirmed the striker will be out of action for six weeks – just in time for the World Cup to start.

The question is will he be fit to lead England’s challenge by then? I am not holding such high hopes. However let’s see how it goes. As it is, I didn’t think England will lift the trophy – with or without Rooney.
