Rooney definitely won't be fit, so Sven Goran Eriksson should really stop saying that he'll "take him to the world cup if there's even a slight chance of him being recovered". So yes, England got screwed, but I think they already got screwed years ago when they started to import foreign managers and players en masse into the Premier League, halting the progress of English youth players. I can't think of any big English club that has more than one English striker in the squad playing regularly... and now they don't have a good substitute for Rooney... what a surprise. Their midfield is still great though, one of the best in the world, provided Sven does something useful with it. Also a lot more important than Rooney I'd think. In my opinion England would have a bigger problem if Lampard broke his foot... or Robinson (goalkeeper) for that matter.
