JOHANNESBURG -- Portugal winger Nani has been ruled out of the World Cup because of a bruised left collarbone. The Portuguese soccer federation said Tuesday on its website that the Manchester United player is unfit to play despite receiving treatment for several days. The federation says it has asked FIFA to replace Nani with Benfica winger Ruben Amorim. The federation didn't say when Nani was injured, but he played in the second half and scored in Portugal's 3-1 win over Cameroon in a friendly at home on June 1.
I'm seriously waiting for Clint Dempsey to fall down the stairs and break his neck or something. It seems like everyday a big star is going down in some ridiculous training session or a warm up game. First it was Becks then Ballack, Drogba, Rio Ferdinand, Arjen Robben and every other big name in soccer. It sucks. There's no other way to describe it other than it fucking sucks. The World Cup is when the best players play on the biggest stage for all of earth to see and knowing that a lot of the stars aren't playing is a bit of a buzz kill. I feel like I've been pre-gaming at my house for a super big party, got in the car to go and then I get a text that said, "sorry bro. Party's off. Donahue fell over at wiffleball and popped his knee again." Now I'm just drunk and no where to go.
