A scan on Wednesday confirmed the worst fears about Owen's injury following his dramatic collapse early in the match.*lips quivers

See these are reasons why this year I'm totally avoiding getting wrapped up in the World Cup...I tend to get myself so stressed out I can't focus on anything. So...no more! I will just read scores and hear it through friends like you...*giggle*

Oh it is stressful. I was getting stressed last night about a game England didn't even need to win! They say sport is good for your health, football seriously isn't.

It can't be good for my health..no way..I mean when I think about it...after the last World Cup I got myself all worked up over, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure! Granted the doctors wouldn't accept The World Cup as the reason for it...they still to this day insist it is hereditary...I think differently!

I think it was the World Cup *lol* My Mum uses her high blood pressure as an excuse not to watch penalties.

It's impossible NOT to get into the World Cup when you live in England. You can't get away from it.

Well, we actually send everybody home and close stores and banks and schools and stuff for the games, so, you do the math... LOL
