Broken Dreams
8th June 2006 at 10:37 am by LauraWhilst Rooney returns to Baden Baden with a hop, skip and a jump, spare a thought for French striker Djibril Cissé who has broken his leg just days before the World Cup is due to kick off. Talk about shitting in someone’s branflakes! He’s got to be the most unlucky bloke around.
I remember that gruesome match he played against Blackburn in 2004 when he broke his tibia and fibula. The bottom half of his shin dangled from his leg. Being a touch squeamish it was all I could do to keep my beer down! Apparantly a similar sort of thing happened this time round.
For the average bloke on the street playing in the World Cup is a fantasy, a schoolboy dream. Just imagine how it must feel to get the opportunity to make that dream come true only to have it snatched from you at the eleventh hour.
As the French say… Unlucky!

For this poor guy life is indeed a bitch right now (groan,,,). He is replaced in the French team by a certain Sidney Govou, Doesn’t have quite the same ring as Djibril Cissé. Compared to the gush about Rooney in the Brit tabloids the French press are practically self-censored on the loss of Cissé.
