Michael Owen - Career Over
 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...nd/5100516.stm

Check the radio 5 feed. Dam the guy is fucked. He was a wicked player. Seems like it is all over. He maybe a multi-millionaire but I bet he still wants to play.

He is only 26. I feel so sorry for him. I remember when he was banging in hat tricks against Germany.

i loved that player when he was 18 or something! The youngest in the team.

Ouch.... Gotta suck.

Imagine how he must feel now.

I don't think his career is over, just his World Cup

They reckon his knee has totally gone. Listen to the feed. That is the doctor who operated on him an hour after the match.

yep thats probably more right

that sucks! Owen was great

I concur!

He hasnt played properly since December, listen to the feed.

I hate to agree with Relish XXX but hes probably right. Anyone whos ever had a serious knee injury knows that athletes never come back quite right after several surgeries.

awww damn he might have to get a real job once all the money he made dries up in 10 years.. schucks!

may be this is only WC. Besides everything ends. Sooner or later

that's tragic man...

ouch, well thats a big lose for england...

Agreed. He is still young

That's really fucked up... I hope he could still play, even if it's not for this season..

Thanks, Owen has had a broken foot, leg and now knee.

He is over. I think it is the greatest shame ever when he is only 26.

I hope he is not over, Ronaldo seemed the same, and he recovered ...

who???????

Damn, that was nasty. I knew it's a ugly injury when I saw it on TV. His knee slipped away, like he hadn't any ligaments. This is the worst thing, besides death, that a player can suffer. A lot of bad luck this boy has. Anyway, I bet he'll stay in football, as a manager or something. I liked him, it was a good player.

I doubt his career is over. It looks like he tore a ligament in his knee. That is usually a 9 month injury for most athletes nowadays. Hell, Daunte Culpepper tore every ligament in his knee last year and will be starting opening day for the Dolphins. This won't end his career.

:( england is fucked without him.. they mite get draws without him but not WIN. :Oh crap

holy crap, this shit is not good for him and for English team :Oh crap

go 49ers:thumbsup

that's certainly it, end of his sports career

uh i doubt his whole career is over

he could always pickup something to do online...

Na he world cup is over but players can come back from bad knee ligaments injuries!!

It's not the end of his career. It's a torn knee ligament. 9 months. Happens all the time in the NFL over here.

I hope he can come back, but with his age and the amount of surgery and time out he has already had he is never going to be as sharp and quick again.

It is a shame, it was 8 years ago he made his name against Argentina in the WC.

Hum..
Man those type of injuries suck....
Feel sorry for him :(

And it happens here too but Owen has had a bad time with injury as of late so things are piling on top of each other and 9 months is a long time in a football carear. Heck, look at Rooney people only give him two months to get back to playing.

Anyway, I hope it just is the World Cup but if not he has a broadcasting career lined up no doubt. If Gareth Southgate got one so can he.

he has been replaced already by Rooney

and then there will be Theo Walcott ( havent seen him yet though )

Ouch. He's only 26. Man, talk about frustrating.

lucky boy.......

which also leaves England alarmingly short of strikers... the Swede is in deep shit

:Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap

Compensation for Newcastle then ??

unlucky guy.......

that sucks, his career been going downhill since he left Liverpool

im going to disneyland

skysports just reported 5 months out.. thats no TO bad...
