Robben Hamstring Injury

ROBBEN DOUBTFUL FOR WORLD CUP

Holland coach Bert van Marwijk admits he is very concerned about the hamstring injury picked up by Arjen Robben in today's World Cup warm-up victory over Hungary.

Robben came on as a half-time substitute in the 6-1 rout at the Amsterdam ArenA and scored two goals before being forced off with the injury five minutes from time.

Robben injured?  It's a bit man-bites-dog.  But it is a shame because he's always so much fun to watch.

I guess we won't have to worry about will they or won't they play Sneijder and Van der Vaart together (which is Dutch for Lampard and Gerrard) but they'll miss Robben as he's been in the form of his life this season.

Arjen Robben Haunts Ferguson Again

Robben travelled to London and met with Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson. Ferguson's offer came in much too low for PSV's and Robben's liking; PSV chairman Harry van Raaij told Manchester United the most that their €7 million offer would buy them was a shirt with Robben's autograph. Almost immediately, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich offered € 18 million (£ 12.1 million), and PSV accepted...

On 7th April 2010, Arjen sent Bayern Munich into the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League with a stunning volley against Manchester United from the edge of the area into the corner of the net. The game ended 3-2 to United (4-4 on aggregate) with Bayern advancing due to away goals. This goal means there is no English club in the semi-finals for the first time since 2003.

Does anyone else think that Robben and Lance Armstrong look alike, or is it just me?
