We are now only days away from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and I officially have World Cup fever. I have been anticipating this for a LONG time and so it’s time to kick off Angry Trey’s World Cup coverage. Today I am going to layout some of the players you should be watching for.
Wayne Rooney, England- One of my favorite players, Rooney was named the 2010 PFA Players' Player of the Year after scoring 26 goals for Manchester United in 09-10 (2nd most in EPL) and leading them to a second place finish in the English Premier League. The only issue with Rooney at this point is health. He has been battling a nagging knee injury, but expect Rooney to put on a show in South Africa.
Rory Fallon, New Zealand- Ok, the only reason Rory made it was because we share the same last name. I honestly know nothing about him and have never seen him play but I stumbled across his name the other day. Here is some info from his Wikipedia page:
Rory Fallon (born 20 March 1982, in Gisborne) is a New Zealand international footballer who currently plays for English Football League One team Plymouth Argyle as a striker. He is the son of former New Zealand national coach Kevin Fallon.

Giorgio Armani said, "Cristiano is a great looking man with the perfect physique of an athlete. For me, he is the essence of youth – spontaneous, exciting, a real maverick. It is for his energy that I have chosen Cristiano to become the new face of Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear – for his youthful, exciting and yes, sexy, attitude."
Cristiano Ronaldo says, "I am very flattered to be asked to represent Armani; Giorgio Armani is a legend in the fashion world and I have long been a fan of his work. I am very pleased with the pictures we have done together - they are certainly striking and are full of an attitude and spirit that I can relate to."
The close union between Giorgio Armani and the world of sport, and particularly soccer, is well-documented. Over the years he has dressed many of the world's great players including David Beckham, Ronaldo, Luis Figo, Thierry Henry, Christian Vieri, Fabio Cannavaro, Andriy Shevchenko and Kaka'.
