he should also check up and find that it is a fifa ruling that all players who took part in the world cup have to have a 3 week break afterwards

but gerrard,torres,kuyt,babel,jovanovic,johnson,carragher,reina,maxi,masch,agger and co should have retired from international football.

Alrite then answer me this, if you but a Ferrari car, spend three million pound on it, put the very best oil and petrol in it, wash it and wax it every day, never take it out in the rain, never drive it faster than say 50 mile an hour or do more than say a thousand miles a year in it, would you then lend it out to your mate to rag round in it, risk crashing it and generaly not look after it. well thats what we are doing letting our players play for another team after we pay them, train them and look after them, tell me again how it has benefited Liverpool Football Club by allowing players to play in the world cup and also tell me how it's good for the club that Torres is going to return injured after we sacrificed the end of our season last season to allow him to have an operation when he clearly could of helped our season at the end.

So you think players should be stopped from playing in the world cup?

its very early to be drinking.

its saturday so its ok.

I think if a player wants to make himself available to his country the his wages should be halved straight away when he signs his contract. When you start paying twenty or thirty million pounds on a player then pay him in excess of 150k a week then sorry you cant afford to loan him out to another team when so much is riding on that player turning out fully fit and motivated for your club. You look at whats happend to our club over the years with players and International teams, we lost John Barnes to International football because of injury, we lost a few million on Cisse when he broke his leg playing for France just before we were going to sell him to Marseille,Mascherano sulked,moaned and was sh*t because the Argies were struggling to qualifty for South Africa and only decided to play for us when they qualified, remember the argument he had with the club coz he wanted to play in the Olympics, we missed out on possibly fourth place and winning the Europa league last season because we let Torres have an operation so he could play in the world cup so you see making players available for internationals has no benefit whatsoever to clubs. We are stiil waiting to see the hangover from this years world cup this coming season and there always is one.

Red4life firstly i think you should chill out and relax a bit ok mate? Everyone has an opinion and you dont need to get mad if you think its wrong. Secondly torres has done nothing wrong when he decided to take the operation because he was already injured anyway and couldnt play so there is no use if he did the op or not. Also torres or any other player in the world would be stupid to miss the greatest competition on earth. These footballers work day and night to even come close to making it to the team just to play for a game or two let alone win the world cup like torres has. You should be very happy and proud that one or two of our players have been crowned champions of the world which is a great achievement and should always be congratulated.

Your wrong Torres could of played out the rest of our season last season, he walked off the pich against Benfica he was'nt carried or limping off he walked off after winning us the game. Torres was quoted after saying he was having the operation now in order to be ready for the world cup, Xavi never had his operation but decided to put club before country and play the games against Inter Milan and also crucialy win the remaining games to stay ahead of Real Madrid to win the La Liga, same went for Zamora to play in the final of the Europa even though he needed an op and could of had an outside chance of playing in the world cup himself. It's called priorities and loyalties and your club must come first before anything else, so dont tell me to be proud of Torres winning the world cup because the price was at the expense of Liverpool Football Club.
