not that it matters much, but thought ya'll might wanna know this...

broke that same thing becks broke a few years back

Wayne Rooney has been ruled out for a month after breaking a bone in his foot during England's Euro 2004 quarter-final defeat.

The Everton striker went straight to hospital for x-rays after limping off the field after just 27 minutes.

Rooney was injured in a challenge from Jorge Andrade and tried to carry on playing but in the end had to be replaced by Darius Vassell.

Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson confirmed that Rooney had broken a metatarsal - just as David Beckham did two years ago.

"It's the same injury as David Beckham had before the World Cup, he will be out maybe a month," said Eriksson.

England lost the game 6-5 on penalties after the score was 2-2 at the end of extra-time.
