Edit: Update - Looks like he is going to try to play after having surgery. Maybe not first game. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/s...901&ver=us

That crazy mf'er is gonna try to play with a broken elbow.

Pirlo is out too for Italy.

They're dropping like flies. What a f'n shame. Definitely a disappointment to see these big names dropping off.

I thought Ivory Coast had a really good shot at a deep advancement despite playing the group of death. Now, it doesn't look as good.

Hope he can play and play well.

Maybe it is not a so serious place that with his surgery he can play well and up to the expectations that he does on his club team for his national team. Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have both disappointed on the national team side as well during their World Cup experiences.

Ronaldo got his team to the WC semifinals in 2006. He has looked bad in qualifying though
