Where is John Terry ?
WHERE WAS JOHN TERRY?
I've no idea what has happened behind the scenes regarding John Terry and England.
Conversations must have taken place and decisions made about him not being a part of the national team because any manager would want his best 11 players on the pitch for the big games.
No doubt there have been some difficult relationship issues behind the scenes.
But John Terry is in Brazil on a tour not World cup2014-15 Premier League fixtures released

I caused Cristiano Ronaldo’s knee injury –Nana Kwaku Bonsam
A
"witch doctor" from Ghana claims that he is responsible for the knee
injury that may limit Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo at the 2014 FIFA World
Cup.
Nana
Kwaku Bonsam, a Ghanaian witch doctor, told a radio station in his home country
that he used his “powers” to injure Ronaldo’s leg. The Real Madrid star’s bout
of knee tendinitis may keep him out of Portugal’s Group G opener against
Germany on June 16.
“I know
what Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury is about, I’m working on him,” Bonsam told
Angel FM in Kumasi, Ghana, according to a translation by the Guardian. “I am
very serious about it. Last week, I went around looking for four dogs and I got
them to be used in manufacturing a special spirit called Kahwiri Kapam.”
“I said
four months ago that I will work on Cristiano Ronaldo seriously and rule him
out for the World Cup or at least prevent him from playing against Ghana, and
the best thing I can do is to keep him out through injury,” he added. “This
injury can never be cured by any medic, they can never see what is causing the
injury because it is spiritual. Today, it is his knee, tomorrow it is his
thigh, next day it is something else.”
On
Tuesday, the Portuguese Football Federation revealed that Ronaldo was suffering
from left-leg patellar tendinitis, or “jumper’s knee,” in
addition to his existing thigh injury. The knee injury casts doubts over
whether he’ll be ready to participate in the World Cup opener, as well as how
effective he’ll be if he’s able to return.
Nani,
Ronaldo’s teammate on Portugal’s national team, remains optimistic about the
prolific goal scorer’s playing status. “We hope that Cristiano is in good
enough shape to play—and to help the team,” he told FIFA.com. “If for
some reason he is not there, whoever is there playing has to be confident in
their ability to get the job done. The World Cup is a one-of-a-kind challenge.
I want to be fully fit, and in top form along with my teammates.”
Ronaldo
remains “relaxed” about his injury situation, Nani added. Portugal is slated to
play Ghana in its final Group G matchup on June 28.

Cameroon players ready to take off for Brazil after bonus dispute
The squad, including former Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o, refused to fly to South America on Sunday morning.
But they eventually agreed a financial package with the nation's football federation after an emergency meeting.
The squad will take off from Yaounde at 21:30 BST, 12 hours late, and should arrive in Brazil on Sunday evening.
Team coach Volker Finke had said players were complaining that the £61,000 they were due to be paid for figuring in the World Cup was not enough.
After agreeing an end to the row, Cameroon Football Federation president Joseph Owona said: "Everything has been resolved.
"We have opted for transparency. There is no problem and I think the team needs to be mobilised for all to look in one direction."
Cameroon are in Group A with the hosts, Croatia and Mexico
