It may not be Nike's fault, but now they're being blamed for the Rooney injury by Liverpool'sCraig Johnston:
"These injuries are a direct cause of the studs sticking when they should be releasing."
Funny thing - Johnston worked on the adidas "Predator" shoes, so I'm not sure he's exactly unbiased.
I know that adidas have had problems with their footwear as well.




Last world cup it was Gerrard, his Predators made from kangaroo skin stopped him quicker than his bones could.
