Everyone's pinning their hopes on the England players for the World Cup, but we'll need to be lucky at more than penalties. Beckham won't be playing thanks to a snapped Achillies' tendon, and there are worries about Rooney's groin and ankle too. Are footballers more susceptible to certain injuries? Do they train too hard before big matches? And how are such injuries affecting all our involvement in sports?

Join us for Science London's World Cup themed discussion, with sports injury expert Nicola Maffulli, from Queen Mary's Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine.

This is your chance to quiz the Prof about those all-important footballer injuries, followed by your usual science chat and goings-on until the bar shuts!

Although mainly for adults, this event is open to anyone over 16 yrs, and everyone should enjoy this event. And - most importantly - IT'S FREE!

No need to RSVP or book tickets - just turn up!
