Uh-oh.

The BBC reports:

David Beckham’s dream of playing in a fourth World Cup looks over after he tore an Achilles tendon in AC Milan’s 1-0 win over Chievo on Sunday. Beckham was unchallenged when he suffered the injury and hobbled off in pain before being stretchered away.
The 34-year-old was hoping to be part of England’s World Cup squad in June, but instead will fly to Finland on Monday for specialist surgery. “A rupture of the Achilles tendon is suspected,” said an AC Milan statement.
Consultant sports physician Dr Tom Crisp told BBC Radio 5 live: “It’s remotely possible he may be running in three months.
The chances of him being fit to play for England are non-existent.”

I’m as sick as a parrot. This is a massive blow for England. There’s still no-one, worldwide, who can cross a ball like Beckham. England are really going to miss that talent.

    We’ve all done it so many times before and got away with it, never realising the risk.

    And Posh is doing fine – she gave me a call last night – apparently, Helsinki has some fantastic boutiques.

    Sipho > Hmm. Not great.
    Shaun Wright-Phillips, I can cope with though.

  3. I am gutted. Here I was looking forward to hanging out with Vics and all the other WAGS. I hope she hasn’t cancelled her trip, she always makes me laugh when she tries to eat a salad with a syringe.
