I'm not bothered about Manchester United here, I'm bothered about England
He's supposedly out for up to eight weeks, which means he's out for the rest of the season.
But will he be back for the world Cup? my poor math skills worked out that he should be back during/after the world cup.
That's if the World Cup lasts for 2-3 weeks as I was told.
Can anyone confirm anything for me? Other than Deportivo are the biggest bunch of wanyne kers that I have seen in my entire life.
I'm not a happy bunny.
It happened even before the challenge actually connected, as he tried getting out of the way. As the player comes flying in you see Beckham's rear foot hit the ground and then he goes over.
It's not the landing, but just before the collision.
He didn't even land on it as he fell. Maybe the damage was done by last week's challenge, and just the jarring of the fall caused the bone to actually break?
What a shame!
Like he needs the money anyway!
We still have Gerrard and Scholes in midfield, but we don't have quality to play on either the left or the right.
Our strikers will have to be on top form, as simply, we won't create as much.
We can still get past the first round, I'm confident of that, but it would be easier with our strongest team.
Sure, Beckham has done a pretty good job as England captain, but there are many other good players in the England squad.
Sure, they'll see it as a blow, but how must they feel to read things like "Beckham's out - our World Cup hopes are gone"?
Football is a TEAM game, and whether you give them a hope in the World Cup or not, England are not a one-man team. The right side is nowhere near as much of a problem area as the left, so there will be ample cover available.
And - unless we think that our only hope of getting anywhere is to score from every free-kick awarded - there are many other players capable of scoring goals.
As unfortunate as it is, you'll have to excuse me for not seeing it as *that* big a blow.
But it's a risk to take him. Hopefully he can get back to fitness a little sooner, and he's a determined chap, so I can see his pushing himself to get back out there, but bones don't heal themselves.
I wouldn't like to see him play only by having pain killing injections, and end up damaging himself worse, and if he does miss this World Cup you can bet he'll be back to make sure we qualify for the Euro championships.
