Well someone had to say it.

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.

Really i don't think it was the tackle that injured him the way he landed.....

I did wonder. When they showed the tackle in slow-motion last night, there seemed to be no contact with his left foot at all.

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?

If you watch some of the replays now, you can clearly see Beckham's foot twisted awkwardly.

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.

Oh well, like i've thought throughout over 80% of this season, will definitley will not win the league.
And it's even more likely now. Keane's already out for another 5 weeks, and with Beckham now also missing the rest of the domestic season, we're gunna have to hope that Butt and Veron can continue to play just like they did last night! It'd also be a good time for Forlan to start scoring some too - to aid our European challenge!

But as for Beckham, he must feel absolutley gutted!
Argentinias seems to have a thing against him, as that a-hole was the 3rd guy to bring him down in the last 4 years!!
At least it's only a broken bone in his toe and not his ankle! I just hope he's ok for the World Cup, but he shouldn't be rushed into it.

I think the Greece game proves just how much England will miss Beckham...

It brings up an interesting arguement about the guys intentions though. He certainly wasn't attempting to play the ball, and the fact he's Argentinian certainly raises a few questions.

Maybe it really was pre-meditated?

Argentina are more than capable of beating England with or without Beckham. That guy, whatever his name was, was going for anything that moved.

Argentina could beat England quite easily without having to resort to such tactics. If anything it was more of a Deportivo player trying to get rid of Beckham quickly so they'd have a better chance of winning.


as far as england's world cup hopes being over are concerned i don't believe that for one second. Now if Owen was to get injured and put out the world cup then yes i would say our chances are over seeing as no other striker would score. Heskey keeps falling over whenever he sees the goal and Sheringhams getting a bit too old now. Fowler hasn't really proved himself at international level either. It's a big blow that the most overated free kick taker in the world is out as he brings alot to the table but it isn't the be all and end all of Englands chances

I couldn't really care less about England - they're not going to win the World Cup anyway.
I'm just really pished off that Beckham WILL miss the Euro Cup final.... if we get there, I mean, WHEN we get there.
