David Beckham ruled out of the 2010 World Cup
David Beckham came few months shy of being the first player to play in four World Cup competitions for his native country of England. His hope of making history came to an end on March 14th, when he injured himself in a game AC Milan played against Chievo Verona. Beckham torn his Achilles tendon; this type of injury will hinder him from playing for about six months, which pretty much ruled him out of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa that was scheduled to start in June.
Beckham became well known to the American public when he joined LA Galaxy. He is also the husband of Victoria Beckham, one of the famous English singers in the group called the “Spice Girls”. The US Soccer Federation saw the coming of Beckham to the Major League Soccer as a promotion to the success of the great game in the US. In his second season in the MLS he contributed to LA Galaxy all the way to the cup final, which LA Galaxy lost.
During the MLS off season, Beckham joined AC Milan on loan as he did the year before, but this time, with a purpose, he wanted to maintain his shape while he looked forward to joining the English squad. Succumbing to an injury so close to achieving such an unremarkable record is a player’s worst nightmare. Ultimately, Beckham will not be on the field of play, but he will be there to support his team the best he can. We hope to see him back in the MLS.
Beckham might not have fulfilled his career dream, to play one more World Cup; however, he will go down in the history of soccer as one of the best players who ever played the game.
