so, David Beckham will be losing his chance at this year world cup because of a rupture achilles, he suffered this in Milan vs Chievo game.

this is a loss for England, since i understand that Capello doesn't pick a squad based on reputation, but he choses a squad based on current performance, what contribution will be to the team, and can he offer a different plan for the squad.

a lot people suggest that this could be a blessing in disguise for England, so Capello can pick Shaun Wright Phillips or Aaron Lennon or Theo Walcott to fill the position of DB. but SWP? come on, you gotta be kidding me, he is running like headless chicken. Aaron Lennon, his dribbling and pace is very good, but no end product. Theo Walcott, i found a good comments on him in Phil McNulty blog

"Yes, Walcott is blessed with pace but so is Usain Bolt. Having seen Walcott on numerous occasions this year, I reckon the quality of Bolt's final ball wouldn't be too far behind Theo's"

ha...ha... spot on mate.

yeah DB is old and not a regular player in Milan, but it is Milan, i bet SWP, Walcott, even Lennon won't be picked up by Leonardo to play in his Squad for Milan.

DB can give Capello a plan B, when against a tight defence team, or when in leading situation when DB can slow the game by controlling the ball here and there.

yeah, England will miss DB in this WC, and i believe the World Cup too.
