For the other two or so people who follow the sport here.

David Beckham will miss the WC due to a torn achilles tendon he suffered in a match playing for A.C. Milan.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

Jesus, never would have thought he'd make the team. Or do you mean he won't be watching in person?
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

He would have made the team as a 60 minute or 2nd half sub.
The reason he was playing at AC Milan was to work himself onto the team.

He's under contract at LA. They loaned him to A.C. Milan. The MLS season is a summer season, which is the opposite of top European leagues. Beckham wanted to play there because of the better competition - Serie A, and Champions League - and to stay fit.

A little background irony: There is an American player who plays for AC Milan - Oguchi Onyewu - who injured his knee playing a World Cup qualifier. the executives at AC Milan said the US Soccer federation should pay all the medical and rehabilitation bills related to the injury because it happened when he was wearing US jersey.

I wonder if the LA Galaxy will do the same to AC Milan.

He's been kind of a one-trick-pony for a few years now.

She's worked long and hard to look like she does today. It's a little known fact that she chews batteries in order to ensure that a smile never crosses those cherry lips.

:devilgrin: you're probably thinking a lot of the same things I am.

wouldn't worry about the pope. I hear there's a new guy, and he's a bit looser with the ol' rule book.
