Beckham’s Achilles Rupture

By: jen | March 16th, 2010

It was one of those freak injuries. No contact, no speedy sprint down the flank, no hard plant for one of his trademark crosses. It was just a step.

Beckham’s surgeon has confirmed that David will be out at least 6 months following his surgery yesterday to repair his torn achilles tendon. Needless to say, he is out for the World Cup, and will be out for the entire MLS season as well barring some freakish, Charlie Davies-like recovery.

His injury leaves me feeling sad. I’m bummed that he will miss the Galaxy season. I’m frustrated that he won’t be a part of the England squad this June. But more than that, I am sad for the man. He wanted this World Cup soooo badly. This was his last push to play on the world stage. We may still see him in South Africa 2010, but it won’t be as a player.

I would have appreciated to observe the German team playing in the Final. Let's pray they're going to be successful against Uruguay today

I can't imagine my body being that fragile to fail in such a catastrophic way. It reminds me that even the strongest most conditioned of athletes are vulnerable and it's incredibly difficult to prevent all injuries.

Sorry Beckham you don't deserve such bad luck, I hope you get better and we see you on the field before your inevitable retirement.

Woah. Big loss for Galaxy and England.
