David Beckham Injury Rules Him Out Of World Cup

David Beckham who was trying to become the first English person to play in four World Cups has injured his achilles tendon playing for AC Milan against Chievo at the San Siro last evening and his fairytale career looks at an end. At the age of 34 Beckham was looking to secure his place in Capello's England squad which will be named on the 1st June.

Beckham's career could now be at an end as this injury will see him out of the game for at least 8 months and it is difficult to see him playing again in any major league of note. There is no doubt that he will be offered contracts when he recovers but this will have more to do with brand Beckham than what he will be able to offer on the field.

Beckham was very much the talk of all the pundits as to will he be selected in Capello's squad. His injury now takes this tough decision out of the England's managers hands and he will probably be thankful about this, as it has become clear in the last few months that his best playing days were behind him.

World Cup Fixtures, Teams and Betting News

Beckham has had a glittering career with winning 115 caps for England, of which the highlight had to have been his famous last-minute equaliser against Greece in 2001 that sent England to the World Cup finals in Japan and South Korea. He was a star with Man Utd and Real Madrid but his decision to go the the states to play for LA Galaxy effectively ended his competitive playing days.

Beckham had probably one of this best nights of football last week when he returned home to Old Trafford and in the space of a week his career looks all but over.
