Bugger. Might not have been a first choice, but you'd have wanted him on the bench if 1-0 down with ten to go.

shame.

Gutted.

proper devvo

Is that a big cut on his face ?

That is abit of a loss. Beckham set pieces have saved England on quite a few occasions.

He cant run or tackle for toffee but as Pap says he always a strong choice for the last 30 mins if you need to score.

Just so unbelievably innocuous....

You're right though. You'd never believe he had done so much damage.

I suppose the problem is you just need so much rest with an injury like that.

Problem with having a highly tuned body, that sometimes it may look like something small but be soo big - metatarsal incident

That is a shame as he is the worlds best player at free kicks

My dad got this injury with his Achilles never seen him in as much pain as he was the day he came home from football nasty nasty nasty injury.

i do feel sorry for him, but it'll just be another excuse for getting pumped in the semi's, ending another year of what if's.

its a big shame but i still dont think he would of got picked before the likes of lennon and wright philps

Depends how bad it is I guess - whether it's completely snapped or not. A cricket team-mate did that, just like your old man. He was in plaster for months, and said that it felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer to the back of his foot. Everything you hear says that this is one of the most painful things that can happen.

Yea 100%, my dad actually thought someone had snapped his ankle, when he turned round there was no one near him, just like the video on the link he just moved very slightly and SNAP! Also he said the noise was like someone clapping their hands..........never seen my old man cry and this made him have a tear it was that bad and his wasn't even fully torn!!

my work mate did the same, took a year to get back to full speed... hes no DB but you know what i mean, its made a spot available for someone to try n fill i guess

I don't think this will have a massive impact on the team on the pitch, but it will impact the squad as I imagine Becks is a bit of a father figure to the players.

I think this will be a big blow to the team on the pitch, as many have pointed out they would have him coming off the bench and he showed against us at OT he can bring some quality from teh bench which could prove the difference. Now we will likely see Theo "i can run really fast" Walcott - i know who i would rather see soming on to give us some sort of cutting edge in those tight games

I think it's certainly a blow to England. We've often commented that although the first eleven is strong, we lack strength in depth on the bench. Beckham certainly provided that. No-one really thinks he's a starter too often these days, but he would have been a fantastic option to bring on. It's a loss, unquestionably.

always been a fan of becks and its definatly a loss, but aslong as we keep mr rooney fit.......
