England's World Cup Woes

Another Blow.

So much for 2010 being the Three Lions' World Cup year.

On the heels of the Terry's ill-advised tryst and the Bridge will-he-or-won't-he saga (he won't btw), Ashley Cole's many marital indiscretions and (unrelated) broken left ankle, Capello's preparations have been thrown into turmoil as the side lacks a tried and tested left back. Even in the best case scenario, which has Cole returning before the season's end to stake a bid for his WC spot, match-fitness may be beyond his reach. And that's assuming if he returns at all this year.

Now, David Beckham won't be able to aid the cause. It was confirmed today that the 34 year old ruptured his Achilles tendon in Milan's 1-0 win over Chievo, ruling him out for what would have been his final World Cup. Again, Serie A: where dreams and beautiful football go to die.
