So as excited as I am for World Cup 2010, today marks a pretty crap day in the lead up to June later this year. David Beckham has been ruled out of the World Cup due to a torn Achilles tendon. South Africa is unfortunately missing out on a truely world class player and we are worse off for it.
I'm hoping against hope for a speedy recovery for David but I'm pretty sad at the prospect of hosting the biggest sporting spectacle in the world without one of football's true superstars.
