, as one will be in traction.A player less talented than his hype, whose real skill was media manipulation, has failed to engineer an appearance at a fourth World Cup in succession. A plan to play Champions League football with A C Milan to showcase his availability has backfired with an Achilles heel injury, incurred ironically while trying to take a free kick, his trademark talent.
So Mr Beckham won't beat Peter Shilton's record number of caps, but the England national team probably won't be the weaker for it. In Italia 1990, forced to do without Bryan Robson (their talismanic skipper) England reached a semi-final and only lost on penalties to the Germans. Perhaps history will repeat itself, so long as Wayne Rooney stays upright for the next few months.
