Beckham Tears Achilles

So much for that whole "playing in the World Cup" thing for his country...

David Beckham tears his Achilles' tendon in the 88th minute of AC Milan's game against Chievo. It seems somewhat freaky in its origin- almost reminiscent of Dan Marino's injury.

His World Cup career, at the age of 34, is probably over. His international career is in question, and his timetable for returning to either Milan or the LA Galaxy is set for six months or so ((if you believe AC's Vice President Adriano Galliani)).

What do you wanna bet both MLS Commisioner Don Garber and Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena are really pissed right now- considering Beckham is in the middle of a five-year, $32.5-million deal...???

Here's the injury...
