    David Beckham will miss the World Cup and most if not all the Los Angeles Galaxy season after tearing his left Achilles' tendon Sunday while playing for AC Milan. His international career for England is all but over. It remains to be seen how much he'll have left for the Galaxy and Major League Soccer. "He will miss the World Cup for sure," a person familiar with the injury told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made.

    Not a huge deal for us. I think we'll be okay if he doesn't play in the World Cup, however his leadership might be missed and he's still pretty good on kicks.

    Galaxy will be pissed, paying him millions, allow him to play for Milan and get nothing out of it this season. Bad luck for the UK

    Yeah i do wonder if thats it for the career

    Galaxy don't lose a smuch money as people think a hell of a lot of the $256mil was estimated on percentage of image rights he got(jersey sales etc.)
