Beckham's Out...

...not really news nor particularly earth shaking (it was news to me that David Beckham was in the offing for the squad in the World Cup in South Africa in June)  but there's going to be no repeat of the World Cup in 2002 when, if memory serves as it  (which, despite watching games either as dawn was cracking or during the office lunchbreak accompanied by several rounds of stella,I think it does) the whole coutry was behing Beckham's partial recovery ready to go out on penalties in South Korea/Japan and added the word 'metatarsal' to its collective vocabulary. Not sure the news justifies what even by Puumaja Crew standards is an unnecessarily long sentence, either.
