huh? okay...
*have you ever had a sprained knee? i have - do you know how mcuh they hurt?
*do you think he's faking this injury or something? if there is one thing about beckham, it's that he LOVES to play and always has...he is not going to spend more time on the sidelines than he needs to.
*he is something of an injury prone player, sure...but thats partly because of his age (he has been a full-time pro player at the highest level there is for about 12 years now) and partly because of the way that he plays. he challenges for every ball, makes great tackles, and is always running. if you saw HOW he got his knee sprain, you would know what i mean - he didnt NEED to challenge for that 50/50 ball.
I am not the biggest Becks fan any more, not since he left my team United, but he is a damn fine footballer - and i will not listen to him being criticised just because he happens to have had two unrelated injuries within the space of a month of each other. of course he is overpaid by the LA Galaxy, but thats their problem - and besides, who isnt overpaid by their pro sports team??
Beckham = legend
