Dropping Like Flies...And It Hasn't Even Started Yet
Well, the first match of the 2010 World Cup Finals is just under a week away, but already key players are dropping like flies.
Just to keep you all updated: Rio Ferdinand suffered an injury in a collision with Emile Heskey that will mean he misses the World Cup.
Nigeria's Jon Obi Mikel also misses out as his knee injury hasn't cleared up sufficiently for him to play any part.
Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba fractured his elbow in a friendly against Japan and is currently rated doubtful by manager Sven Goran Eriksson.
Italy's Andrea Pirlo suffered a calf strain and will definitely miss their opening match.
Also injured are USA striker Jozy Altidore, who has an ankle injury and Brazil 'keeper Julio Cesar who has back problems.
We haven't even played a match yet. God only knows what the injury list will look like then!

You are right. Beckham was also a huge loss. Anyone who suffers a serious injury in February and later during a World Cup year faces the risk of missing the tournament. With the amount of football they play, this is very likely.
