Good News and Bad for USA Soccer

Let's be clear about one thing: whether or not Charlie Davies plays in the World Cup is not really relevant, the most important thing here is his good health.

That being said, the US team would have liked to have had Davies as part of their attack in South Africa, but will almost certainly be with out his services.

The good news however, is that Davies is now out of the ICU and is now able to receive visitors. Davies will have surgery next week on his elbow and may need facial surgery as well.

Davies was injured in a car accident last week. He broke several bones, including two in his right leg, and also lacerated his bladder.

It is possible, although very unlikely, that Davies will be able to play with the team in June. He should need anywhere from six months to a year to recover from his injuries, so while it is possible he will be able to play in June, it would take a miracle for him to be in game shape.

But when he next plays is not important at all; what matters is that Davies is alive, and out of the ICU, although he still has a long road ahead of him

Duck out.
