Happy to see this...

While this has to do with DC United it is pretty amazing that Charlie Davies is playing soccer.  He is going to do some great stuff for the national team next World Cup.


From Wikipedia...

On October 13, 2009, Davies, who was in Washington, D.C. for a World Cup Qualifier game against Costa Rica, was a passenger in an SUV that went out of control on the George Washington Parkway and struck a metal railing at about 3:15 a.m., tearing the vehicle in half. The accident shut down the George Washington Parkway until 8:15 a.m. that morning. The accident killed a 22-year old woman who was in the car with Davies, while Davies himself suffered a lacerated bladder, fractured right tibia and femur, a fractured elbowfacial injuries, and bleeding on the brain.[14][15][25] In an interview with ESPN's Jeremy Schaap on December 4, Davies said that he expected to be running by March and would be fit to play at the World Cup.[26] On January 25, 2010, ESPNsoccernet reported Davies was jogging and hoped to return to Sochaux by April.[27] Davies returned to France to complete his rehabilitation with his club on February 17, 2010, with plans to commence full team training within a month.[28][29] He resumed light training with the club on March 22.[30] On May 11, it was announced by coach Bob Bradley that Davies would not be on the preliminary national team roster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup,[31] as Sochaux had not cleared him medically.[32]


Speaking of US players getting injured...this I am not happy to see.  Knee
