...muscle, an injury incurred during a friendly against co-hosts South Korea, means the French superstar will sit out his country's first two games. He joins a pre-Cup E.R. crowded with fallen warriors, including Germany's Michael Ballack, Italy's Filippo Inzaghi, and England's David Seaman and Kieron Dyer. By conservative estimates, the total value of damaged goods on crutches for the World Cup exceeds $200 million.

You looked at other people, and they seemed like little gray people who worked in offices and taught in schools. We had these drunken seaman uncles who were larger than life, who would come back in bright, gaudy, secondhand suits they bought in Palm Beach.
