The aftermath will probably see a pub conversation similar to...
'Mate, we came so close, only to lose on the last penalty. Bloody John Terry'
'Well, if we'd had Beckham taking the last penalty instead, we'd have won the World Cup' -

He could, theoretically, be back and reasonably fit by mid june (although I don’t know the dates of the tournament) and able to play for 20 mins or so at a time. I know nothing about football, but I know that a torn tendon is v.nasty and painful and the recovery can be complicated, but can also go well. What counts against him is his age; mid thirties you notice that injuries don’t heal as fast as in your youth. What counts for him is good medical care and good physical fitness; 30 years of training means that once he’s up and jogging he’ll be fit enough to contribute within one or two weeks. I wouldn’t expect someone to last 90 minutes just 3 months after that injury, but he could be fit enough to play the role that rugby teams call ‘impact player’, coming on for 20 minutes to make the difference. Don’t count him out altogether. I’ve seen people run the 100m just a few months after this injury, although admittedly they were in their early 20s and needed longer to regain form.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Career over and he won't be back for best part of 6 months.
Shame really - however I expect him to travel to the world cup in some form and I reckon the FA would sort him a medal out if we wonComment
