Maybe I can go to Brazil in four years

ESPN The Magazine has a nice piece reflecting on the ongoing recovery of Charlie Davies, the U.S. soccer national team star who almost died in a car accident about a year ago.  Despite the severity of the crash, Davies set a goal of returning for this past summer's World Cup in South Africa.  Once it became evident that that was not going to happen, rather than become despondent, he dug in and concentrated on rehabbing his injury at his own pace.

It sounds like he's making significant progress, and I would not be surprised if, by the time the next World Cup rolls around (or, most likely, much sooner), Davies is once again using his blazing speed to rack up goals for the American side, seeking out soccer glory.  With luck, maybe I can find a way to be on hand to watch.
