Do you think this will retire him all together?

He is still one of the best passers around, I can't see why he won't be able to play for a few more years. Speed was never his attribute to begin with. But stamina he does have, plenty of, he is a product of MU academy and wimps do not survive for long.

Your post is almost full of glee? Why?

Just tired of how his quest for the world cup almost monopolizes what little coverage of all soccer we have in the states. Nothing against him just tired of hearing about him when there is so much more to the sport.

True, he never relied on his speed but he its getting injury prone with his age.
