Chelsea and Ghana Midfielder, as well as all around cool-guy, Michael Essien will miss this year’s World Cup due to an injury. A statement on Ghana’s official website read: “An evaluation by a combined team of medical experts from the Ghana Football Association and Chelsea Football Club revealed that Essien will not make full recovery until the end of July. The Ghana Football Association wishes him full recovery and a quick return to football action.”

I really only posted this because the Suns vs. Lakers game was incredible, and I have been informed that I ruin the games for people in other time zones, so now you get bad news. You’re welcome.
