Less than four months after the crash that threatened to end hispromising career, Davies is already jogging at a good rate and workingon agility drills that would have seemed impossible just weeks earlier,when simply getting out of a wheelchair was an exhausting exercise.
What does this progress mean, exactly? It means that, barring anysetbacks, Davies could be back on the field with club team FC Sochauxby April, meaning his chances of playing for the United States inJune's World Cup should no longer be seen as a shattered dream.

"That's what's been driving me this whole time," Davies said. "I'vebeen looking at Web sites the whole time and they're always saying, 'Weneed to find a replacement for Charlie. We need to find someone becausehe's not going to be back.'
"These people don't know," Davies said. "They don't know me,and if they just knew me alone, let alone the determination and will Ihave now, you guys don't know.
"When I tell people I'm doing agility on the ladder and I'mrunning on the treadmill, people are like, 'No way.' They tell me, 'Ifyou're back, this is the greatest comeback in the history of sports.'
"It feels good when I hear all this talk because I'm going tobe able to play two months in France. I plan on making a difference atthe World Cup."
