As an Arsenal fan, Aaron Ramsey's sublime match-winner in the FA Cup Final this past Saturday was reason to celebrate, but the goal brought a twinge of sadness as well. Ramsey, a player who has emerged this season as a world-class talent, will not grace soccer's biggest stage this summer, and this is not his fault. It's geography's fault; Ramsey was born in Wales who have a terrible national team. Every four years, there are players in Ramsey's situation, and you feel for them. You feel for yourself too because you're deprived of seeing these players. Here's who will be missed most in Brazil.
