Beckham was a good player, but not great. He had a great engine and a sweet right foot.
He stopped being a very good player in about 2002, when he wasn't fit and had a mediocre world cup.
He also had a mediocre Euro 2004, but descended to being a liability in 2006. His dead-ball kicking was poor. He takes every single corner and free kick when he is on the pitch, a dozen a game, so the law of averages says that some of them must result in goals. Many more didn't even clear the first defender.
He's over the hill as far as England are concerned, and should have gone earlier.Comment

As a Man U fan, I think Beckham was never any good after that Greece game where he played the game of his life. After that he never seemed to do it, first for Man U and then later for England.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Exactly: snaw's of this world think that scoring goals is everything, but clearly England does not score enough, its like conversion in sales - you have X leads (corners, penalties) but not all of them convert - you don't hail saleman who gets 1 out of 10 leads if its possible to get 2 out of 10 (as proven by competitors for example), thus such saleman gets kicked out by virtue of raising his/her target and new person comes in who will convert better.Originally posted by wendigo100
Simple stuff, but not for Beckham's ego for which alone he should have been kicked out because one person should not put his own vanity interests before team's success.Comment

True yet due to the lack of strikers in the England team he still managed to get his name on the score sheet.
But the guy couldnt run to save himself.
How about Steve Gerrards as the next England Captain Wendigo?Comment

Its about conversion Alf, and relative difference with alternative conversion that could have been had if other person took corners. Come to think of that - wtf one single person takes all corners? What kind of fool would put so much risk into one single person who can be injuried and others don't get real life practice? FFS, diversification is a common sense, also helps avoid some twat's ambition that can blackmail manager because he is such a goal scorer.Originally posted by AlfredJPruffockComment

Well, Terry's got the job. I think that four points went against Gerrard:Originally posted by AlfredJPruffock
A lot of players say that it is better being captain at the back because the game is easier to see - it is all in front of you.
A second point is that Gerrard's strength is said by his fans to be "leading by example", which only goes so far. At international level you need more.
Thirdly, Gerrard is less certain of his place than Terry. Gerrard has had his moments, but he hasn't yet "grabbed a game by the scruff of the neck" for England, as he has for Liverpool.
Lastly, Terry was already doing most of the talking on the pitch while Beckham was still captain, so I suppose it was a natural progression to make it official.
I also have a feeling that Terry does a lot more "captaincy" behind the scenes at his club than Gerrard.Comment
