Hooray! Beckham to be dropped

[AtW]

A lot of Russian ice hockey players play in NHL and whatever they have in Canada - they are very good players, very very highly paid there, but when they get gathered to play for their country in some competitions they lose - that's because they are already multimillionaires and winning or losing for their country does not mean much really: the guys who fight well are those who have got a lot to gain and even more to lose: they won't get many more chances than that. That's why Lennon did his best and was very impressive, as for Beckham his only loss is that of captaincy and as the consequence his marketing contracts won't be so lucrative, the twat will probably have to do a few more interviews to admit he wears his wife's panties or something to increase interest to his persona.

Here is a good example at what Beckham really good at:

Becks and Posh Perfume

David and Victoria Beckham are planning to launch a new fragrance together, called "Intimately." The pair worked closely, selecting scents and packaging for the complimentary his-and-hers perfumes (AtW's note: yeah bullcrap, specially trained people did the job and you just signed it off). Posh chose a pink and silver theme for her scent, while David went for a more masculine brown color. He already has a best selling after shave, Instinct, so it seems that the new fragrances are already on the road to success with many current users eager to try the new line. Not one to be left behind, Posh will soon add her own line of cosmetics and beauty products to her name, too.

Name me other footballers in the whold world who is better than Beckham... in pimping stuff from big name companies? Beckham's place is in marketing books of all business schools.

Sheesh, you are one muppet atw

You purportedly don't care about football, you certainly don't know anything about football, but you loathe Beckham.
I ask again, what is your problem with him?

Nothing wrong with Beckham himself, but his form has been pretty mediocre for four years. Of course the 2006 world cup stats say that he scored a goal and assisted in two, but that's because he takes every dead-ball kick - several dozen in the world cup - and the laws of averages says that a goal must result from some of them.

In the world cup one corner in two didn't clear the first defender, four out of five crosses didn't find a teammate, and he needed twenty free kicks around the box to put one away. He's not the best at any of that any more.

On top of that, he contributes little else. He has lost that great engine, he cannot tackle, he is slow, he cannot head the ball, and his Hollywood balls were largely wasted. He had become a liability, and a logjam for up and coming players. Crikey, Sven even picked him in the holding role twice to try and keep him in the team. Remember the Northern Ireland game? What a great success that was!

I wish he'd been dropped sooner, so I could remember him as the very good player he once was.

Don't worry - big player sponsorship will ensure his face is plastered everywhere: he'd probably put it on female panties if he was paid enough for that.

I was talking about remembering his football.

BBC reports:

"McClaren has breathed fresh life into the England set-up by appointing John Terry as the new captain, recruiting former manager Terry Venables as his number two and axing the ineffective David Beckham, Sol Campbell and David James."
