done majorly big things for england in his time.
----------------
yep,if you just erase those meaningless quarter-finals from your mind where he persistently went AWOL and failed to turn up and just concentrate on the really massive matches v the part timers of bongo bongo land and outer inertia where he sometimes got an "asist" then i guess you could call what he achieved "major".

Using Beckham will be a sure fire way to ensure the world cup never comes to Europe ever again, they will take one look at him, hear him speak, look at his wife, and think that it must be some kind of silly English joke!

Footballs coming home? wtf? england is not the home of football, it may be the home of Beckham and spice girls, boy george, elton john etc, but its not the home of football, stop trying to take credit for inventing football, you look foolish, the world knows that football was not an english invention

The comment you commented on may have been a little unfair, but why must every event be turned into some sort of show for the state side show pony to try to increase his profile and make some more money?

He has had his day, he is gone.

If the brand wasn't so vacuous, tacky and dim then it might be worth a punt, but I find this sort of thing an embarassment to our country.

I hope foreigners realise that we don't all run around treating self serving idiots like these as some sort of diety

MrBlueBurns YOU SAY "...I find this sort of thing an embarassment to our country" Is Pele embarassing to Brazil, is Michael Jordan embarassing to the USA, Is Michael Schumacher embarrassing to Germany, Is Tiger Woods embarassing to USA, Is Mohammed Al embarassing to the USA????
Get real cos firstly you do not know the meaning of the word "Embarassing", and secondly you dont know the meaning of the word "Patriotic"

Like all these other personalities above, Becks has his era and he is pround to be English.

What do you mean that he has had his day and he is gone. In football world today, KAKA is the name today, there was Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, ZIco....have any of these names surpassed that of PELE?, In france we had Henry, Zidane (3 time world footballer) have they supassed Platini who did not win a WC as a player, who campaingned for the 1998 WC and is present UEFA president?

MrBlueBurns i put it 2u that u r an ignorant unpatriotic fool who cannot stand the success of others. If you cannot achieve ur life goals others can, and Beckham is no exception

>> trouble is, that every single one of those people you mentioned above were MASTERS at what they did, pure genius' and that can never be forgotten for the people who watched them!! what is becks famous for, having a pretty face and a trophy wife and contracts with armani underwear??? the only reason he's so big is because he does interviews with OK magazine unlike other footballers, and he goes around showboating in hollywood thinking he's a big movie star. i mean WHAT world class ability did he have as a footballer???? NONE!!!! lol the nerve of you, comparing the above champions to a worthless little glamour model!!



Get real cos firstly you do not know the meaning of the word "Embarassing", and secondly you dont know the meaning of the word "Patriotic"


>> patriotic is about having principles, standing up for what you believe in, for backing your own country through thick and thin. in what way has beckham done that??? he went riding off to hollywood on posh the pony, asking for wages above 200k a week!!! AS IF HE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH!! on top of that, he goes and calls the game 'soccer' as if he was a born and bred american!!! i've already explained why he shouldn't have said that, and how americans would know what he meant if he had just said 'football', so i won't go into it again. do you think its fair to have the same old face for a campaign and put the most glaringly obvious model of a candidate in to represent england, or do you think its better to have someone with BETTER ability than beckham who can show what true english passion is about???? it is YOU that has no principles and no patriotism, people like you just want beckham there because he 'looks good' and can sell a lot more, people like YOU are whats wrong with the world today!!! its not all about image!!!



Like all these other personalities above, Becks has his era and he is pround to be English.


>> what era??? the 3 years FAILURE at madrid??? the other years before that where nicky butt also won the same medals??? and is he really 'pround' to be english, when he's gone off to a mickey mouse league and speaking their language???



What do you mean that he has had his day and he is gone. In football world today, KAKA is the name today, there was Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, ZIco....have any of these names surpassed that of PELE?, In france we had Henry, Zidane (3 time world footballer) have they supassed Platini who did not win a WC as a player, who campaingned for the 1998 WC and is present UEFA president?

>> steven gerrard and john terry are fairly successful professional footballers, as is michael owen, im sure none of us have a problem with them because they don't go around pretending to be into football whilst at the same time milking endorsements from armani.

re: "I'm sure Becks would love to be involved in the England bid as by 2018 he will have retired from football and he may be a bit bored as shopping can get boring after a while"

has it ever occured to you that the fact he will be retired by 2018 is irrelevant? he would be an ambassador for the 2018 BID. the decision on who host's the competition will be made my oct 2011 with the bid having had to be in by 2009. so if beckham was on board he would certainly be required to work before 2018!!!

Becks has played for two of the greatest teams on the planet. Been a thorough proffesional throughout his career, won all the important trophies there is to win at club level. Captained England, closing in on a significant achievement of 100 caps and still he refuses to retire from International Football. Is one of the most famous faces on the planet. All this gives him more enough credentials to support our campaign for 2018. The clowns on here slagging him do not know what they are talking about. You are even blaming him for our failure for 2008 when he he had played we would very likely qualified. I have said it 100 times before the managers are the people that have failed England, Beckham and Owen have been the only reason we have had a glimer of hope over recent years.

only reason?Well,Owen i grant you was never found wanting when those big quarters came against the top teams but other than him we were left relying totally on a kid-wayne rooney during the the last european championships and Beckham-at his so-called "peak" at 29 was utterly,completely hopeless and viciously out his depth as we all witnessed,the way he simply crumbled was embarrassing.

The fact that we wouldnt have made this 1/4 finals without him as avoided you has it?

Take the last world cup which is probably his worst tournement performance wise for england and yet the majority of englands goals still came form beckham

Put it this way, McClaren put out pretty much the same team that Erikson never faieold to qualify with with 1 exception which was taking out Beckham and look what happened.
