Think we will have to agree to disagree on this one Morton. i'm with morton on this one. he was the first name on the sheet because of svens infatuation and also because the FA realised that he was selling a lot of shirts. brand beckham is far stronger than david beckham the player. it's one of the reasons why he's off to america - if he played in britain again, everyone would see that week in, week out - he's past it.

So why was he the first name on the England team sheet, because of his right foot? I think that's a little harsh on him really.. He may have appeared a little dense in tv interviews and that but the fact is, out of all the potential captains that have played with him, all have quite happily got along with him. He must be a good motivator and a 'people person' else he wouldn't have been picked as skipper.

I personally believe Becki will end up with egg on his face, the starstruck American's will be expecting great things of him, and would expect to see him scoring on a prolific basis. In essence he can only play on the right hand side, and we have seen how he copes with extreme heat and humidity. His range of passing is still top notch, and he is still proficient when it comes to dead ball situations, but would this pacify or suit the American fans, they will expect football to played at a very fast pace, leaving Becki missing in most games. First and foremostly Becki is a footballer not a film star, and if he fails to deliver as a footballer, the American press, fans and media as a hole will string him up.

Not really. Thing is, they don't know him because he's a footballer, they know him because he's a global icon in fashion and such like. He's just another celebrity but while it's likely he won't be very good for his team, he'll boost the profile of football through his 'icon' status. Edit - They don't know him coz he's a football

Me and my friend were bored at work today, so we worked out that he will earn roughly £8.33 per second

Lets face it David Beckham is a moron. I haven't bothered to read any other posts on this thread but why is he a moron? So he earns a hell of a lot of money each week...If you was in his position, would you turn it down? I very much doubt it. Good luck to Beckham. He's been a good servant to the English team.
