Beckham at LA Galaxy

Sky and the English media should be ashamed of themselves over this Beckham bloody mania again.  I find it all nauseating, whenever I see anything in the papers about him, I just go onto the next article.  Pathetic it is, absolutely ridiculous. 

have to admit i like beckham, hope he goes well over there

I like Beckham myself Roger. I dont think he is a patch on whats he made out to be but hes got serious passion for the game and gets stuck in when he plays so cant fault him for that. Its just the usual english tabloid boll**ks that blows it up completely out of proportion. Was happy to see him win the title with Madrid as always had a soft spot for them growing up as the 2 players Hugo Sanchez and Emilio Butrgueano (whatever) were 2 of my favourites players as a nipper. At least Americans might take a bit more interest in the game with all this hype as the last time I was there I had to listen to the euro 2000 games on a black and white scrambled telly cause none of the bars had a clue what the euros were!

Sorry to ruin yizzer Becks appreciation society lads, but he turned up and played in WC 2002 and Euro 2004 patently unfit (Euro 2004 was inexcusable cos he hadn't been injured), for WC 2002 he was rushed back from the broken metatarsal.  Remember him jumping out of the tackle v Brazil?  Brazil broke away and equalised.  He completely flopped in the last 3 major finals and while I admire his professionalism for the most part, the hype far outweighed the substance in my opinion.

That's my point Roger! If he loved his country he'd have not let himself become unfit in 2004 and then blame Real Madrid's fitness regime.  Zidane and Figo weren't out of shape for Euro 2004.  He let himself get into a the comfort zone, aided and abetted by that idiot Swede.  I'm sure he's a nice lad albeit a bit dim and how he can say playing in the Mickey Mouse League is a challenge re-inforces my opinion of his dimwittedness.  Great man for a cross/free kick, but there's more to football than that.
