Re: England down and almost out of Euro 2008
I agree to a certain extent but the second goal against Croatia was courtesy of a quality pass from Beckham. I also don't get this Beckham mania all the time. I mean the guy has obvious talent but who really cares about club foot ball (I know they do esp. in Europe) What has he ever achieved at international level? England despite all the hype and despite having the most lucrative domestic league there is are basically just a QF team at best on the world stage. Now tell me is that an achievement?
NO doubt, that goal was one of the finest. But one goal doesn't make him and his team qualify for the finals. You need to be in the game 100 mins. Fully concentrated. League and Internationals is a huge difference. There are ppl performanig oustanding at leagues, whereas are a total waste at Internationals and vice versa.
