Liam vs Beckham
(Friday March 10, 2006 11:38 AM)
Liam Gallagher has dismissed England’s chances of winning this summer’s football World Cup in Germany, claiming David Beckham and co are “gay boys”.
The outspoken Oasis frontman, famed for his love of Manchester City, put the foot into his countries chances of claiming the big prize ahead of the tournament, which kicks off in June.
In a new interview, he explained: "I’m not one of those people who are that patriotic when it comes to the England team. I think that if you play direct football and deserve to win, you win.
“At times the England players seem to play like women. Beckham and others, they’re gay boys.”
Meanwhile, Liam saved a few more choice words for U2 and The Rolling Stones, as Oasis prepare to play a string of South American shows in the wake of gigs on the continent by their rock’n’roll peers.
He claimed: "They’re the biggest bands in the world, without doubt. The Stones are big. They fill stadiums and they’re in tune with the times. I respect them but their songs are a pile of crap.
“As for U2, I don’t understand what they’re doing. They’re rock stars - for me, they don’t say a lot. They don’t seem like normal people.”
