world Cup 06

Did anyone see the Beckham press conference?! Bless him, he really was emotional. You help but feel for him and the rest of the team. Its a real shame he is stepping down as the England captain. I wonder who will replace him?!

I dont, he was a crap captain. Gerrard or Tery to replace him. At least they speak to the players. I am so looking forward to the final few games. Ill miss the world cup when its over.

yeah its gotta be gerrard or john terry....Ill be annoyed if its ferdinand

watch any chelsea match to see why terry desrves it or watch the FA cup final to see why gerrard should!

And your reason for saying he is a 'crap' captain is?!

It shows how obsessed the country is with Beckham when his resignation as England Captain is the number one item on the news ahead of two of our soldiers being murdered in Afghanistan. What a sad indictment of society.:angry:

I dont think you can compare the two. One is a very sad situation, and yes merits making the news especially when two men have lost their lives serving their country, but that doesnt mean people cant talk and discuss other things or that other things aren't news worthy. Plus this is a thread pertaining to the world cup, not current affairs.

Yes but I dont think the resignation of an overpaid WORLD CUP captain should have been the lead story on the national news. Resignation was the very least he could have done

Thats fine, as you have highlighted in capital letters the above is about the world cup. I thought your other message was inappropriate for such a thread, but all people are entitled to their opinions and beliefs, but in the right place and time.

Yes very true,I feel more annoyed when 'stars' such as victoria beckham and chantelle coming out of a shop with a few bags is more important than people getting stabbed,mugged,attacked.it happens all the time

A few years ago my mate got stabbed and died and there wasnt an article anywhere part from the local rag but there was plenty of coverage of what a z list celebrity was doing.....

back on topic david beckham is most likely trying to escape the media using him as a scapegoat mr beckham should know that they will use his performance as a scapegoat and try and make his life a misery

I think the knives will be out more for Sven, especially now he is going, going, gone. Bet loads of people (players ect) who would not criticise him before will be crawling out of the woodwork to, rightly, have a go!
