insult away. the difference between me and you, it seems, is that i can see when something should be taken with a pinch of salt whereas you like to take it literally.

well quite a game, france vs england wouldnt you agree ritchie? beckham played stellar, missing that penalty shot. he certainly dictated the pace of the game right? i think beckham was lost in the pace of the game is a better statement. he did nothing. one lucky cross in and there were the english praising david beckham their saviour. what about the other 89 minutes and 59 seconds plus stoppage time? it is as if he was never on the field. england did not lose the game beckham lost the game. u can see hes trying at least, i mean, he shaved his head so his hair wouldnt be the centre of his thoughts. hes drowning england like hes drowning real madrid. hel be quickly forgiven im sure. after all, cant stay angry with your "saviour" when is the world going to realize beckham is not the star he is because of his soccer skill but because of his pretty boy face; only a boy, a boy in a mans game.

fous le camp!

All Beckham did wrong was miss the penalty & it was a good save!!

I agree with ONEwildnight, Beckham had a very average game, you can see the difference in class between ZZ and Becks, ZZ kept his cool and slotted their penalty in, wheras Becks was prob thinking more about running to the crowd celebrating than actually scoring it

He was in the game a lot. Rarely did a pass go astray & France weren't a threat down the right.

He also did a lot of talking to the players.

1) if there wasn't the free kick and penalty for france, people would now say that zidane made a weak game. actually i could see more of beckham than zidane (and i think zidane is the better player by far - on a good day). actually in the second half, france didn't have any really good chances at all! of course they had more of the game, but if it hadn't been for two unnecessary fouls, they wouldn't have scored in this game.

2) i agree that it was a mistake to let beckham kick the penalty. but not because i think he didn't do it well! no, simply because barthez knows him too well! it would have been better to let someone try who made a "surprize shot", because barthez pretty much knew how beckham was going to shoot. of course it was also a lot of luck and a very talented save, but still i think somebody else would have made it or at least would have had better chances to make it.
