Beckham the true patriot deserves better
|
I have an enormous amount of respect for David Beckham. Despite the fragrances, the pop star wife and the sponsorship deals, all he’s ever wanted to do is play football at the highest level. After falsely presuming that his career was dead in the water, he did LA Galaxy, and American soccer an enormous favour by moving from Real Madrid to the MLS. That this England legend should now be lambasted by American fans for wanting to better himself and prolong his international career is a total injustice.

Recently, I've had the enormous pleasure of reading one of British football's greatest literary works. A publication so entertaining, so well-written, with such fantastic sense of irony.

Many of the concerns that were expressed when the World Cup was awarded to South Africa have already been allayed in the first week of a dramatic Confederations Cup. The facilities seem up to scratch, there have been no major travel issues and the local people have taken to the warm-up tournament with great enthusiasm.

After England’s rather easy wins against Andorra and Kazakhstan, there have been many calls for a pre-qualifying tournament. I've been saying this for a while as despite the 4-0 and 6-0 victories, there was a nagging air of inevitability and even boredom about both games.
