My fren actually said that she really cant see wads the deal with David Beckham... I disagree, but i dunno how to rebutt her... i think tt he is a great soccer player base on the way he kicks the free kicks, corner kicks. Maybe tts becus i do not really noe tt much abt soccer, hence, thinking tt he is a great soccer player base on all these....but if he's nt gud, y wld he be chosen as the captain? wad do u guys think?

He's alright.
But I dont think he deserves all the attention that he gets.
There are better players than him.

David Beckham is the greatest free-kick hitter in the world. I believe he deserves every attention there is, he is a great friendly athlete as well. He can curve the ball like no other, curving it 85% out of a 100 where it goes. His touch with the ball is amazing, he accuracy is crazy and puts it where he wants it to go. Of course he has flaws like all lads there are, he is getting older and I believe this will be his last world cup so give him all the attention you can give him.

speak english please.

Beckham is not just known for his looks, if you see the highlights in his career you'll know why he became so famous, and hence the name "Bend it like Becks."

just go to youtube and type in beckham. his crosses are pinpoint accurate and his fastest shot on goal was 98mph? (around there).

He's good, but he's vastly overrated.

he has flashes of brillance but most of the time, he's pretty stale laugh.gif he's starting to look really old in recent years though, quite sad because he was so cute just about 4 or so years back

I think he's a great soccer player. I mean, there are some better ones out there but he's great no less. He put Man. U on the map. I mean, most people in the US probably don't even know anything about Brit soccer but most will know Manchester United. It's the fact that he's good and good-looking that people like him so much. I don't doubt his talent.

He is good. Is he great? Far from it, obviously he's in the spotlight because of his good looks. But you know, there are times when he shows he's got some skills. IE: that wonderful assist to Crouch that scored a goal.
Please don't forget me. { I'm going away. }
I'm taking a taxi to Kentucky where they don't even know all about me. I just need to feel s a f e.
I've got a thousand sweaters, and shoes, and paintings to hide the skeletons in my way.
But he said, "Slow down, slow down. Think it over, we've all got wretched closets, but silly girl pride kills more than Aids lately."
I said, "Come on, I thought it over. I don't wanna die here. I have no desire to get mrried."
Every night I pray for you, don't believe in heaven or that it could be a happy place.

i dont think that beckham is one of the best players in the world but i dont think that he doesnt deserve what he gets. there are only a handful of players that are better than him- currently i think that ronaldinho is the best player and maradona is the best player of all time, but that's beside the point. i mean he's with one of the top club teams, he plays for one of the best nations in football, and obviously a majority of people have to agree that he is a great player. anyways, beckham is like the first soccer player that EVERYONE knows. say beckham and 9 out of 10 people will know who he is or will associate the name with soccer. but yeah, he is an excellent player- just not the best.

he's a great player, but probably 4-5 years ago was when he was in his prime.

he's getting abit older now and this would most likely be his last world cup.

It is his last world cup, I believe thats what he said. Though he is going to play for Real Madrid for a couple of years I believe or maybe just 2 years. Ronaldinho is great also, his magic on the field...but his looks are not so great.

LOL I remember when I first him talking, I was like, "WTF?" Cuz I had always thought that he had a low voice like Prince William, but obviously I was wrong. His voice is rather high pitched...not too high...but high no less.
