[~~M!sTY~~]

B-o-T-h...!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Envy h!m . he !s a good Soccer Player w!th Great LoOkS ....

[hpblues]

Media hype. He is a great player, and he'll be inducted as a legend in the nearby future. He's got a killer free kick.
The Most proffesional football player today. He'll be even better if he moves back to Europe. Tbh, he needs to get out of the MLS now.

[janelleski]

no doubt that he's a great player.
but because of too much attention, tons of people think that he's not talented at all.
the good looks + mrs. victoria beckham are a plus too!

[mlclau]

You don't play for one of the most successful and dominant English Premier League teams in the 90s and then go on to captain England simply because you're good lookin! David Beckham is one of the most talented passers of the football (not to mention world class at free kicks) and hard working players you'll see.. He may have lost some pace over the years and he might not be able to run rings around his opponents like the modern day football might be able to, but he certainly he talented.

I guess he's just lucky that he was ALSO born with good looks and got to marry posh spice!

[rforest]

he's freaking good. he's getting old now, so of course more mistakes and less cool kicks compared to his peak years ago.

[Valerie_BB]

I vote for good looks only! The only thing that he is really famous for as far as soccer is his "bend it like bekham" shot.

He was supposed to come to America and make soccer more popular here. That didnt happen and Americans still dont like soccer and he was injured most of the time that he was here. He is a good player, but way overrated in my book...

[f_azhan01]

I think he just looks good. Yeah, he can kick the ball well but when it comes to other footballing attributes, he's just average.

This coming from a Man Utd fan..

[donghaelover11]

Eh .....I thought Beckham was good but I just think he got more of his fame from his looks. BUt I could be wrong. I was a fan of his but just seeing him not play this year, I feel bad for him. Also, I barely paid any attention to him when he played. So I think he's a ok soccer player, I think he could do better. I could see him doing better but right now, not so much.

[gayness]

overrated. Most of his fans don't even know what Soccer is. LOL

[Tuxedomask]

The reason why people think he's over rated is mainly because of his looks, but he's far from it. The only flaw about him is the fact that the Media MAINLY focus's on his looks and not his game.

He is considered to be the Greatest By Today's Greatest "dead ball" kicker in the world. People who don't know the game of soccer well enough will tell you he's over rated because they often compare him to Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho which is the most stupidest comparison one can make. Why? Because they don't play the same role as David Beckham. They are Strikers, their whole career is based on scoring goals.

Beckham plays Midfield - the play maker and the one who able to see and support the whole field if he needs too. Thats why he doesn't score as many goals as all the golden boot winners. He's main priority is not to score goals but to help set up his strikers i.e. Rooney, Heskey, and Defoe for goals.

Even Roberto Carlos ( [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Gi1jmLENs[/media] at 2:15) considers David Beckham to be the best free kicker in the world. If you were to ask most professional goalies who they are afraid of when a free kick comes they will say Beckham.

He is one of the greatest footballers in the world and next time someone tell you he's not and compares him to Cristiano Ronaldo then tell them they are stupid.

I actually think he's a great player, but people have it in their mind to when they hear his name,
all they can think about is his good looks. Not that that's a bad thing, but him being overrated
works some people up to where they ignore his gameplay. That's only my opinion. But it happened to me
too...when I hear the name Beckham sometimes I think of a hot british guy (8DD), instead of the good
soccer player that he is.

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?

mhmm maybe he is not a world player of the year
but when you see her throphy at manchester united and what he did id his last carreer in europe at real madrid
he told by coach that he will never play again,but he still training with his teamates (usually when coach said
he doesnt need that player he will not training for protesting coach decisions) and you know what
he took a big role for real madrid to win a league in his last year even though at first the coach didnt want use his
service.

[kay.sun123456]

Are you kidding??? He's insane! His free-kicks are incredible! I have a DVD by him w/ tips and such, it improved my game huge! His footwork and everything. He may not be the best player in the world, but you've got to give him credit for all he has done. I just think he's a tad overrated.
Btw, did you guys hear??? He wanted to leave L.A. Galaxy to go back to Mandrid, but the coach said he was too old, they want fresh new faces. Awwwww.

[asian_downloads]

 He is DEFINITELY not a player with good looks only. Anyone who's a soccer fan knows his free kicks are insanely good. Yea, nowadays everyone says he's overrated and he's getting old, but when his career's done, he will surely be remembered.

[EJM]

at his peak he was great. killer passes and a dead ball specialist.
but hes older now, so hes lost some pace.

[Joseph85]

OMG..
got to see David's free kick!!!
I dnt knw wid other things, but it is true that
he has great skills!!
and noone can blame his passion for the game..

[raven06]

I think he is totally overrated now...
he was a great soccer player, but now he's getting older and younger soccer players are coming in and gaining attention..
on my old soccer team some girls were asked who their favorite soccer player was and pretty much all of them said David Beckham. Just because that's the only soccer player they know the name of - besides Mia Hamm. (We were about 14 then and none of those girls were serious soccer players.)

[kikujiro8]

He is/was great.

Believe me, it's not easy to kick a 100 meter cross that lands exactly on the foot of a running player.

[angelfightrJ]

i wouldn't care less about him if he wasn't good. i don't care about good-looking soccer players unless they're good at soccer. i can understand people who say he's overrated, but people who say he has no skill, i don't. he does. OBVIOUSLY he's not as good as he used to be, but he was great when he was in top form.
