  4. It is safe to say the David Beckham is more of a­ celebrity than a soccer star as people often like to­ refer to him. There are certain soccer techniques that­ he has that are very good, however he is a slightly­ above average player and nothing more. The media­ running a circus around him and his plastic wife only­ enhances his status as more of a film star than a­ soccer player.
    What on earth is he dreaming of another­ World Cup appearance for? Anyone would think that he­ would have the good grace to wind that neck in and step­ down from the international arena, especially after the­ crocodile tears of the last lack lustre performance of­ 2006. He is an old cart in soccer terms and by 2010, he­ shall be even older so apart from an appearance being a­ PR stunt, it's serves no other purpose.

  5. 'David Beckham is not a soccer star' Are you­ kidding me? This guy helped carry Man U to the infamous­ '99 Treble. He won Ever Trophy he could in England­ and won the LA Liga with Real Madrid. How can't he­ be 'Top Class'?

  6. David Beckham is not a soccer star... he was never top­ class...like Henry, Zidane or Ronaldinho for example...­ David is only a publicity star... That's all.

  8. Back in the day football was played by­ gritty-faced,hardtackling,skillful people and above all­ on the pitch.Nowadays its played off the pitch,whats­ gone wrong with football.

  10. A lot of you guys are slaging david beckham off but its­ a fact he is a good footy player with so much money in­ his bank and a nice family! England is so full of­ bitter pepole bet if he won us the world cup with a­ last min goal you would be saying what a great world­ class player he was.
