oh correction inevitable and i'm not even­ English... Tsk Tsk!

Ach your all lovely really its just the drink talking­ :D

Ah well there is always one who isn't sure about­ who their ancestors are, but then what English person­ is ? Hmmmmmmmmmm Graham ? :)

Its envitable that i get the most boos but perhaps­ i'm just stating the truth and sometimes that­ hurts. The golden generation never materialised and its­ never gonna as long as you have players who only seem­ to get a @#$% when they are playing the likes of­ Andorra and um lets see Belarus. I'm not voting for­ anybody on this page because your all English and that­ don't mean a thing to me. :)

Barry was the man of the match he played a part in two­ of the goals and didnt put a foot wrong

Patrick, I know we wont win the world cup I am not that­ crazy that I think Brand Beckham will save us we have­ no back bone of the team. The media will hype up­ England people will believe the hype then hey presto we­ will go out on penalties to the 1st decent team we play­ after just getting through the group by all means thumb­ me down but I will come back and say I told you so when­ it happens.

Stuart = bitter little tvvat!

Atleast it makes a change from Wayne Rooneys ugly mug­ being splatered everywhere even though he cant do it­ for england against decent opposition , everyone is so­ far up his spotty back side it is unreal , England were­ far from convincing last night and looked ordinary­ atbest , to sit back and bask after a qualifying­ campaign against very poor opposition is surely just­ setting it up for a huge dissapointment and even­ embaressment at the main event , England are a mediocre­ team ... AT BEST

To all Beckham fans, stop being so bias and see what­ the rest of the world sees. Beckham is a good player,­ no doubt, but he is first of all a mega star thanks to­ his PR team. And everyone laughed at Bruce giving him­ man of the match award that means nothing anyway. By­ giving this award to his ex mate he confirmed what­ every already knew, the man of the match award means­ nothing, it's just an opinion, nice if you get it­ but that's it.

IS STEVE BRUCE PART OF THE BECKHAM PUBLICITY MACHINE­ ?THEY ALWAYS MAKE SURE HE HAS THE HEADLINES.HOW ON­ EARTH CAN HE BE VOTED MAN OF THE MATCH PLAYING­ 30MINS.ENGLAND ALWAYS WISHES TO PLAY POSSESIVE FOOTBALL­ LIKE SPAIN, HOLLAND ,ITALY ETC BUT THEIR MOST FAMOUS­ AND IDOLISED FOOTBALLER HAS MADE HIS NAME BY KICKING­ LONG BALLS AND TAKING FREEKICKS.HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE­ YOUNG KIDS TO LEARN TO PLAY POSSESIVE FOOTBALL AND NOT­ LONG BALLS.

Stepping stones i agree totally ,all those against­ Beckham will soon see when he bangs in a free kick in­ the world cup lolz

Creativities Beckham has are of a unique one which no­ other player in the England shirt has similar skills­ and qualities. He was effective as soon as he came on­ the pitch with his trademark passing and precise­ side-changes.
In terms of unique players, there are­ lots in the current squad with likes of C. Cole,­ Milner, Walcott and Lennon etc. They're all capable­ of "positively" changing the game (to a­ certain extent...). However, they all need that­ precision and creativity that Beckham has. Take for­ instance, Lennon has the pace down the lines but his­ last pass is not that precise and can get quite­ monotonous if he played for a full­ 90mins.
Beckham's assist ball to­ Wright-Phillips' goal was his first touch and to­ me, that was such a clever play by him. He played a­ fast grounder ball which surprised everybody, including­ England players, where everybody thought it was gonna­ be his trademark curving ball into the box but by that­ grounder he made everyone in the box fight amongst­ themselves created a huge space for Wright-Phillips to­ pop his shot. That's what I call class.
Beckham­ also has an ability to adapt to styles/characteristics­ of his receiver. He's last passes to strikers are­ thoughtful and easy for them to understand his­ intent.
I suppose these skills come with experience but­ I think having a player with that experience is a great­ asset for England and even if he was to warm the bench­ as an advisor or something he would be good.­ Personally, I was convinced of him from last­ night's game to have him in the squad and sure­ deserved his MOM!

only reason crouch scored is due to 1 fact only which­ is because BECKHAM put it too him with in inches he did­ nt even have to move lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz any1 plz­ name me a player who passes the ball like him with a­ 99.999999999% strike rate plz tell me any England­ player who can do it ,to convince me otherwise­ ,......................................................­ .......................................................­ .......................................................­ .......................................................­ .......................................................­ .......................................................­ .......................................................­ ............................ emmmmmmmmm exactly­ they isnt anyone , my point exactly

....and although hapy that crouch got a couple he­ missed three or more great chances....beckham will be­ on that plane !

Good 30 minutes Becks, but do yourself a favour mate­ and get rid of the facial fluff,
my Grandson has got­ more hair around his chin than that, and he is only 6­ months old.

beckham came on at 1.o up and england were looking­ decidedly shakey...he wanted it, and took it...a­ leaders performance and directed the next two goals­ with his passing and movement...he deserved his man of­ the match and inspired the flagging team to a­ victory....well done becks!
