DAvid Beckham is currently playing for Real Madrid. in the spanish league namely laliga . laliga is the top league in spain .contarary to other post from my understanding of media coverage David Beckham is to return to the premier league in england this summer the team he will goto is disputed and will only be answered when he signs a contract. the teams linked with his move are Arsenal football club and chelsea football club . sorry just to add some people know our leuge in england as EPL. chelsea fc have the advantage of having more money to spend but arsenal fc have the advantage of having victoria beckham as a fan (wink). i do know that the beckhams cannot stay in spain too long as they have broken the law there by naming there child cruz who is a boy and cruz in spain is a girls name and you cannot have same sex names in spain . cruz translates to cross. ( i must have too much time on my hands :)  .

The word "caps" simply means the "number of times a player has played for his country." For example: \n\nDavid Beckham is the most "capped" player in the England national team with "91 caps". This means David Beckham has played for England ninety one times.

That's a tricky one mate \nSven Goran Eriksson say's he doesn't play enough games for Chelsea to be part of the national team, And then Selects Theo Walcott who 1) Has never played a 1st Team game for his club Arsenal and 2) Sven has never seen Walcott play any game before\nIan Wright (Ex Arsenal and TV Pundit), Shaun's adopted father, believes that Shaun's been left out of the England Squad because of the abuse He (Ian) has given Sven on TV regarding his tactics and Team selection. \nBut that is up for debate. But it does seem strange that Wright-Phillips has been left out.

I agree. Beckham is the best at taking freekicks. Two victories for England have been due to his freekics.

I guess they should have taken Defoe instead of Walcot. But whats the big deal about England Strikers, when you have the likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham and Joe Cole, who score enough goals. Remember last season Gerrard and Lampard scored 40+ goals between them for their club sides. There isn't a team in the World Cup that has the strike rate of the England Midfield at moment. England can play with one striker and 5 in Midfield and we would still probably outscore most teams on their day

I really can't see them staying in Germany for much longer. I would say most of their players are all good individual players in their own rights but !!!Do not work well enough in a team. I also don't see why there is any need to have the Captain there simply so that he can take free kicks or corner kicks! He doesn't do anything else. Now i might be old fashioned but my idea is that every players should know and be trusted to do that! \n\nFinally the Wayne Rooney controversy? He reminds me more and more of Roy Keane, another drama queen i can't stand either. No matter how frustrated he gfelt being replaced by Stephen Gerard (Who saved his team a Swedish goal before scoring one himself) He shouldn't act like a prat by thunping the glass roof, throwing his shoes etc. What a bad example this is for young fans!\n\nThen ... I really don't think the manager knows what to do/not do! I'd have sacked him a lot time ago myself//\nFinally! Am i the only one thingking Beckham's blue boots look a bit ridiculous?\n\nWho should play in the Ecuador game? Well i would keep Gerard because he's done so well, bring Rooney on (Need s striker) and keep beckham on the bench because he's not playing!

beckham is already 2years passed his best at least, he is only wearing an england shirt because sven is manager but im afraid it wont get much better when mclaren takes over. please join my plea in getting beckham propped from the england side hes holding the youngsters back, long balls do nothing for the english team

When I answer a question, I usually look at what the people have answered, so I don't repeat what someone else has said. And that made me read that someone said Beckham is over rated. I just have to say that Beckham is not rated anymore, to be over rated. He is only making that money because it is in his contract from years ago. If he didn't have a contract, he wouldn't be making anything right now. So he is absolutely not over rated, because no one will let him play.\nNow I do agree with the Shrek comment. because That kid can not play ball anymore. he had like 10 chances this past week, and didn't do anything with the ball. I don't think he could have hit the net if he was standing inside the goal posts. And he hasn't scored for the English National team for over 2 years!\n(we are talking about Rooney, for those pople who do not know)\nSo I think he is over rated. And speaking of Man U. I think they underrated Ruud van Nistelrooy, when they sold him, just look at what he is doing in Real Madrid. Same team where Beckham is sitting on the bench!

For me - there's definitely no one better than David Beckham.  He definitely gets my vote!!!  But its not just because he is so hot, its also because he is so likeable around people and other players, he is really good to the English team. He is just so personable during interviews and very down to earth in nature not the least bit arrogant or superior to anyone. He has great leadership quality skills!!  That's what I like the most about him and he seems to be friendly to all the other players he competes with so yes, he really is a very decent sort of guy - just too bad the media hounds him so much..

Place of birth Leytonstone, London, England.\nDavid Robert Joseph Beckham OBE (born 2 May 1975) is an English footballer who plays for Real Madrid and is captain of the English national team. He is also famed well beyond football for his media attention, marriage to former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham and marketing potential. Beckham is one of only four players to have appeared 100 times in the UEFA Champions League.\n\nBeckham's career began when he signed for Manchester United in 1989 and signed a professional contract with them soon after making his first first-team appearance in 1992. By 1995, he had established himself as a first-team player and he won Premier League and FA Cup winners' medals with the club in 1996. He was selected to play for England after winning another league medal in 1997, but was sent off in a World Cup match against Argentina for kicking Diego Simeone. Beckham consequently became a figure of public hatred among many English football supporters, but he continued to play well and helped United win the treble of league, FA Cup, and Champions League in 1999. However, his relationship with the club's manager Sir Alex Ferguson began to deteriorate, and although he won further league championships with United in 2000 and 2001, he left the club to join Real Madrid in 2003, after another league title that year. His performances for Madrid have attracted considerable praise but the team has not been successful in winning major trophies during his time there.

We all care, but the media are making him out to be the only person who is playing for England who can win the World Cup for us.....if I was playing for England I'd be getting seriously pissed off about it....especially if my name was Michael Owen.
