Do you agree that  David Beckham's career is coming to an end?

Hmmm, most probably yes. Unless there's a miracle. Real madrid players got injured or England squad is in big trouble and lots of players are injured. Maybe beckham can show off his skills and perform well. Den maybe his career will become bright again.

There sure is plenty of scrutiny on the man in the top job, and I think Sepp Blatter has handled the pressure well. He's working especially hard to rid the game of playacting, diving and time wasting, issues that have plagued many matches.\n\nHe's done a fantastic job and I'm confident he'll continue doing so.\n\nKeep it up, Blatter!

There's been quite a bit of specualtion about this, I would say it's 50/50 and although I suspect that he will move, I hope he stays.  As to where, there has been a whole raft of teams looking at him including a cpl of Premiership sides so you probably can't blame the guy for moving that way if he wants to further his career.  Bummer.\nCheers!!

David Beckham\n\nDavid Robert Joseph Beckham OBE (born May 2, 1975) is an English footballer born in Leytonstone, London. He is a midfielder for Real Madrid and captain of the English national team. He is noted for the quality of his crossing and ability to hit free-kicks and corners, particularly at long-range free-kicks and also for his marriage to a Spice Girl. He has played most of his career for Manchester United. Although there are arguably many better current players in world football none are as famous.\n\nManchester United 1995-2003\n\nBeckham first signed a YTS (youth training scheme) contract (this is similar to an apprenticeship) with United in 1991, and made his League debut in 1995, aged 19. The next year he helped the side to the Premiership and FA Cup trophies and to their dominance of domestic football. In the 1998-99 season, he was part of the United team that won the "treble" - Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, a feat unprecedented in English football, which earned the club's manager, Alex Ferguson, a knighthood.\n  \n \nIn total, Beckham scored 86 goals in 397 games for Man United, a rate of roughly 2 goals every 9 games, highly commendable for a midfielder.\n\nClub Career\n\nReal Madrid 2003-present\n\nOn June 17, 2003, Beckham signed a four-year contract with Real Madrid of Spain, potentially worth up to €35 million (£25 million, USD 41 million). Plus 2.\n\nApart from benefiting from his football ability, this transfer gives the Spanish club an opportunity to profit from merchandising, especially in the Far East, where Beckham is enormously popular, and Manchester United have until now had the lion's share of interest. It is probably no coincidence that Beckham was transferred just before Real started a far-eastern tour, but it would be very unfair to say that his marketing potential alone was the only reason for his transfer. At the time of the announcement of his transfer to Real Madrid, Beckham and his wife (Victoria) were on a week-long tour of Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand promoting beauty products, chocolate, motor oil, and mobile phones, which it was reported would earn them more than the entire first year of his Real Madrid contract. (Western journalists are excluded from the Japanese "press conferences" organised by his sponsors because of the embarrassment they would cause him in the West.)\n\nHe successfully completed the transfer on July 1 and was presented with the squad number of 23 on July 2. He is believed to have chosen the number as a tribute to his idol, Michael Jordan, who made number 23 famous with the Chicago Bulls. Real Madrid shirts bearing his name and number were sold out in Madrid on the day his transfer was completed and Real Madrid were expected to receive €624,000 for the sale of the shirts.\n\nHis transfer to Real Madrid has proven very fruitful for both Beckham and the club. Beckham scored five times in his first 16 matches (including Real's 600th goal in the European Cup/Champions League, against Olympique Marseille on 26 November 2003), a higher scoring rate than his last year at Manchester United (11 goals in 52 games). He has become a favourite of the notoriously fickle Real Madrid crowd, and established an excellent playing relationship with Ronaldo.\n\nDuring the summer of 2004, Real also signed Englishmen Michael Owen and Jonathan Woodgate.\n\nInternational Career - England\n\nBy 1998 he was a regular international, and travelled with the England squad to the FIFA World Cup. In the second round of that competition he received a red-card for retaliation, following a foul challenge by the Argentine Diego Simeone. This act arguably cost England the game (which they lost on penalties) and the chance of advancing in the tournament. On returning home, Beckham became the target of criticism, sometimes justified (the accusation of petulance, for example) but much merely gratuitous. He received a similar vilification fo

Yes what a load of rubbish. And those of you who thought or think that Becks was the same. \n\nHe held the team together, even though he had his weak moments.\n\nMclaren he is a no! No! NO! Go now.\n\nWhat other England manager has run up and down the sideline with a piece of paper in his hand that he had to refer to. \n\n\nThe man is extracting the Michael out of St George.\n\nI hang my head in shame for English football and for some of the English players.

I think no!!! My reason being Beckham is more for ratings than his technique...Madrid never reallyu needed Beck's skills...they wanted his fame....He sells tickets, not to imagine jerseys & tv rights...in his 1st year at madrid, Real overpassed Manchester as the world's richest club...and guess what MLS might just use that to attract the world's attention & with a good management team they could just be competing with Europe's elite leagues

I think it's time the captain of England should be changed and I think Steven Gerrard should be given the captaincy, probably after the World Cup.  Beckham's been a great ambassador for English football but I think he's past his best now and it would be best if he stepped down and gave somebody else a chance after Germany.  Gerrard is in his prime and will get better, is playing for a side going through an exciting period and has the presence and force of personality needed to be captain.

i know i'll take a bashing from the english football fans here but here goes anyways... in retrospect to most english footballers, they do make too much money!  technically-that is skillwise-they're english players are far inferior to say, spanish, argentine, brazilian, dutch, czech or-oh my god! even french players. take david beckham for example... the man is above-average at best... he's not great goalscorer like ronaldinho, doesn't possess riquelme's vision, figo's footwork, nedved's playmaking penchant nor landon donovan's speed. we're never going to compare him to zidane for a myriad of reasons-most of which have to deal with ability. he doesn't even play any real defence. all of these downgraded abilities and yet, only ronaldinho makes more money than he does.  why?  because of looks...!  (chuckles...) then there're are individuals such as jermaine defoe whom i can never recall ever starting a match for team england-and rightfully so-yet he makes millions.  onward, we have the goalkeeper, robinson who would not start for my national team, romania if he were selectable by the head coach, victor piturca.  i cannot remember sol cambell, joe cole or shaun wright-phillips haven't really made serious impressions on me. ofcourse, there are exceptions... rooney is a boatload of talent, sheringham continues to be a warrior and steven gerrard is by far, the best midfielder england have now... he even scored today, versus trinidad and tobago.  then there are players such as crouch and, possibly the best england has to offer, michael owen. this brings us to a serious question: why don't these players make anywhere nearly as much as beckham-i mean, i really understand ronaldinho's income-he deserves every penny and more. what is depressing to me is that beckham isn't even the best midfielder on his national team let alone in europe, with the likes of rosicky, nedved, figo, ballack, antonio reyes and so forth-or the world with riquelme, donovan, ronalaldinho, robinho as well as julio baptista getting the nod from me over beckham-and i watch and follow loads of football-you would think i really didn't have a social life if you all would know how much football i follow. therfore, i know what i am arguing about! although footballers do not make anywhere near the kind of money that nba basketball players or pga tour professional golfers make on a yearly basis, some are grossly overpaid-especially in england.  to compare the earnings parity among the different sports: as much money as ronaldinho and beckham make-both in the vicinty of $25 million- kevin garnett of the nba makes $28 million per year in salary alone-not including very lucrative endorsements. shaquille o'neal makes more than $30 million a year in salary alone. let's not even discuss kobe bryant. the single most boring sport you can ever wacth on telivision, golf, brings tiger woods more than $60 million a year in total. phil mickelson more than $25 million. therfore, in comparison, footballers' pay, anywhere in the world i'm afraid, pale in comparison to athletic earnings from your brothers in arms from acroos the atlantic-and i do not mean canada!!! footballers face much more pressure to perform well than athletes here in the united states and then there're all the politics involved-such as when say, germany suit up against poland or ireland republic play england. everyone on both side play their hearts out when turkey face greece and serbia face either bosnia-herzigovina or croatia. we, as romanians, lose our minds when we play hungary. this unique to only football, and adds alot of pressure. when you really think about it, eleven or so men can cause the utmost national pride or adversely depress millions, in seconds. football is the only sport consistently used as political propaganda-remember el salvador-honduras? the match only pushed things over the edge and gave both nations' leade

He's done. He needs to retire so he doesn't embarrass himself again, or actually his team!
