Beckham for England


http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/6467716

David Beckham, as much as i have been bashing him lately, should be re-called for England. Ill admit it, hes still decent. After seeing his form on the weekend for Real, he made an instant impact in the game, and scored a trademark free-kick. For the record, to set things straight, i still hate the MLS and i dont think he should go there.

My problem here is Steve McLaren is a complete idiot. The guy wont recall Beckham even when he is missing Owen Hargreaves and Joe Cole to injury. Instead, MAC, in his infinite wisdom, rather play dysfunctional player Joey Barton, and sell-out Michael Carrick. Seriously, what has Carrick done for Man USA this year, and what has Joey Barton done for bottom of the table Man City? Even though Becks hasnt played, he still scores goals when he comes back into the team. Has Carrick scored one all year? Well maybe, but being the high profile signing he was, he should be doing a lot more.

The problem with Steve McLaren is his inability to see that his team, England, isnt up to par with other European countries, ie. the 1 - nil loss to Spain. England has 2 very important matches coming up for Euro 2008 qualification. They have to win both of them, it is a must for their Euro dreams. I believe, still, contrary to what i have said out of spite in the past, that Beckham will one day dawn the Three Lions jersey again, when and where is still unknown. He still has experience and skill to play at that top level, hopefully McLaren will see this by the time March 24th comes around.

Now to devise a plan to get Gerrard the captains band and get it off John Terry....
