So good teams don't have average players ? His move to Real Madrid was based on financial reasons rather than footballing ones.

No and no. I've never said he was crap, only overrated.

If he was an ugly bastard with a fat pig for a wife, would anyone let him near the Olympics ?

He is obviously not proud to be British as he has choses to live in America
He pays no taxes in Great Britain
He is no longer a top sportsman
He is quite thick and hence a poor ambassador for Great Britain

I cant understand why he does not get loads of flack

Pure publicity stunt engineered by Becks's 'PR people' to ensure that he gets the Knighthood/Lordship his pushy wife is so desperate to gain, so as to achieve some level of social inclusion other than through her millions of £'s. The idea of Lord and Lady Beckham of Trafford probably occupies her mind evey night.

And agree with your list of reasons why a simpleton like him shouldn't get the job of ambassador. However in our 'celebrity' obsessed culture he was the obvious choice.
