David Beckham, Your Country Needs You
By admin - October 20th, 2009

With qualification for the World Cup finals in 2010 now safely assured, the next crucial matter for team England is the inclusion of David Beckham in the World cup squad. Fans are wondering whether the old magic of “Golden Balls” will be revived in 2010.

Certain quarters are doubtful that Beckham would be able to keep up with the rigorous demands of international football due to his age (35). However, we beg to differ!

Another main problem that Beckham faces stems from Capello’s much documented dislike for celebrity lifestyle. The Italian has made it very clear since taking over the team, that he intends his reign to be markedly different from previous managers who rather courted the media attention. Capello’s No WAG policy only illustrates his desire to keep his camp a tight and collected one. He wants the news of his team to be only about football and no fashion or controversies.

There’s another quarter that perceives Beckham as a surplus for the team owing to the emergence of newer talents. The right of midfield is now home to the likes of Shaun Wright-Phillips, Aaron Lennon and Theo Walcott. All these players however, are cast in a similar mould; pacey, skilful, and forward thinking. Beckham is cast in a different mould altogether and can give the side some much needed variation, especially in situations where the game is tight and requires a certain special something in order to break the dead-lock.

We believe that to oust David Beckham because of his age would be discriminatory and unjustified given the player’s painstaking fitness regime. His inclusion in the team is vital for its success and motivation. Beckhams’ experience and expertise would be instrumental in guiding the team through the tournament. Moreover, his ability to take on the defenders with blinding pace and skill could be instrumental in taking the team ahead in the tournament. No other player can match up to the way he can deliver THE decisive ball, THE telling pass, THE one that matters. In terms of dead ball deliveries and precision crosses, there is no one better than Becks. Time and time again he has delivered the best for his team and we would continue to do so.

England needs David Beckham as much as David Beckham needs England. His passion, his experience, and his knowledge are crucial to the Three Lions chances in South Africa. Keep aside his celeb status, consider his talent and skill and then it is easy to figure out that Beckham is an integral piece to the English jigsaw.
