The English overrate Beckham so much, it's not even funny anymore. If there's anyone here from England or someone currently residing there feel free to put me in my place if I am wrong because you are bound to know more than I do, but I find that the English media tend to make Beckham out to be one of the best midfielders in the world when he quite simply isn't close to that level. He was at one point in his career but IMO he isn't good enough to be starting in any of Europe's top sides. I wouldn't start him if I was Luxemburgo and I wouldn't start him if I was Eriksson, farless give him the captain's armband.
