England Surely Missed Becks

The headlines says it all. He's done it again. The boy is undoubtedly one of the best crosser of the ball in the world. Check out the great moments in the match against Estonia. Credits to Owen who is back in the scoring sheet for England after a lengthy injury spell last season. Do also check out how Crouchy heads the ball beyond the keeper's reach, courtesy of a Beckham's (who else's?) trademark pinpoint cross from the right flank.

Some said Becks did a mistake by choosing to play in the US for Galaxy next season. Well, I think he certainly has a few more good footballing years in him, to play in some better and more challenging football leagues in Europe. I'm not saying that the Americans play lousy soccer, but lets be realistic, I think the standard of their soccer league there is far below the likes of the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga etc. And I think it won't do Beck's England career any good.

Having said that, lets wish him all the best and hope he continues to play and shine for England for as long as he can. Cheers Becks!!!

frankly speaking....those 2 fellas wouldn't have scored if fabian was the defender. zach would have done a similar cross, keng siew would have scored like owen, and kay han would have scored with his head like crouch (into his own net). it's lousy defending....
