he may have been discarded, but he still david beckham. he had been rejected before but nothing could have stopped his passion for football. how many times we read from the headlines of newspaper all over england regarding his fitness and age. but no one doubted him when he replaced shaun wright-phillips after halftime during qualifier against croatia. peter crouchs equalising goal in the 2nd half (courtesy of becks brilliant cross from right wing) put england on a comfort seat. after that second, the crowd was growing louder and confident england would be going to austria-switzerland after all. nightmare befall upon them and none shant forward. his life goes on and contrary to what people say, he will never die crying on something like this. england might win matches without him but i doubt becks will ever be jealous of his teammates unlike some of them on him. its never been about 100th cap to him. his prioriy of course, helping his team to qualify WC 2010. however, some people might misjudge his intention and quickly claiming him as ego maniac. but to many brits despair, this summer EURO 08 will take place and they can do nothin except sitting in living room watching tv with their hands both cupped against their ears while becks is busy playing his part with LA Galaxy. hopefully, he will be able to play all matches unlike his first season which he had to sit out watching his teammates crashing down. i just wanna say....happy summer for all england players...
