He did alight in spain i though, watched a few of his games, its just this season it went wrong with the new manager. The England thing didn't help as it seem to make him look worse, however i still think hes not good enough for England anymore. Hasn't been for a while. Lennon had more impact in minutes.
Beckham heavilly contributed to that overuse of the long ball that England do when under pressure. Seen him do it for Real this year, long diagonal balls that don't always pay off. If you compare him to his number 7 replacement at United now, he can't turn a game like Ronaldo can. Same with his predecessor, Kanchelskis. Too costly having a player in the team just for crosses and free kicks when you can get a better overall package who can terrorise teams.
Its a different story though when you have a 26 year old Giggs on the other side though. That when Beckham was it his best, united doing what he does, whip them in.
Should of gone to Inter Milan for 2 years then America, still would of got good money but a worthwhile league too. MLS is crap, always will be. Too many years behind. Yanks use their hands.
