I didn't say you wouldn't take them this week, although Beckham left his team in the lurch when he was in such bad shape in the 2nd half that he begged off, abandoning his mates.
In America he would be crucified in the New York papers for 'lack of mental toughness.' England needed a win in the match to survive the 'Group of Deat' and Mr. Sporty Spice begged off..that kind of thing comes back to haunt a team
