Please ,dont let beckham equal or surpass bobby moores england caps , He must be the most overrated player i have ever ..ever known ,all he is interested in is dosh !!!! Not fit to tie bobby moores shoe laces [if he was still around] ...

as far as being over rated, bollocks. the guy played a key role in man utd 90s team and we all know how successful it was, still unconvinced? he moved to spain and again played a key role in madrid winning the league, even after i certain manager said he wasn't part of the team anymore. the guy showed heard, commitment and skill to get back into the team and play like the world class dead ball player and crosser he is.
you don't get 100+ caps for any of the top international sides if you are not a world class footballer. or aren't england a top international side?
they played a lot less games when moore was about, no one will forget that.
if he's good enough to play, play him if not don't.

i dought if the rest of european football fans would agree with that..or the rest of the world football fans for that matter

beckham is a shirt seller and puts bums on seats thats why he has so many caps , money is his god as is the fa and every club which signs him he is not there to win games thats for sure !! To even say his name in context with pele !! funniest thing i have heard for a long time ...😵

The rest of the cr*p you're coming out with isnt really worth bothering to respond to because is it is just that c**p. I mean come on, you got spurs73 fighting in your corner, that in itself is point proved enough that you havnt got a clue what youre talking about.

lets take a look at what he does on the pitch ..gets the ball passes straight away ,gets the ball runs sideways and passes the ball .. how many times have you seen him take a player on? when he takes a corner he takes as much time as he can get away with so the press gets loads of pictures of him, and he talks like a girl !!!! managers have a lot of presssure to keep him because of the revenue he creates... fergie got rid ,coppella tried to and even numb nuts maclaren could see what a liability he was ,if he is that good whats he doing in a fourth division outfit like galaxy ... after more money ,i tell you hr would sell his own granny if there was a few bob in it for him !!!!!ps. up the spurs !!1😀😲🙄😴

1) The Americans haven't got a scooby doo about football and still think beckham has got legs
2) The italians need to sell shirts (he will only be eligible to play for two months)
3) The FA have got Wembley to pay for and need bums on seats as you quite correctly point out phil3000
Sally, are you a man u fan by any chance, or just a beckham babe? He was a decent player 5 years ago, saved us in the greece qualifier and is a magnificent dead ball exponent it has to be said. The rest is marketing and photogenic good looks.

Originally posted by spurs73I'm in NZ and have to totally agree with Sally. David Beckham has been down with Galaxy for exhibition matches.. Played for all but about 15mins of two full matches. He showed touches of brilliance. He is a ball mover distributor but still made tackles and challenged regularly.
i dought if the rest of european football fans would agree with that..or the rest of the world football fans for that matter
Galaxy thrashed our National composite side and an Oceania side (with gobby Mark Bosnich letting in 4) but wait there's more!!! Becks did all the pap interviews and pose ups for the press. He promoted the game on tv and did lots of brilliant work with charities scoring loads of points with fans and businesses.
High moment .. when he gave a little kid his shirt instead of one of the other players just because the kids smile made his day.
To me Becks isn't a world beating player of the class of Pele or Bobby Moore. Moore always amazed with his coolness and always had time to move the ball precisely but that was in the days of long floating passes. The game is so different now.
Beckham is however the equal of any off the field and millions love the guy from hair do's to shirts. The guy loves the game and exudes it.
Good on You David.
