Can England Win the 2006 World Cup in Germany?
Beckham first captained England in a friendly against Italy. Since then he has continued to lead by example with a terrific work ethic. This has never been more apparent than in the deciding world cup qualifier against Greece. Beckham was huge influence in that match covering every square inch of the pitch proving to his critics that not only is he a fully committed and passionate captain for England, he can also tackle. That game illustrated perfectly the captain’s ability to perform under pressure, who could forget that amazing curling free kick right of the death of extra time. David Beckham is known for his pin point accuracy at delivering the ball in to the area creating goal scoring opportunities for the strikers, a factor that Ruud Van Nistelrooy dearly misses at Manchester United. Before Beckham’s move to Real Madrid, Van Nistelrooy scored on average 40 goals per season in all competitions. This figure has dropped since Beckham’s departure, with Van Nistelrooy citing the lack of quality service as the main reason. England however will benefit from Beckham’s quality ball distribution not only from the wide right position (the position that Beckham is famed for) but also from the center of midfield, giving Sven more options this summer. David Beckham is one of the most experienced players in the England 2006 World Cup squad. He has experience of major international and European competitions and has proved himself to be a capable and inspirational leader. David Beckham will be a key part of the England team this summer. Let’s hope that these factors will help Beckham be the captain to lift the World Cup at the end of the competition!
