Hey Becks! Be glad you don't read the papers much...

'The most disgracefully unprepared team in England's World Cup history was... captained by a narcissist so obsessed with himself that when the inevitable humiliation came, he cried for himself, not his country.'

Ouch.

Seems particulary harsh considering the guy keyed or scored almost every single goal that this truly unprepared team did manage. That team doesn't get out of group play without Beckham.

Brit Tabloids should stick to bashing Sven. It was his fault as much as anyone's, and he's on his way anyway.

Becks gets nailed because he's an easy target. The truth is he always gives 100%. He was crying because he was in a shitload of pain. Behind the superstar image is a damn good footballer and people seem to forget that. Why no Lampard/Rooney/Neville/Robinson bashing??

I definitely agree with the Lampard, Gerrard and Sven bashing. Lampard couldn't get a single shot on target except that weak pk, Gerrard was pretty non-exsistent and missed his pk as well, for one of the so called "best" midfield combos in the tournament, it was pretty dissapointing. Sven left himself with no depth up top.

It only seems particularly harsh to us because we're not used to our columnists and sports commentators conveying anything like an origanal thought articulately or with any semblance of wit.
