He won't be there next time... his days are over, and in fact in the last world cup he shouldn't have been either...And yet he still is in the England Mens National Team...(Insert pisstakes here) but seriously, that is an accomplishment that he can get there,
and just prior to the Move to America he was a major reason Real madrid won La Liga just pipping Barca.
Sounds pretty average to me
You saying he was a "major reason", doesn't make it so... it's your opinion.
I don't see Beckham on the list here !
