More News For Your Tuesday

Yesterday when I talked about David Beckham having asthma, I thought I just missed it somewhere along the years. Apparently, it's making headlines in England too. I also ran across this article written before MLS Cup about the 10 things we've learned from David's time in MLS. It's definitely worth the read.

Darren Fletcher has opened his mouth...and I still don't like him. First, he talks about how much of a hack he is, and then he complains about to play defense for Ronaldo. Dude, you're a defensive midfielder. Get over it! You'll never be the creative, attacking player that gets the big pay day...and the girls. Of course you probably don't carry a Murse either.

Brasil Goal vs England

I can't find the full highlights yet but I thought I would give you the game winning goal for Brasil.

Why I Like Fabio Capello

I can't say that I agree with every decision a football manager makes and Fabio Capello is no different. But I can say that I like his politics (actually, I don't know his politics, but I like a comment he recently made). After inserting David Beckham as a second half substitute yesterday against Belarus, David Beckham went on to win the Man of the Match award from ITV panelist, Steve Bruce. Keep in mind that the dancing robot, Peter Crouch, scored a brace in the 3-0 win for England. When asked about the surprise selection of Becks as MoM, Capello responded by saying,

"It was like Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize after eight months as president. He gets the man of the match after 30 minutes here."

My thoughts exactly.

Disclaimer: I'm not ripping on David Beckham. I like the guy and I think he's a great footballer.

David Beckham gives a thumbs up to the fans after being named the Man of the Match against Belarus.

What is up with the beard? Please don't tell me he's already started the play off beard!

England vs Croatia Highlights

A huge game for Aaron Lennon, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard.

All Hail Fabio

Fabio Capello has helped England believe in themselves and has led them to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The Three Lions crushed Croatia 5-1 with the goal scoring starting in the 8th minute. Lamps and Gerrard both scored two goals with Wayne Rooney adding the fifth. Who said that Lampard and Gerrard couldn't exist on the same pitch together as teammates?

David Beckham saw 10 minutes of action as a late sub for Aaron Lennon.

With David Beckham back in the starting lineup, England moved within a victory of reaching South Africa 2010 by crushing Andorra 6-0 on Wednesday night.

Wayne Rooney and Jermain Defoe scored two goals each, and Frank Lampard and Peter Crouch each had one. Rooney finished the international season with 10 goals, the most for England since Gary Lineker in 1990-91.

Beckham made his 112th international appearance, starting in central midfield in place of Gareth Barry, who was suspended, and Michael Carrick, who is injured. Beckham was in the first 11 for the first time since the European Championship qualifier against Estonia in June 2007.

England (7-0) leads Europe Group Six with 21 points and can clinch its fourth straight World Cup appearance with a victory over Croatia (3-1-2) at Wembley on Sept. 9.
