David Beckham is so overhyped/overated

[TaCoMaStUd]

i swear, he has scored just 1 goal durring this world cup!

[dutchpaki]

he is not a striker, so even 1 goal is good.

[RDX]

i dont think the number of goals scored has anythin to do with his skills...he is experienced and so tries not to be greedy and give the others a chance at it ...

[Geezer]

On set pieces he's pretty good. He's not a striker, he's more of a playmaker. Plus he's got a good eye across the whole pitch.

[Indian_Eyess]

he's not a striker, and watever role he does play is pretty good, that one goal was an amazing goal for this World Cup and he's played alot better than most of the players on the English squad.

[farazz]

i've never seen him play


hell, i've never seen a soccer game

[imdaman99]

its all good, u would still have sex with him :p

[Indian_Eyess]

besides, he's a midfielder and a good one at that, better than alot, not the best, but he's still good.

[Dzat111]

soccer itself is overated...the world cup games are bearable

[bad_cheque]

He is overhyped but not in the silly way you described. He is a good midfielder and his free kicks are a joy to watch.

[zuiwaziri]

He has enough Assists tho.

Oh and World Player of the Year RONALDINHO is yet to score.

Shows exactly how much TaCoMaStud knows about football :no:

[Night Fox]

A very over rated player. The most famous footballer in the world, but will never be able to call himself a great one. He is a specialist at free kicks, but still not the best in the world at them. Pesonally i think he sold out a bit, marry that whore didnt do much good for his career either.

Who is better in free kicks?

Do you watch soccer in general buddy? Do you play soccer ? Do you know anything about soccer ?

Beckham is NOT an offensive midfielder, Lampard and Gerrard are... There the ones who pull the trigger usually outside the 18 yard box. England plays a 4-4-2 formation. The idea of the formation is for your 2 outside mindfielders, Cole/Beckham, is to play Header/Cross game to the strikers inside the box (Owen/Crouch/Rooney). There job is to architect plays, and goals ...

If you watch England you'll notice how accurate beckhams free kicks(scored on one, setup a few) corners and crosses are. He is a phenominal player, much more technical compared to Ronaldhinio, Robben, Kaka or C.Ronaldo... but does his job very well.

[Night Fox]

Who is better in free kicks?

Juninho Pernambucano.

Thank you and goodnight.

[Indian_Eyess]

No one said that Beckham is the best soccer player in the world, his face sells more than his skill which makes him popular. No one can deny that he's not a good looking guy and thats how he gained his popularity. But, he's not a terrible soccer player either, he's actually really good, at least in my opinion.

Oh yeah, and I dont think who he married has anything to do with his skill.

Are you really a girl?

[Lishie]

Are you really a girl?

Yes.


Juhinio has phenominal free kicks. But Beckham, Pirlo and Riquelme are more consistant.

[ewwwww]

Beckham's a good player; cant say the same for his judgements on the field!

[zuiwaziri]

If u look at things, His career kicked off after he met said Whore :sarb:

You clearly dont know what ur talking about.

1. The thread is about him as a footballer. Therefore, whats looks got to do with it, ur a girl, right?

2. Marrying that whore, (who used to go shopping and leave Beckham at home (when he should be at training) to look after the kids) didnt do wonders for the relationship with his manager. She also is the one who made his image into what it is. The guy couldnt even dress before he met her. + the move to Madrid...(where he has yet to win a medal) was influenced by her. She clearly has no talent and needs a popular man to consider heself a sucess. She even used to go out with a player from the same team, who at the time was the golden balls of English football. Hmmm....Gold digger, me thinks so.

lol ! just frustrates me when people talk about something like they know everything about it.. when they know so little.

[zuiwaziri]

not really !
Well didnt he meet Vicky around 1997 or so. That was around the same time he scored tht goal frm the half way line, and the same time the "Mircha Kuriya" were big.

He was definately with her during the 98 World Cup.

[zuiwaziri]

lol ! just frustrates me when people talk about something like they know everything about it.. when they know so little.
Oh Ignore him. (Tacomastud)He lives in the Trailor Park and hates football and likes to annoy us with his ignorance.

actually, the tread is about his 'over-ratedness', and the question presented was, what makes him so popular.

no, i'm not a girl...lol

I find it hard to believe that someone like Beckham couldnt hire a nanny for the kids. I do agree though that she did mess up his career, but he's still not a bad player, and he is making more money now, doing endorsements than before.

[addiction01]

Sports illiterate ppl should not be allowed to comment on it.

Of course she knew he would make it, he was popular before she got him. But on the pitch, he is nothing speical.

[addiction01]

I think he's over-rated as well, but not in the sense that his scoring abilities suck or he's a terrible player. I think he's a pretty good player, a tactical one that makes free kicks look beautiful. I dont think he's the best player, nor is he anywhere close to being the best player, even for England, but he's good.

[Rizla]

i swear, he has scored just 1 goal durring this world cup!


Of course he is over hyped. Hes David Beckham...

I agree that he is over hyped, but i think people are starting to realise that now.

However your reasoning for why he is overhyped does not makes sense.

"he has scored just one goal"

And.....? Hes a midfielder, not a striker. He is not judged purely on the number of goals he scores. Let me guess, are you a yank?

By your logic, Ronaldinho is shit, as he is yet to score a goal... No.

[Lishie]

Oh Ignore him. (Tacomastud)He lives in the Trailor Park and hates football and likes to annoy us with his ignorance.


ha, whatever..

[suhailio]

Rooney & Ronaldhino are yet to score.

Does that mean they are completely shit?

[Rizla]

Rooney & Ronaldhino are yet to score.

Thats the "Yank understanding" of footy.

:no:

[CrazyJoker]

Hes just a pretty boy face it

tha ladies love him

he dont need to score goals
he score million dollar contracts for various things

[suhailio]

Thats the "Yank understanding" of footy.

:no:

:werd:

When Yanks talk about football, reminds me of the movie Green St, when that little kid gets owned.

[thanatoski]

fuck off you elmer fudd look a like cunt. your knowledge of sports is quite elementary. the media has been on becks case as they expect him to be the top player in the squad but hes past his prime but yet hes still has the vision to see the entire pitch and provide accurate long balls and he is still defensively reliable. you think b/c he doesn't pot a goal a game hes not a decent player? fuck off. he has strong leadership qualities, is a top3 set piece taker and although he doesn't have the strongest athletic abilities, he drops back and forward on point. same can't be said for franky lampard this world cup.

[zuiwaziri]

Rooney & Ronaldhino are yet to score.

Does that mean they are completely shit?
Yes they are total Crap. I think Maradona and Pele both missed shots once. They are total crap too.

Gert Muller is crap too, He is only 2nd in the World Cup All time top goal Scorers league.

Roberto Baggio missed a pen in 1994. Total shit.

Shevchenko Missed his pen on Monday.....Waste of £30 million.

:rolleyes:

[TaCoMaStUd]

still overated, regardless what you guys say if he's midfielder or what not

you hype up a guy as he is greatest soccer player, if he was so great he would be scoring goals, :rofl: just 1 fucking goal :clap:

[addiction01]

OMFG, do you not understand the concept of him NOT being a striker. Just die.

[Adz4eva]

He can't head the ball, he can't dribble, he can't tackle, he has no pace... but apart from that he's alright.

[Indian_Eyess]

its like saying...OMG, the goalie sucks! he hasnt shot a goal yet in the WC!!

[TaCoMaStUd]

its like saying...OMG, the goalie sucks! he hasnt shot a goal yet in the WC!!

stupid logic there, the goalie cant score at all

beckham has a better chance of scoring than the goalie, your making my arguement even better!

[Indian_Eyess]

actually there have been situations where goalies have scored goals.

[TaCoMaStUd]

actually there have been situations where goalies have scored goals.

doesn't happen on a daily basis, once in a blue moon

[vikownethu]

He obviously is overhyped/overrated, but if goals scored was what judged how good a player was, then there'd be many who haven't cracked it, including Ronaldinho with a grand-total of zero.

[akuza]

still the best passer/crosser in the game

[scorpio_]

Juhinio has phenominal free kicks. But Beckham, Pirlo and Riquelme are more consistant.:werd:

TaCoMaStUd: becks is the best at set pieces, although he's a defensive liability.... and no one calls him the "greatest soccer player,"... at least no one who knows football

[TaCoMaStUd]

:rofl: thats why he just stepped down as a captain

what a "leader"

ive been saying that throughout his career...ive never hated any1 so much.

[BinDaaS_BaBe]

he is so hot

[shadab]

i heard he "bends" it really well. Now if you ask me, "what exactly does he bend?", i would have to plead ignorance, but nonethless......he's a great bender. Some people even try to bend it like him, they say, "eyyy fool, why don't you bend it, you know....like beckham?" yep, he's a great bender alright.

[ispeakadatruth!!]

he's good looking but he should shut the hell up coz he squeaks like a mouse...:gay:

[High_Roller_16]

i swear, he has scored just 1 goal durring this world cup!

My my my, another yank that can't help but just run their mouth. Football is not all about scoring goals it's about creating them, defending them etc.

Rather than looking at what he isn't doing why don't we try looking more at what he is doing?

You still have to keep him on the pitch for those dangerously placed free kicks in and around the penalty area, moments of brilliances like that can change a game, one good delivery, one exceptionally judged free kick; these can make all the difference. (just like it did against Ecuador)

I don't look at stupid statistics, if we were to look at statistics the whole England team may come under scrutiny, Lampard has been looking less than convincing in all the games and I haven’t seen anyone slagging him off anywhere near as much as people are David Beckham. It’s quite ridiculous, all because of who he is.

If you remember back to his Mancher United years, and the good old Beckham Yorke combination, his delivery was consistantly superb then, now it's just superb on a more eratic basis.

It's just like Figo for Portugal, Ronaldo for Brazil and Zidane for France.

Everyone knows their not as good as they used to be, mainly because they are all past their peak but they can still deliver at highest level.

PS: If you Americans haven't seen much of David Beckham before fame all got to his head take a look at this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIclFfGk5No&search=David%20Beckham%20

[TaCoMaStUd]

thats why he just got booted off the team by his own coach, cuz he knows he fuckin sucks!!!!!!!!
