The David Beckham of not only this World Cup but the past 4 years has been unrecognisable of the great one of the past.
In his Manchester United years he used to be the best crosser of the ball in the World, who remembers the good old Beckham Yorke/Cole combinations? The year Manchester United won the treble(1999) i think 80% of their goals came from bloody Beckham crosses and free kicks.

Is it just a coincidence that ever since he left united for Madrid his game started to deteriate to extremes? Have the Spanish ruined him by giving him too much of the red carpet treatment?
Or has fame really taken it’s tole in turning him into footballs biggest pre madonna. Is he concentrating too much on being a World icon rather then a footballer?
PS: I don't wanna hear, any of that "well he just got old" jibberish, because alot of players play to a high standard well into their mid 30s. He's 31, and this decline in form began almost 3 years ago. (aged 28)
