The greatest thing attributed to Becks is qualifying England for the world cup - pathetic!

He is a great BRAND, but this brand was not achieved on the pitch, but in the pages of OK, People etc.

If greatness is about giving your all, then i submit that GATTUSO is the greatest player in the world.

Becks is to football what Sharapova is to Tennis!!

As a person he might be great, as a footballer he is mediocre at best.

Let us also squash all this talk about the English team missing his experience in the world cup.

What experience? He has never played in a semi finals for the 3 lions, so where is the experience coming from.

That being the case, let Brazil recall Romario, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Ronaldo (chubby).

Please save us this discuss and let Becks go to HOLLYWOOD - thank you to the great Simon Fuller!!

MEN I CANT BELIEVE SOME PPL ARE TALKING NONSENSE ABT BECK, FOR HEAVENS SAKE THIS IS JEALOUSY. DAVID IS AN EXCEPTIONAL PLAYER IN THE SOCCER WORLD, U CANT COMPARE HIM WITH ANYBODY, HIS STYE OF FOOTBALL IS A UNIQUE, COS NOBODY PLAY HIS STYLE. MESSI PLAY LIKE MARADONA, OR TEVEZ OR AGUERO, RONALDO PLAYS LIKE AUSTINE JAY JAY OKOCHA, AND A HOST OF OTHERS, BUT DAVID, HIS FREE KICKS, HIS CROSES, HIS PASSES, NOBODY DOES IT THE WAY HE DOES, HE WOULD HAVE WON WORLD BEST OR EURO BEST IN 1999, BUT I THINK HIS ATTITUDE ON THE PITCH COST HIM ALOT THEN. LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION, HOW COME HE PLAYED FOR D THREE BIGGEST CLUB IN ENGLAND, SPAIN AND ITALY IF HE IS NOT GOOD.

Being an aging football player now doesn't make him talentless. He cannot have the same level of fitness as he used to have. How anybody can call him lazy I just don't know. Maybe because in that match against Greece he was the team and seem to do the work of 11 men – he was all over the pitch. But he can't be expected to carry the whole team everytime – specially not now at his age. Also you don't get that good by being lazy – it takes practice and lots of it (even if you are gifted in the first place) – it isn't magic.

As for the person – pretty much always seen him as extremely polite. He definitely made it popular for young fathers to be involved with and proud of their kids – that in itself is a good thing. He seems to have a pretty healthy lifestyle which is a much better example to young fans than some other icons.....

He also showed a lot of guts to come back after the vitriol directed at him in the UK after France 98. I think that shows his character.

So he is making lots of money off the pitch and likes expensive things – who wouldn't jump at the opportunity to secure a luxurious future for yourself and your family.

I guess he could use a lower pitch on his voice but nobody is perfect:)

I read these comments about how Beckham was / is 'good but not great', how he is lazy, etc and it is as if I am watching ESPN commentators espouse the values (or lack thereof) of Mr. Beckham and all the time displaying a complete lack of knowledge of both the game and Mr. Beckham's football credentials on the world stage.

I have grown use to such trite, uneducated, and downright ignorant comments over the years where Americans and the game of 'soccer' is concerned but please, PLEASE refrain from further embarrassing yourself (CNN, ESPN, and the multitude of commentators 'out there) by saying that Mr. Beckham has no skills, is past his best (ESPN has been saying that for years) and that he simply managed his career according to the clubs he played for, his apparent good looks, and the efficiency of the PR firm representing him!

Mr. Beckham was / is a great player and has played for some of the worlds best football clubs which is no small feat of accomplishment in of itself; 'greatness' is not defined simply by his football skills (though certainly his skills are prodigious) but also how he leads the team (domestic and national), how he raises the bar in professionalism, how he brings passion to each game and finally how he raises the level of engagement of the fans to unprecedented levels.

Mr. Beckham is the consummate professional with skills both on, and off, the field to support the claim that he is indeed a great player.

I look forward to reading more of the same inane, ill-informed and quite frankly ignorant comments regarding the 'lazy, talentless, and overated' player that you are so well positioned to provide an opinion . . .
