Well given that I made neither of the statements in quotes above, I will leave you to finish off the argument with yourself.

Beckham was a good player in his day, his day being before he left Man U. I've always maintained that if Beckham looked like Ian Dowie he wouldn't of won the amount of caps that he did. He was a 60/70 cap player at best.

Also, a lot of Beckham's later caps (especially under Capello) were just cameos when he came on for the last few minutes.

He certainly wouldn't have been paid to pose in his underpants, not without a pair on his head at any rate.
