To preface, I'm just a casual football fan so I could be way off base here but it seems to me that Beckham is overrated. In the game against Argentina, he didn't impress. After all it was Michael Owen who earned the penalty kick which was the real task. Today's match against Nigeria, it was much of the same: a rather unimpressive Beckham. He just doesn't seem to control the game the way a Figo or Zidane does. So now I ask you European football fanatics: Is Beckham overrated? |

Great question thirdball... I am an England supporter and have watched Beckham maybe 100 times for England & Manchester United. He is a very energetic player with good close control, attacking instinct and one of the most lethal crosses in the game. I have seen Beckham win games almost single-handed, and there are maybe only 5 or 6 players capable of that. Unfortunately, Beckham has been injured (broken foot) for 7 weeks and has only 2 weeks training completed .. he is not 100% fit, so you wouldn't expect the best of him yet. As for Zidane and Figo, they are unfit also, and Figo in perticular has looked jaded and off-colour for some time now. Of the three, Zidane is my favourite , he seems to be the greatest player when fit. Beckham is one of the best when fit, but his lifestyle and looks get him the extra attention and hype. If anyone says he's only an average player however, they're talking shit ! Oh, and his temperament to come back from the folk-devilling he recieved after France 98 in the English press is highly impressive too ... |

I don't think he is overated at all , he is very important to Englands team. He do get a little to much attention though but thats media.... And like smokehammer said , recovering from that hate he recieved after France 98 is very impresseive. |

it is the morale that he brings to the squad that is so crucial -- he is a great england captain and has become an exemplary player in the last 4 years |

i like zidane the best of of the three u mentioned-it seems he always know what to do with the ball-he doesn't complicate beckham has a killer cross-its clearly that he's been very carefull about his injury so far in the turnament figo hasn't been the same since the injuriy otherwise he plays a lot like zidane its a shame that all three (also rivaldo) had problems with injuries,and they are not fully fit-i think it would really lighten up the world cup |
