Posted by Somehow, I completely forgot that David Beckham was sent off in the 1998 World Cup round of 16 match versus Argentina. I don’t know whether it was because Beckham still hadn’t reached his pinnacle of stardom at that point, or if I am just forgetful. But seeing the foul is shocking…
How could Beckham be so stupid. It was a cheap shot and a low-class move. England lost that game on penalty kicks.
As for this year’s World Cup, England is better off without Beckham.
Wayne Rooney had a similar incident in the 2006 World Cup.
When will these players learn?
