he drew dimes
>>158418367One thing Beckham can do that Declan Rice could never do is play QB like Beckham did. I saw one game for the Galaxy where Beckham was at his own 25 yd line for long stretches just sending in beautiful 60 yd bombs that were all perfect passes. I never under why Beckham was so great until I saw that ..he is the greatest QB in England history Rice? He scares people on free kicks but I imagine Beckham was 15 times more terrifying? Dunno

He literally casually evolved into an elite CM at like 35 after already half retiring, very high football IQ. Also he cute.
Noone will remember brown rice in 5 years.
4-4-2 very suddenly went out of fashion towards the end of his career so natural RMs (and LMs) like him are considered obsolete today unless they've also got the pace to play in a front three. Zoomers likely don't know there was a time where even natural CMs were told each week "right it's your turn to play RM/LM" because of muh 4-4-2 orthodoxy.
>>158418367Fucking retard.
I'll never understand why brits sabotaged their own golden boy. Maybe a friendly britanon can enlighten me. Beckham pretty much saved the MLS from bankruptcy then he did it again 20 years later with Messi. Becks arguably has done more for US soccer than any 1 person in history
