As for the football, it was rubbish and all the talk of how wright
Phillips
should play in place of Beckham and yet he misses to gilt edged
chances in
the first half.

Beckham is a tired has-been anyway, and he should go while he has a
shred of dignity left.

His performance in Portugal last summer was truly dire.:-(

Good to see Sven kept with his record of weird
substitutions. Why bring those two on at the end? Only a friendly I
guess

Yep.

This sort of thing is a risky business. I recall Hoddle playing by the
same card in Euro 96, and that ended in disaster, likewise!:-o :-(
