I think Becks gets hacked a lot due to the media coverage he gets OUTSIDE of his profession.

When someone says the word soccer most people today will answer: Beckham.

Not knowing really much about what hes done on the pitch.

IMO, Becks has got to be the best Free kick taker ever.

If you can name me another Free kick taker that has done what Becks has done. I will have no other choice but to agree.

Dinhos a really good free kick taker, Klinsman was a good free kick taker, ZiZous a really good free kick taker.

On the pitch ball in play I would without a doubt have NO ONE ELSE center the ball but Becks I can not think of another player who delivers the ball like he does with people defending him.

Not sure what angle your thinking I'm listing Becks, I'll be the 1st to tell you hes not near along the lines of Cryuff, Pele, Diego or Ronaldo. I'm listing Becks because of his style of playing plus you have to consider how I would play the team. Again I think Becks function as a set player is unequal and he serves his purpose putting balls up there for Ronaldo like he did with Madrid would be awesome and setting up Pele with headers and drifted passes would be key. I listed Becks cause he plays ball my style and thats the style I would have that team play.
