Bring Back Beckham! News

Israel have done England and Backham a massive favour by beating Russia 2 -1 and leaving England requiring a draw against Croatia on Wednesday to qualify for Euro 2008.

England beat Austria by a single goal on Friday night with Beckham setting up the goal with a trademark corner. However, the performance was not fantastic and England only created a few chances throughout the game. In addition we will be without Michael Owen against Croatia after he limped out of the game with a torn thigh mussle.

Beckham played 60 minutes in the game and was the main threat to Austria with some great crosses and a few corners including the one that setup Peter Crouch for the England goal. Beckham does look a little off the pace but has lost none of his quality. Hopefully the ex-England captain will have a bit more energy against Croatia and continue to cause the opposition trouble with his undoubted vision and accuracy. 

Thanks again Israel and c'mon England!
