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!

Complain about a comment.he's great player. the best.
Bckham just booked his ticket to the world cup with the performance against Belarus. He could play on for another Euro as a super-sub
Beckham has the best right foot in the world. Bring him back to Man Utd as well :D
I remember being a supporter of Beckham through this site a couple of years ago...great to see him back in the starting line up tonight. Roll on the world cup, then who knows?
