David Beckham has quit as England captain after almost six years in the job in the wake of the World Cup quarter-final defeat by Portugal.

Pity he could not the new Manager with him.

He has been in the job almost a day and he hasnt won a single game!

Walked before he was pushed?

I think it's the right decision, time for a new captain in a new era. Apart from set pieces, Beckham offers England very little IMO now, it's time to build the team around someone else in the hope that it'll push this team on and win a European Championship or World Cup. Or at least get past the quarters.

what are you talking about here am a bit confused!

whether you are glad beckham has resigned as England Captain

i guessed that suez it was the manager comment i was and still am confused with!

Oh I C its because Eriksonn has been replaced by some new guy and Geordie meant that he ain't very good because after being in the job for one whole day he still hasnt won a game for England

they havent played a game yet.

thats why im confused!!!!

exactly geordie was cracking a joke

David Beckham has been a good captain and a good player for England. He also had a good World Cup, but it is time for a fresh start, and young talent like Aaron Lennon. Becks is great at dead balls, but you need more than that, and he's not getting any younger.

oh now i feel silly!!!!

He felt that the decision was right for him. To be honest, if John Terry takes over, at least he would try to inject some passion into his fellow players on the field.

yeah, Beckham was useless in terms of passion... maybe because he´s getting older now and less energetic...
