Well after watching the quarter-final against Portugal we were feeling very sad for Becks and the lads. It was a cruel way for things to end made worse by the fact that David Beckham has picked up an injury and had to watch in total frustration as England's world cup campaign ended. We just wanted to post a note up to say that we think England did well to get to the last 8 and that we know the players did there best and can hold there heads up. We're just sorry it has to end this way and with such heartbreak for David Beckham and the rest of the squad. We really don't think Rooney should have been sent off as he stepped backward when stamping on the Portugese player and it was obvious it was not intentional. Still football is not always fair and marginal and outright wrong calls get made everyday and sadly there can be no replay or re-writing of the outcome.

We are sadder still now to hear that David Beckham has stepped down from his post as England Captain. It was clear every time Beckham pulled on the shirt for England that he was a true patriot, who played with all his heart for his country. He will be sadly missed as captain, he truly embodied the lion-heart spirit, trying desperately to single-handedly carry England to success, through sheer will power as his goal against Ecuador showed. I will post more about all of this when the site is completed but for now I just wanted to post a sincere thank you to Becks for doing the country proud and for being a sports man of special character.
