Beckham to be England’s Mascot
The sad news of David Beckhams World Cup dream being ended by a achilles injury whilst playing for AC Milan has overtaken the John Terry vs Wayne Bridge saga and even the stories over where and when Beckham would play for England at the World Cup.
However, Beckhams England career has had highs and lows particularly at World Cups; from his goal vs Columbia, to his sending of against Argentina in 1998, his broken metartarsal and recovery including the winning goal against Argentina in 2002 and now with his imposed exclusion from the squad due to injury Beckham has possibly found a way to still be inspirational to the England team off of the pitch. According to a few British newspapers Beckham could still go along to the World Cup with the England squad as it’s most famous and influential fan, whilst also fulfilling his role as England’s ambassador for the 2018 World Cup with Capello apparently thinking his involvement with the team would help before and after games.
If Beckham does go in a mascot type role, it will be more likely he will be seen in some trend setting outfits rather than a oversized lion costume.
