My point is an outside view on Beckham is he's the danger at freekicks

Though to me, he hogs the freekicks, so he gets the full lions share of them, and I'd expect the assists as he gets at least 10 a game to put a ball in

Barring that though, Beckham doesn't actually do anything for England

That could deep down be counter productive as well

If having a brilliant right foot and strolling around meant that one freekick a match deserved your place, Easton would still be in the Norwich team
