Although it should be pointed out in the interest of balance that Beckham had been subbed in that game for Reyes - who scored the two goals for Madrid to make it 3-1 and thus give them the win they needed to clinch La Liga... And that this was the first trophy Madrid won since Beckham joined... I don't like him, but mostly because he's promoted beyond his ability. He's perfectly adequate - but media coverage (not *all* of which is his fault) makes him out to be one of the all-time greats. I think the comic Lucy Porter put it best in explaining the difference between 'fortune' and 'luck': "David Beckham isn't lucky, he's fortunate. Fortunate to have been born with a skill that is highly valued in our society, but he still had to exploit that fortune, work hard, train hard, and play well for the team for that skill to be useful.
