Oh dear, I didn't mean to include you in what people expect -- I was only talking about people, including many in the U.S. who haven't seen Becks play a great deal or who are starter soccer fans and not familiar with the role of an accurate supplier who read the game so well. Your description of his work is perfect...when he scores its all the more fun. You could see before his goal A that he looked for a target first and then readjusted to shoot. Hi Box.

HOPING..yes, but expecting..no. as i know that he kicks beautiful balls EVERYTIME he plays - in crossing, passing etc - but not to score. it's not that i'm saying that he cannot score, as every football players should have been able to score anytime, even the defenders, even the GKs, and he has scored from an open play so many times..but he is an assister first and foremost..that's why. but when he did score, he always surprises me, as i've never expecting him to score (from an open play), only assist. so that's me i think..don't know about others. but i have to say that i don't quite agree with the word "expecting". i'm more to "people always 'hoping' him to score"..as he sure can and he kicks really beautiful balls! cheers! ;) thank you Diane for the explanation. i for one have never expecting Beckham to score such a goal, or any goal, from an open play in any match. even while he was still in Man U, and especially during his time in Madrid.

Then of course, they have also been expecting the first goal every match -- no matter how many times he explains in press conferences and interviews that his job is foremost as a supplier in open play. In either case, he deserves the vote for -- as Donovan appreciated -- the mental toughness to change the game in those circumstances. (Oops, should that have gone on Jen's new page?)

Right now it's 41% for goal "A" and 8% for goal "B" and Rolfe has 44%. Rolfe goal was nice but not better than either of Beckham's class strikes. Come on people vote!!! it’s too bad they put up two goals from Beckham (although he deserves both to be nominated) it splits the votes for him. Right now it’s 41% for goal “A” and 8% for goal “B” and Rolfe has 44%. Rolfe goal was nice but not better than either of Beckham’s class strikes. Come on people vote!!!
