I must admit that when I saw the pictures of David Beckham over in Afghanistan, I fell in love with him all over again. There's something about a man in a soldiers uniform, isn't there? Pity we don't have that over here, instead we have Snickers, those work men trousers that all sparks and the likes wear, they just do so much for a man and his derriere *drools*, anyway, drifting well off the point here. Becks took part in a live chat on YAHOO! with fans from 19 countries and of course, he spoke to The Sun.
Firstly, he spoke to his fans about the England teams shocking performance in the World Cup. In particular he touched on the stick Fabio Capello received during, and after the campaign. "He did everything he could have done. The manager can do so much and then it's down to the players. The players know it was disappointing. We didn't perform and as players you know that - you know when you don't perform, you know when you don't play well. The players go on to the pitch and they know if they don't perform they don't win games. The players are honest about that but it's not about individuals, it's not about how individuals play - it's about how we played as a team." Beckham is England's ambassador in the bid to host the 2018 World Cup, which is presumably one of the reasons why he sat on the sidelines for this campaign, but also because of his injury and let's be honest, he ain't getting his game lately. It was inevitable he would touch on the goal that was disallowed (it was most certainly a goal) and goal line technology; "I think it has to be looked at. I think Sepp Blatter is a great man. (are you for real Becks?) *clenches fists*. I think he will look at things very seriously (oh yeah, like he did when we wanted our match replayed and he laughed, LAUGHED, in our faces *sobs*) because, obviously, there's been a big question mark...."
Enough about football, let's get to the more serious matter of his fashion choices and his marriage to Victoria. Speaking then to The Sun, he said that he loves fashion and that there are one or two outfits he regrets, notably the matching leather ensemble he and Victoria wore out one night, but I hope he is also referring to the sarong incident, scarleh for de chap. "I've always loved clothes, liked to dress up and wear suits. People ask if we combine clothes but we don't, it's coincidence but, there are a few outfits over the years we regret. One time Victoria wore leather trousers and a leather jacket and I wore leather trousers and a jacket. Victoria looked good but now looking back, I'm not so sure." He then admitted that he is a bit of a neat freak, which isn't surprising, and Victoria is very messy. Next up, his three boys, possibly the cutest boys to come from a celebrity couple. Romeo is now noticing girls a lot more and the other two are just hilarious and talk day and night. He also admitted that has a love for Lego which he found out while in Milan, "This is going to make me sound really weird - when I was in Milan I had a lot of time on my hands (nooo way) and found online that there's a Taj Mahal Lego set you can buy so I bought it."
So, what have we learned here? He's a comfortable metrosexual, which we sort of knew already, he's a family man at heart, nwah and he respects Sepp Blatter. Ok, so, he might not have a good judge of character but, the fact still remains, Becks is a sex symbol that we all love, once he doesn't speak as that voice takes away a lot of his masculinity.
