David Beckham versus Steven Gerrard

Both are incredibly talented, charismatic, somehow good looking.

David Beckham
- rich (who disagree?). He used to be the richest footballer in this planet. Now Ronaldinho takes place that position despite his look (kiddin' :D)
- handsome. I am not gay, but everyone can tell that he has a face that most men will envy. Unless u are Brad Pitt of course.
- famous. Maybe he is not the best footballer in the world, but he is definitely the most famous one.
- happy. I somewhat feel that this point is rather controversial. Anyway.. who is happier than a rich man with beautiful (and famous) wife and three children?

Steven Gerrard
- Loyal. Liverpool fans out there, thanks GOD. While his ex-teammate, Michael Owen decided to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid, he insisted to be in Liverpool. The next year, Gerrard get the reason why Owen left Liverpool, Champion League trophy.
- Energetic and Passionate. If you see Steven Gerrard play, u will see a young man full of passion and energy (even after the Italian giant, AC Milan had scored 3 goals and Liverpool had not scored anything)
But even wikipedia dun say anything about his personal life.

However, for me, Steven Gerrard is definitely more capable than David Beckham (and John Terry and Joe Cole and Frank Lampard and Michael Owen etc) to be the next England National Team captain. England needs more than just David Beckham to be its captain. What it needs is a more energetic, passionate player. And Steven Gerrard definitely suits that position. I am definitely not very objective because I am one of Gerrard' fans, but maybe 3 or 4 years from now, Sven Goran Ericksson's successor will thank me for writing this blog :D
