Beckham captained England 58 times during his tenure as England captain,[97] one of the most in England's history. With his free kick goal against Ecuador in the second round of the 2006 World Cup, Beckham gained membership into two of football's exclusive clubs: he became the only English player — and the 21st player regardless of nationality — to score in three world cups. Real Madrid team-mate Raùl ... achieved this feat a few days earlier.[98] It also made him only the fifth player in World Cup history to score twice from a direct free kick; the other four were Pelé, Rivelino, Teófilo Cubillas and Bernard Genghini (Beckham had previously scored this way against Colombia in the first round of the 1998 World Cup). All three goals were against South American teams (Colombia, Argentina and Ecuador) and from set pieces (the two aforementioned free kicks and a penalty against Argentina).

Beckham has confessed to his affair with the “Loos” woman. Now, the sleaze-machine is headed to America, so hide your men, girls! Rebecca Loos is supposedly going to try her hand at acting in the U.S., after her successful performances in “Celebrity Love Island” and “The Farm.”

David's flair for fashion and individualism fuelled some of this interest. A new hair style, a new outfit, and it's front page news, and there have been many of both. The hair has been shaved off, cut into a Mohawk, been left long and wild and carefully made into plaits, and each one made the headlines. The clothes have a similar effect, for example, David's infamous sarong. This influence has led to many sponsorship deals, and ... his own line of Marks and Spencer2 clothes for boys. Indeed, such was the level of his popularity that he even inspired a movie title Bend it like Beckham.
