Brainy Beckham

Last Saturday was an England Football World Cup qualifier against Wales. Captain, David Beckham was booked. He has subsequently claimed that this was deliberate stating "I am sure some people think I have not got the brains to be that clever". Beckham was playing under a yellow card, one other yellow meant that he would face a ban for the next match. Beckham said that after a tackle he was aware that he had sustained a rib injury similar to one he had had before, and knew that he would be unable to play for another few weeks. He decided to deliberately tackle Wales' Ben Thatcher and get his one match suspension out of the way when he could not play. He then boasted of his brain power to the press. He has now received a bollocking from FIFA and has been forced to apologise. It has been rumoured that he may still be punished to some extent for this, due to his admission that it was deliberate. Smart move, David. Very smart.
