"El partido con Atletico was mucho mejor para todos (The game against Atletico was much better for all of us)," He stuttered nervously in a mixture of English and Spanish before analysing his side's recent victory over their city rivals. Beckham blushed as he answered several questions in stilted Spanish but will have won over many people as he provided the first evidence that he was beginning to use the language. ------------- Shakira <a href="http://www.alcohol-rehab.cn" rel="nofollow">Alcohol Rehab</a> England soccer captain David Beckham was given a spontaneous round of applause by journalists today when he made his first attempt at speaking Spanish in public at a Real Madrid news conference. “El partido con Atletico was mucho mejor para todos (The game against Atletico was much better for all of us),” He stuttered nervously in a mixture of English and Spanish before analysing his side’s recent victory over their city rivals.

Its true that it has worked in other sports, KP and Mike Catt in Rugby Union, but both of those were partly down to the South Africa situation. I'm really not sure to be honest. If the person genuinely felt attached to the country, I'd be fine with it, but the worry is he's just using it to get international football - how will we compete if we're just Spain Reserves?
