All Beckham could do was cross and free kick. A two trick pony in an overrated team. It's like saying Sampras was better than Federer.
He was feted for dragging England into the world Cup with a free kick by the skin of his teeth. That's the sort of shit the Scotland team are doing these days. Nowadays England cruise into every tournament top of the table.
Grealish is a more versatile footballer with much greater close control skills than Beckham who was really just a set piece and cross specialist with a good engine. Beckham was a more regular match winner than Grealish is currently, but Grealish is young.
Sorry, "hot take"? People take you seriously down the pub talking about sport after you have used this phrase, I imagine? Perhaps you then follow each other on tiktok?
Anyway no surprise that people who clearly do know about sport think exactly the same thing.
grealish is a nicer player 2 watch (when he’s not throwing himself over), more of a natural talent
his trouble is he only made it into the national team and to a decent sized club at 25, which isn’t a disaster but makes gr7ness that bit harder. he’s also not a worker, has lazy or anonymous games
becks, by contrast, was much more effective as a player and for a much longer period - guaranteed a goal very 5-6 games and loads of assists, precision and rarely a poor or lazy game - a workhorse whose hard graft earnt his phenomenal success
becks was and still is much better looking. grealish is a long way from butterz but he’s no becks
Becks was world class. Best crosser of a ball England have ever had, superb range of passing, great engine, set-pieces, and a better finisher than he got credit for. Looked every part a galactico and swanned into 4 of the top teams in Europe. Anyone denying he was world class looks a bit daft, tbh.

A spurious hot take is always a good one.
Very good read.

Beckham was good enough to play for Man u for what 10 years and then Real for another 2.

Agreed. That's all Bex had and did. He was also uninjured for long periods.

Has Grealish actually done anything other than generate hype and wear tiny / nonexistent shinpads?
Typical for armchair fans to fall for the hypemachine I suppose.

He's nailed on for having a shit Barnet and muscular calves. The rest is yet to be proven.

Probably worth noting that Beckham had phenomenal close control in his pomp too. He was just too slow to beat a man

I agree Grealish hit the big time late but look at Ian Wright. He could have ten years of true stardom.

Agreed and they look even dafter claiming a 25yr old showpony who can barely get into the England team is better.
