Went to watch England played Ukraine for the World Cup 2010 Qualifier on 31 March 2009. England is on a good run under manager Fabio Capello and hopefully will do well next year in South Africa.
It's amazing to be at Wembley, where all the major football matches I watched on TV since like two decades ago were played.
Inside the stadium the atmosphere was great.
England was dominating the game and Peter Crouch scored England's first goal.
Beckham wearing number 17 jersey came on the second half to replace the new number 7 Aaron Lennon. He was the man best remembered wearing the number 7 for both England and Manchester United. It's arguable that who's the best replacement right winger for England, either Aaron Lennon or Theo Walcott, both are lightning fast but maybe not yet have the 'touches' Beckham has.
I must say Beckham still delivers the ball brilliantly, especially at the set piece. And he's the different one, when he gets the ball you hope things will happen. The
£40 ticket was well worth it watching him alone.
Andriv Shevchenko, the number 7 for Ukraine came on the second half as well. He's the only two players who I recognised in Ukraine squad, others than Andriv Voronin, the Liverpool striker who is now on loan with Hertha Berlin. The European footballer of the year 2004 was a different class and he had brought changes to the game and scored the equaliser.
Just when everyone thought the game will be ended up a 1-1 draw... Beckham on the set piece...
and John Terry sealed the winner with a header! Beckham is still relevant and should continue to play. My wishful thinking is Beckham to divorce with Victoria and return to Manchester United and end his career there.
It was a good game and I was one of the 87,548 fans there to witness England on the path to win the World Cup 2010 (another wishful thinking?).
