Curious case of David Beckham


Grass approximately 1 and a half inch long, ball 9 inch in its diameter, distance - edge of the penalty box to be precise 19.7 yards that would be 18.5 metres, hieght of the opposition wall - on an average from 5foot8" to 6foot 5". Location can be argued to be the red and black hell of football, the stadium of rosseneri - San Siro. A mistake at this level and the Italian papers along with the whole world the next day happily play cynic and criticise one of the finest in this art. The air is moist, probably with the sweat , its been a tiring game 33 minutes down and still no breakthrough and steps up arguably the most recognized face in footbal today to just prove how modest he is with his game. Goal being a mighty strech of 24feet that would be 7.32 meter(I am providing you with this just so you guys know what dimensions I am talking about), from an angle he is standing it becomes a lowly 2 meter gap between  the keeper and the upright. One glance at the net box again, a blurry vision of red and black cloud , a look at the mamoth sized supporters wearing their emotions on their sleeves. 20 years of professional football and a reputation of being one of the best in this situation, to be judged in the next coming second. A subtle movement, so elegant in its movement can be compared to a trained ballet dancer perfomers movement. A soft thud*being the adidas leather hitting the nike globe* and SCORE!!!.
David Beckham Scores a goal and the next few seconds are/is just noise of celebration. A man kept continuously under media survelliance and criticized for every left foot he takes, proves simply in his own style Action speaks louder than comments.
