Beckham set for dead-ball success
David Beckham has warned England's World Cup opponents he is confident of using his dead-ball skills to telling effect in Germany.
The England skipper showed signs of being back to his best in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Hungary when his pinpoint free-kicks set up the opening two goals for Steven Gerrard and John Terry. Beckham's free-kicks have often proved a major part of England's armoury, but he is also prepared to take a back seat if one of England's other leading lights fancy their chances of scoring.
The Real Madrid star said: "One of the biggest parts of my game is set-pieces and crosses and, if I get the chance like the other night against Hungary, then I will put in crosses so people can score from them. It might be Joe Cole on another night from the opposite flank or maybe Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard who score with shots. If that's the case, then great."
