Fiery Becks loses his rag after Hurst's Lennon plea England v Ecuador
By Gary Ralston
THE three lions that usually sprawl lazily across the crest on David Beckham's England shirt sat up and roared yesterday against the critics writing off their World Cup chances.
The Real Madrid star visibly bristled as he railed against the "agendas" from non-believers who insist he and his mates are doomed to failure.
England take on Ecuador in Stuttgart tomorrow with a place in the quarter-finals up for grabs but Sven Goran Eriksson's squad will battle more than just the burly South Americans.
They are also fighting a rearguard action at home, with the media and high-profile former players such as Geoff Hurst wading in with criticism after three low-key performances in the competition.
Hurst, a hat-trick hero in 1966, called yesterday for the England skipper to be dropped in favour of Spurs winger Aaron Lennon because he reckons the youngster has more pace with which to trouble opposition defenders.
There was an all too familiar sight of long knives glinting in the summer sun at the English base in Baden Baden yesterday morning as the world's most hard to please football press analysed a group campaign that was anything but shining.
The English defence have been getting it in the neck after the 2-2 draw with Sweden while the team's inability to perform at a high tempo for even 60 minutes against Paraguay and Trinidad and Tobago has been a cause for concern.
This delightful corner of southern Germany boasts more millionaires than any other part of the country -even before the England squad and their better halves arrived in town - but praise for the English campaign thus far has been miserly.
Beckham strode into the press centre yesterday with a 38 inch chest but it had swollen to bodybuilder proportions by the time he had finished addressing us all.
The Lions certainly seemed to awaken from their slumber on his regulation polo shirt as he faced his antagonists head on.
It wasn't Ricky Tomlinson quoting Rudolph Kipling's 'If' in Mike Basset: England Manager, but it wasn't far off it as he put forward his point of view over the course of 20 eloquent minutes.
Beckham said: "There are certain agendas at work in this situation but the only agenda the players and myself are interested in is performing at the highest level possible to win this competition.
"There's no anger in our squad at any criticism but there has been surprise on a few faces at the amount of negativity thrown at certain players and our team performances.
"But we're men, we've got to take it as it's part and parcel of the English mentality and the football mentality - even if we think it's harsh and not worthy at being thrown in the direction of certain individuals.
"Personally, I don't care what people are saying. I'm not going to sit and talk about my form because I'm part of a very talented squad that has a great chance of progressing to the quarter-finals.
"We've done well to get to this stage and it's not for me to sit here and talk about David Beckham, but England, as we approach the last 16 of the World Cup finals.
"It's in the back of our minds that we've reached that stage of the competition where every game could be our last but we've got to think we're here for the next couple of weeks.
"We're very positive in this tournament - nothing has changed since two-and-a-half weeks ago when we were in Manchester and everyone was talking about how good we were as a team.
"We still have great players in our squad and we're still confident. It's important for us to go into this game playing as well as we know we can.
"We're so positive as a team. In fact, I've never been in a team that's as positive and that hasn't changed in the slightest over the last few weeks.
"Other people may have been negative but our morale has not changed.
"We're still a confident team and when we start to pass the ball as we know we can it'll click. But it has got to happen this weekend."
Ecuador are rated 39th in the world and around 3,500 fans have made the 13,000-mile round trip from South America to Germany to follow their team.
They will be outnumbered around 15 to one in the Gottlieb Daimler Stadion tomorrow afternoon with over 70,000 England supporters are expected to pour into Stuttgart this weekend, many watching from the fan zone in the centre of the town.
This is Beckham's third tilt at the World Cup and he admits England will never have a better chance to win the competition for the first time in 40 years.
No matter what, the last thing he wants to hear over the next couple of weeks is another English hard luck story.
Beckham said: "The English players who have turned out in World Cups before realize chances as good as this don't come along so often.
"Everything is right for us and we don't want to waste this opportunity in Germany as it might not come around again. In four years the competition will be played in South Africa and maybe Australia or South America after that.
"At big competitions like this you sit in the team hotel and fantasise about what would happen if you go all the way to the final and it's up to us to look atitrealistic ally and try to make it happen.
"We're not kidding ourselves. We've lost players at times and other situations have not gone right, but the togetherness in this squad could not be stronger. The injury to Michael Owen apart, everything has gone perfectly.
"We've now got to take the confidence we show in training
and in the press conferences onto the pitch and it's not daunting to play in front of 70,000 fans.
"We don't want any excuses this time. At the end of the day, we've gone out of competitions in the past at certain stages when we should have gone further.
"I was especially gutted to go out four years ago in Japan after losing to Brazil because we were 1-0 up in that match and had put ourselves in a good position to go on and win the game.
"Certain excuses have been used by players after we've exited tournaments, but it's up to us to progress and focus on the positives.
"This is the best chance we've had to win this competition for many years."
Even if Beckham and Co go on to emulate the achievements of Bobby Moore and his
World Cup winners he knows they won't do it easily.
He added: "Ecuador are very, very good technically and they have several big, strong players who have already proved they can be a danger in attacking play.
"It'll be tough and although we all wish we could go into a game and win by three or four goals it's unlikely to happen.
"The English mentality is to fight for everything we achieve and it has always been this way for me - even at Manchester United.
"It has been a long 10 years and although I'd sometimes like us to win more easily and progress more smoothly, I wouldn't change a thing."
Except, perhaps, that statistic stretching back four decades and a few headlines in the English papers.
As if.

The sighs of relief were audible all across England when Peter Crouch’s 83rd minute header hit the back of the Trinidad and Tobago net.

To that point, England were once more labouring towards what would have been an embarrassing goalless draw, with the same old problems manifestly halting their progress.

While it is fair to say that England dominated against the Caribbean outfit, their inability to score or even create enough clear-cut chances to render their profligate finishing meaningless must be a worry to coach Sven Goran Eriksson. Tougher tests are appearing quickly on the horizon, most notably the Group B decider with Sweden in Cologne on Tuesday (June 20), and a good deal more urgency and decisiveness are a must if England are to prosper.

Before his goal Crouch had been among the most guilty of England players. Beside missing a gift-wrapped opportunity close to half-time, the Liverpool robot then went on to place a header just over Shaka Hislop’s crossbar. Perhaps he can take comfort in the fact that he was not alone, as Michael Owen again looked some way short of the sharpness which is required and which is ordinarily the hallmark of his game. Newcastle United’s former Liverpool and Real Madrid man spooned wide when presented with another present from Hislop, before placing a normally routine header wide of the West Ham stopper’s post.

The long awaited World Cup finals bow of Wayne Rooney, aswell as the introduction of Spurs winger Aaron Lennon gave England a much needed boost. However, once again it was Owen who was sacrificed by Eriksson in the re-shuffle, allowing Crouch to run away with what little plaudits were on offer by the end. Puzzlingly, it has become the general consensus in recent weeks that Owen can no longer form a credible forward partnership with Rooney, despite the fact that the pair have performed admirably together in the past.

It’s only two years since the pair were consistently worrying defences at Euro 2004 in Portugal, with the eventual injury to the then Everton striker finally putting paid to English hopes against the hosts. With the passage of such little time since then, surely it is the recent lack of fitness suffered by both as a result of troublesome metatarsals which is stifling their expression, rather than any sudden realisation that they are not a match made in Heaven after all.

The much maligned midfield axis of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard again suffered. With Gerrard asked to perform a more rigid, defensive role he cannot possibly be the all-action, imposing figure who turns out for Liverpool in the Premiership each week. It seems the Whiston-born star is bearing the brunt of the criticism as a result, with Lampard getting off relatively lightly. In reality, Lampard is the one palpably failing to reproduce the form for which he is revered at home, despite being given adequate license by Eriksson at the expense of the Liverpool captain. When Gerrard finally advanced in the final moments, he unleashed a fearsome left-foot hammer which almost seemed to accentuate the notion that it his talents rather than those of the Chelsea man that are most central to English aspirations.

Defensively scares were few and far between, but had John Terry not produced a blinding and frankly uncharacteristic moment of acrobatics England would have been a goal down before half-time. The Chelsea stopper was on hand to scissor kick Stern John’s looping effort off the line. The same player was narrowly caught offside before netting late in the game, but by that point Gerrard’s stunning intervention had sealed the win for Eriksson’s men.

And yet there can be no doubt that if England have genuine ambitions in World Cup 2006, a vast improvement is required in future games. The Sweden clash provides another test, with debate currently raging about the inclusion or otherwise of Owen and/or Rooney.

Maybe, just maybe, Eriksson has a more important decision to make regarding Lampard and Gerrard.

Wales scrum-half Mike Phillips revealed he is desperate to prove himself against one of the best in the business when he faces Argentina captain Agustin Pichot tomorrow.
Phillips starts in an experimental Wales side for Gareth Jenkins' first game in charge since taking over as national coach six weeks ago.
Jenkins has named an inexperienced team as he looks to blood another generation of players ahead of next year's World Cup in France.
However, Jenkins has stuck by Phillips who made a name for himself during the RBS 6 Nations when he emerged as a genuine contender for the Welsh number nine jersey following injuries to British Lions duo Dwayne Peel and Gareth Cooper.
His one-man demolition of France in the final game of the 6 Nations in Cardiff was hailed as one of the best solo performances against Les Bleus in recent years.
Now the 23-year-old aims to show his World Cup credentials by impressing his former Llanelli coach against a world-class opponent.
Phillips said: "It will be great to play against a genuine top quality scrum-half.
"Pichot is world class and it's great to put yourself up against these kind of players and see how you measure up. It will be a great experience that I'm sure I'll learn from.
"I've been studying footage of him. He's destructive around the scrum and has been around for a long time so he knows how to control a game. He pulls all the strings for the Pumas.
"All I can do is carry on where I left off against France and play my game. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself."
Despite the 21-16 defeat, Phillips' performance against the French at the Millennium Stadium was closely observed by Stade Francais star Pichot, eight years his senior, who admits he will have to keep a close eye on the young pretender.
Pichot, 31, said: "I saw Mike Phillips have a wonderful game against France in the last week of the Six Nations, everyone was talking about him.
"He is just the latest in a long line of good Welsh scrum-halves who I have admired.
"Wales always seem to produce them ever since Gareth Edwards, Robert Jones, Rob Howley and Dwayne Peel. I enjoy playing against them because they are always so good."
Phillips will line up alongside Cardiff Blues team-mate and half-back partner Nick Robinson who will also be looking to lay a marker down with the new coach while their Llanelli Scarlets counterparts Peel and Stephen Jones spend the summer resting.
Phillips said: "It's been great playing together for both club and country, I think it's helped us both.
"Nick is a bit of a general on the field, he likes to organise people around him and boss people like most outside-halves.
"It's good to have a familiar face outside you but we know it's going to be tough against Argentina."
Wales wing Mark Jones has recovered from a knee problem this week and will start.
The Pumas are without three players, Toulouse prop Omar Hasan and centre Federico Aramburu and second-row Manuel Carizza of Biarritz who are involved in the French Championship final this weekend.
Leinster outside-half Felipe Contepomi also misses the game as he is sitting medical exams in Dublin.
However coach Marcelo Loffreda has still been able to name a near full-strength side lead by Stade Francais star Agustin Pichot.
Argentina: JM Hernandez (Stade Francais); JM Piossek (Bayonne), G Tiesi (London Irish), R Carballo (Toulon), L Borges (Stade Francais); F Todescini (Beziers), A Pichot (capt, Stade Francais); R Roncero (Stade Francais), M Ledesma (Clermont-Auvergne), M Scelzo (Clermont-Auvergne), IF Lobbe (Sale Sharks), RA Kairelis (Perpignan), JM Lobbe (URBA), G Longo (Clermont-Auvergne), JM Leguizamon (London Irish). Replacements: M Ayerza (Newman), P Gambarini (CASI), S Sanz (URBA), M Schusterman (Plymouth Albion), NF Miranda (Hindu), F Leonelli (Edinburgh), F Serra (SIC).
Wales: L Byrne (Ospreys); M Jones (Llanelli Scarlets), J Robinson (Cardiff Blues), M Watkins (Llanelli Scarlets), S Williams (Ospreys); N Robinson (Cardiff Blues), M Phillips (Cardiff Blues); D Jones (capt, Ospreys), M Rees (Llanelli Scarlets), A Jones (Ospreys), I Gough (Newport Gwent Dragons), I Evans (Ospreys), AW Jones (Ospreys), A Popham (Llanelli Scarlets), G Thomas (Llanelli Scarlets).

After spending two World Cups as an attacking playmaker for the United States, Claudio Reyna might find himself in a more defensive role at this year's tournament. The U.S., which plays the Czech Republic, Italy and Ghana in one of the tougher first-round groups, will need Reyna to be more of a calming influence and tempo-setter.
"As players come and go into the team, I think I just try to find my role in the team," Reyna said. "Previously, I was probably more of an attacking player. And now, l still have a responsibility to control the tempo of the game, when to slow it down and speed it up."
If the 32-year-old American captain is pushed back into more of a holding midfield role, it leads to some intriguing questions about coach Bruce Arena's lineup for the opening game against the Czechs on June 12.
Will Landon Donovan play as an attacking midfielder or as a forward alongside Brian McBride? Will Josh Wolff or Clint Dempsey find his way into the starting lineup? Will John O'Brien, if he recovers from a long list of injuries, find his way into the first 11?
Arena probably knows, but, of course, he isn't about to say.
Tougher on drugs
Bowing to pressure to enact stricter doping penalties, FIFA will adopt minimum two-year suspensions yet still allow national soccer associations to reduce bans for special circumstances.
FIFA executive committee member Chuck Blazer said his organization is compliant "on paper" with the World Anti-Doping Agency's guidelines. WADA had pressured FIFA, which had a six-month ban, to get tougher.
"In principle, we agree to the two-year suspensions, which in some cases could be more or could be less," Blazer said. "We

Perkman on roll
Jose Pekerman won three world championships coaching Argentina's youth teams. Now he's betting the same players can bring Argentina its third World Cup title.
Of the 23 players on the World Cup squad, 17 played for Pekerman during his decade as the country's youth coach.
"He has known us since we were kids," said Pablo Aimar, the Valencia midfielder. "He taught us. He knows how we think and live. He's part of our life."
Pekerman took over the senior national team in September 2004, a club still bruised from its humiliating first-round exit from the 2002 World Cup.
No Coast-ing
Group C could be the toughest in the World Cup. Argentina and the Netherlands are the favorites, and Serbia-Montenegro is the heir to Yugoslavia's tough, technical approach. However, the wild card is Ivory Coast.
Runners-up in the African Cup of Nations earlier this year, the Elephants are loaded with talent.
"We know the Ivory Coast has a very good team, important players who play on important teams in Europe," Argentine defender Gabriel Milito said "We don't think it's going to be easy."

Pernia, who had set a wedding date for June 20 after he was left out of the squad, will fly back from Buenos Aires and join up with the side in time for the warm-up game against Egypt in Elche on Saturday.
Spain open their World Cup campaign on June 14 against Ukraine, and also play Tunisia and Saudi Arabia in Group H.
Pernia has scored spectacular goals from open play and set pieces in the league, with a stunning volley from outside the area against Barcelona being a contender for goal of the season.
He will be competing with Atletico Madrid's Antonio Lopez for a place in the starting team.
"The two are similar in style. Both are good going forward and are good from dead-ball situations. The best player in training will be the one who gets the nod to start."
