A certain blonde haired footballer and his wife have long been the bain of the cheery souls here at Globaleyes, but we've never really bothered to comment much on the matter as yards of print are wasted on this insipid pair every day as it is.
Today however, Senor Beckham has demonstrated what a corporate automaton he really is, by making a statement regarding the new 2004 Adidas ball for the Euro championships.
The ball was used in Spain during Wednesdays' friendly with Peru and to a man, the Spanish lads have said the ball is a piece of shite.
Said Real Betis winger Joaquin "It's hard to believe they can call this a ball. It lifts a lot and doesn't follow a true line." And, according to Coach Inaki Saez "it has no seams it behaves very strangely. It's horrible, difficult to control and to pass."
Funnily enough however, one man in Spain seems to love it: "The new Roteiro reacts very well to my foot... I've noticed that the accuracy of my corners, my passing and, of course, my free kicks improved."
Of course I am quite sure that the fact that Beckham has a lucrative sponsorship deal with Adidas, in no way influenced his comments...
David Beckham you are The Corporate Whore of the Month.
